Can Xymon alert for a missing disk on windows

Try setting it up for a file to exist on the drive.  If the drive goes
offline, the file will become non-existent and should alert.

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 explicitly 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.

I cannot get the above to work.

I have a file in analysis.d with the following in it:
HOST=fs1.mydomain.com
     DISK C 90 95
     DISK D 93 95
This was there when the D drive went offline and Xymon never alerted.

To test further, I dropped the warning for the D drive to 78 which is less
than
the current usage of 79% and I added the below.
     DISK z 93 95
What I found was the D drive went yellow as expected but the Z drive is
ignored
as it does not exist.

I am running 4.3.30 from the Terebithia rpms.

Any other suggestions?

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,
