Following up on the above bug from 2020 -- we need more information here: what is the issue that you would like fixed? you can already (even in 2020) add or subtract any rules for logcheck that you like. smartd has a way to alert you to issues, but that is nothing to do with logcheck. in the absence of a clearer statement we would need to close this one.
