Linux Software Raid Plugin Recommendation?

[Seth P. Low]

There are several plugins for this this already on nagios exchange. I would take a look there as well.

Some of them are:

http://www.nagiosexchange.org/Linux.55.0.html?&tx_netnagext_pi1[p_view]=639

Python plugin to check the status of a software based RAID device. patched version, So it will work on both older (fedora core 1, 2) and newer (fc3, fc4, fc5, centos 4) hosts. (patch from rouilj, 03.02.2006) test ok on Debian woody,

and

Anything that has a command line utility that gives you text output
displaying the status of your array can be scripted to create your own
plug in.  You just may need to know a little sh/perl/python to get it
done.

What utility do you use to check the status of your array now?  Can
you give me some sample output?  Perhaps I have the time to script
something for you today.
