Is --info sufficient for reliable hardware health monitoring (RAID, PSU, sensors)?

Hi,

Thanks for this great plugin — it’s very useful.

I have a question regarding the --info option.

From my testing, --info is very fast and it seems to reflect overall system health. For example, when I insert a test failure into SEL, --info can return CRITICAL.

So I’m wondering:

Is --info intended to be sufficient as a general health check for the server?

More specifically:

• Will --info reliably detect hardware issues such as RAID degradation, disk failure, PSU failure, fan failure, etc.?
• Or is it only a high-level rollup that may miss certain subsystem problems (e.g. storage)?
• In production monitoring (e.g. Nagios), is it recommended to rely on --info alone, or should we always use specific checks like --storage, --power, --temp, etc.?

I’m trying to balance performance and coverage, since --all is quite slow and running many separate checks increases load on iDRAC.

Appreciate your advice on best practice.

Thanks!
