[nsclient++]monitoring disk health (s.m.a.r.t. status)

[nickdegroot]

Hi All,

Im configuring Nagios .
Most of the services works fine thru the nsclient++.
I can monitor the disk space , mem usage and cpuload.
But what i want to monitor aswell is the s.m.a.r.t. status of the HDD's of my workstations(so not from the servers , for arrays indeed are a lof of plugins available.)
Mostly we want to monitor HP dekstops. without any Array , and are running XP or W7.

I searched a lot in google and on the exchange , but can't find a plugin for my situation.
Is it possible thru the nsclient++ to monitor the s.m.a.r.t. status of a HDD from an HP desktop?

Thanks in advance!

This plugin might be what you are looking for: http://exchange.nagios.org/directory/Pl ... us/details

If that's unsuitable it's possible no one has created a plugin for what you are trying to do and you might need to get your hands dirty with some scripting and put one together yourself

Thanks for your reply.
I dont want to monitor my RAID status , just my DISK SMART status! and my scripting isnt so good that i could develop one myself , otherwise i would do it

Searching exchange I found check_smartmon, check_smart_attributes, check_smartctl, check_smartarray, check_smart, and a few more like check_disk_smart or check_alldisks_ide_smart. Do none of these really help you?
