[Xymon] Can Xymon alert for a missing disk on windows?

[Becker Christian]

Tom,


the following should do it for you: try to include the disks of the mentioned windows server in analysis.cfg with the needed options, even if they already show up in the disk section.

Example:

HOST=WINDOWSSERVER
	DISK   C   85   90
	DISK   D   55   70

(Pls note that changes like this could take some minutes before they are reflected by xymon.)

Now xymon knows that you explicitely want to know about these disks. You can verify this if you add a disk in this section that doesn't exist on the windows server: after a couple of minutes, xymon should report this disk as red in the disk section.


Regards and good luck!
Christian

Betreff: [Xymon] Can Xymon alert for a missing disk on windows?

Hi,

Is there a way to have Xymon alert if a disk is missing on a Windows server?

I have the win_ps_client installed on them and I see the disks listed in the client data. Is it possible to configure Xymon to alert is one of those disks is missing?

We had a server that one of the disks went off line after updates were installed and the machine was rebooted (Thanks Microsoft). Xymon was happy but the users were not.

My Google foo has not yielded anything useful but I feel like this should be possible without resorting to Powershell weirdness.

Regards,
