Monitor Hard Disk or RAM Failure

[sarfarosh]

Hi Team,
How to monitor HDD and RAM Failure for Windows and Linux.
I have had gone through smartctl & hdsentinel but it seems like that only works in linux environment. Can we monitor HDD & RAM failure on Ubuntu and Windows.

Hello sarfarosh,

There is a multitude of plugins available for NagiosXI to monitor memory and hard drive usage. A few of these are included in the NagiosXI installation. NagiosXI can also monitor SMART attributes of your hard drive(s) Please see this document:

And visit the Nagios exchange and browse the available plugins for NagiosXI

Thank you!

Hi bolson,
I have tried with the below mentioned plugin, but unfortunately i am getting the CRITICAL for everything. Please correct me if i am doing something wrong here.

[root@nagios-xi libexec]# ./check_smart.py --device=/dev/sda2
CRITICAL: device does not pass health status
[root@nagios-xi libexec]# ./check_smart.py --device=/dev/sda3
CRITICAL: device does not pass health status
[root@nagios-xi libexec]# ./check_smart.py --device=/dev/sda3 -w 80 -c 90
CRITICAL: device does not pass health status

Please try running the command against a device rather than a partition. ie:

Code: Select all

./check_smart.py --device=/dev/sda

And post the result.

Thank you!
