But is that not what you were asking how to do? You didnt want them to all be listed in the same service check, so removing the CheckAll from the check itself makes it so you only check one drive. Unless you want to receive check information for all of your drives in one service there is no way to "auto-discover" hardware within windows to share with NSClient, to push up to Nagios. This is however something we have been looking into for Nagios XI.

If you are using the same drives on your windows servers you could copy a template configuration for your service, or copy the same service command to the new host/service setup when you create it. This would make it so you do not have to manually add everything again.

Hi slansing,

thank for you reply,

From you post i can understand that there is no option to configure the auto discovery of the drive check in separate service checks .

however we can get the auto discovery of drives out put in single service check.

Please correct me if my understanding is correct.

You have to understand, it is not auto discovering anything, it is only running the check against all of your drives, it does not go out and dynamically choose them and let you know what it can monitor. You must either check all of them with CheckAll, or you can add them each as separate services, there is no automation being done here.
