Here's my /etc/default/smartmontools:

  # Defaults for smartmontools initscript (/etc/init.d/smartmontools)
  # This is a POSIX shell fragment
  
  # list of devices you want to explicitly enable S.M.A.R.T. for
  # not needed if the device is monitored by smartd
  enable_smart="/dev/sda /dev/sdb"
  
  # uncomment to start smartd on system startup
  start_smartd=yes
  
  # uncomment to pass additional options to smartd on startup
  #smartd_opts="--interval 1800"

My /etc/smartd.conf (all the rest is commented out):

  #DEVICESCAN -m root -M exec /usr/share/smartmontools/smartd-runner
  
  # First (primary) ATA/IDE hard disk.  Monitor all attributes, enable
  # automatic online data collection, automatic Attribute autosave, and
  # start a short self-test every day between 2-3am, and a long self test
  # Saturdays between 3-4am.
  /dev/sda -d ata -a -o on -S on -s (S/../.././02|L/../../6/03)
  /dev/sdb -d ata -a -o on -S on -s (S/../.././02|L/../../6/03)

Here's what I get in /var/log/syslog when I restart smartmontools:
