Dear Team,
I am looking for a nagios plugin which will monitor if a particular drive is online or offline instead of monitoring the drive usage.
I need nagios to through alert if a particular drive/disk is offline.
Kindly let me know if there is any plugins available

I believe the native drive checking modules for
NSClient++ will fire off a CRITICAL/UNKNOWN if it can't find a specified drive.
Some examples:

Otherwise,
check_wmi_plus is a pretty popular one when it comes to agent-less windows monitoring. Much of our documentation for WMI monitoring is specific to Nagios XI, but much of the same steps apply to Nagios Core as well particularly in regards to setting up the Windows machine:

Thank you for your reply however in the below link i couldn't find any arguments which will show the drive status.All the examples shows the capacity monitoring.
I just need the nagios to through a critical alert if a particular drive is offline/absent.
I am a newbie in nagios.
Thanks in advance.

Did you try applying NSClient++ to your situation? As I mentioned:

Like so:
Code: Select all
[root@xi-stable libexec]# ./check_nrpe -H 192.168.67.99 -t 30 -c check_drivesize -a drive=C:
OK All 1 drive(s) are ok|'C: used'=21.62634GB;40.18593;45.20917;0;50.23241 'C: used %'=43%;80;90;0;100
[root@xi-stable libexec]# ./check_nrpe -H 192.168.67.99 -t 30 -c check_drivesize -a drive=F:
Filter processing failed: Failed to get size for F:: 3: The system cannot find the path specified.
: 0 > convert(0)
[root@xi-stable libexec]# echo $?
3
Additionally, check_wmi_plus will also return an "UNKNOWN" if a particular drive is not found:
Code: Select all
[root@xi-stable libexec]# ./check_wmi_plus.pl -H 192.168.67.99 -u admin -p welcome123 -m checkdrivesize -a 'C': -w '80' -c '95'
OK - C: Total=50.23GB, Used=21.60GB (43.0%), Free=28.63GB (57.0%) |'C: Space'=21.60GB; 'C: Utilisation'=43.0%;80;95;
[root@xi-stable libexec]# ./check_wmi_plus.pl -H 192.168.67.99 -u admin -p welcome123 -m checkdrivesize -a 'F': -w '80' -c '95'
UNKNOWN - Could not find a drive matching 'F:' or the WMI data returned is invalid. Available Drives are C:, E:
So all you would need to do in your service definition is fire notifications on "UNKNOWN" states. This can be done via the
notification_options directive when defining a service.
