Windows Disk Check

Is it possible for Windows to have a single client check for all disks with one threshold and also specify another threshold for specific disks in the same check.?

This sounds quite a bit like a custom check. Let me make sure I've got this right.
Say you have a Windows server with C:, D:, E:, and F: drives. You want to have one check that will check all of those drives for a high watermark, say warning 90, critical 95. But E: and F: are special, we need to make sure there's room there for a large flood of data should it come in. So their levels are set to warning 75, critical 80. Does that sound about right?

Yes.

I was thinking this would be a custom check, but it looks like the check_disk plugin has an example for this.
check_disk -w 100 -c 50 -C -w 1000 -c 500 -p /foo -C -w 5% -c 3% -p /bar
Checks /foo for 1000M/500M and /bar for 5/3%. All remaining volumes use 100M/50M
Would this work for your needs?

Well I need the Windows version of that.
I know right now I call
/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_nrpe -H 192.168.x.x -c alias_disk
Which is calling
alias_disk = CheckDriveSize MinWarn=10% MinCrit=5% CheckAll FilterType=FIXED
This would do it for all fixed disk but if I have disks that are beyond this threshold... then I am looking for not only doing this but also specifying disks indivually with their own threshold .

I don't know that CheckDriveSize can do this in a single command. Here are all of the options for it.
Code: Select all
CheckDriveSize help
L cli OK: help Show help screen (this screen)
help-pb Show help screen as a protocol buffer payload
show-default Show default values for a given command
help-short Show help screen (short format).
CheckAll=ARG Checks all drives.
Default value: CheckAll=true
CheckAllOthers=ARG Checks all drives turns the drive option into an exclude
option.
Default value: CheckAllOthers=true
Drive=ARG The drives to check
FilterType=ARG The type of drives to check fixed, remote, cdrom,
ramdisk, removable
perf-unit=ARG Force performance data to use a given unit prevents
scaling which can cause problems over time in some
graphing solutions.
ShowAll=ARG Configures display format (if set shows all items not
only failures, if set to long shows all cores).
Default value: ShowAll=short
MaxWarn=ARG Maximum value before a warning is returned.
MaxCrit=ARG Maximum value before a critical is returned.
MinWarn=ARG Minimum value before a warning is returned.
MinCrit=ARG Minimum value before a critical is returned.
MaxWarnFree=ARG Maximum value before a warning is returned.
MaxCritFree=ARG Maximum value before a critical is returned.
MinWarnFree=ARG Minimum value before a warning is returned.
MinCritFree=ARG Minimum value before a critical is returned.
MaxWarnUsed=ARG Maximum value before a warning is returned.
MaxCritUsed=ARG Maximum value before a critical is returned.
MinWarnUsed=ARG Minimum value before a warning is returned.
MinCritUsed=ARG Minimum value before a critical is returned.
L cli Performance data:
You could do most of what you're looking to do, but I don't think it can be done in a single check without it being a custom script.
