I am using smartmontools 6 and redhat5.In my smartmontool, smartd dameaon is working fine that means logs at the location of /opt/smarttool/logs changes at every 30 minute.

logs file name are:

1)savestatesWDC_WD2500AAKX_221CA1-WD_WMAYUA520570.ata.state

2)attributelogWDC_WD2500AAKX_221CA1-WD_WMAYUA520570.ata.csv

3)attributelogTRANSCEND-20100412____CF1007B4.ata.csv

Now i want to execute a test using smartd by updating entries in smartd.conf file.At many sites i read that logs generates at the location of /var/log/messages when error or failure occurs.But i don't know that error occured or not while executing the test or logs are not generated at the location of /var/log/messages.

Is there any way to know test was successfully completed or not because i want to save the status of test that means completed or not or failure or error.​
