+    Fixes the smartmon script to be case insensitive when checking for
+    the inital SMART info. This is to ensure that the script works
+    correctly on systems where the output of `smartctl -i` is not
+    capitalised as previously expected by the script. This leads to
+    badly formatted .prom files which lead to node_exporter failing to
+    scrape the file.
