added disk to windows server

[jermlac]

I added a drive to my Windows server via my SAN that did not require a reboot of the server. Whenever I view the host in Nagios Core 3.4.1, and click 'View Status Detail For This Host', I do not see the drive listed as monitored.

I have run a system check and all services check on this host and still do not see the new drive listed. What am I missing?

What plugin are you using to dynamically monitor new SAN additions? What are you using to monitor the windows server currently?

Since I am not the one who setup this Nagios instance, I am not really sure of the plugin names. I add the servers to windows.cfg and they have NSClient++ running on them. Does that provide the information your asking?

Nagios will not dynamically add new additions to the environment to be monitored, you would need to add the new device into the configuration by hand. Can you share the service's configuration file where you added the new drive to be monitored?

actually, you helped point me in the correct direction. I did not have the drives being monitored for the host group that my servers belonged to. i added the drives to my windows.cfg file and all is working now. thanks!

Excellent! No problem.
