That's the line you are looking for. Since your disk apparently does not store an error log - not sure if that's something with SSDs in general or just with this particular disk - you will always have to invoke

smartctl -t short /dev/sda

and then after the test has completed check the output of

smartctl -a /dev/sda

for that particular line. Shouldn't be too hard to put in a cron job, just make sure the job waits long enough (more than 1 minute, make it 2 to be sure) with reading the output of smartctl -a after invoking smartctl -t short.
