To tell you the truth I have no idea, I'm not a Windows guy and have no idea how Windows does things like that.
Thanks, Larry Barber

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 hives over SNMP. If there was some other way to do it, it would be a lot 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?
