If you were logged onto the server, how would *you* detect that a RAID disk
had failed?
Now see if you can get a powershell or perl script to do the same. (You are
not limited to these. Use any scripting tool that is accessable and easy for
you)
Translate the results into red/yellow/green with a little script logic, and
add some useful information if you like.
Pass this to bbwin, and you got a RAID test.
Check Xymonton for some examples of similar tests.

Yes, I'm aware of that, but our security people get a serious case of

easier.

If you are using Windows software RAID, you could monitor the event log
to see if a disk fails. Unfortunately, I don’t know what messages might be
relevant.
If you are using hardware RAID from HP or Dell (probably others as well),
you can use the vendor-supplied agents to monitor the system via SNMP using
devmon.

Can Hobbit detect when a RAID disk fails on a Windows box? If so, how
does it show up?
