There are many Dell plugins. Most of them use Dell's OpenManage Server
Administrator software, which provides detailed insight into the
hardware, including hardware RAID controllers. For a comprehensive list
of Dell plugins, visit

  http://exchange.nagios.org/directory/Plugins/Hardware/Server-Hardware/Dell

There are many plugins, and you should just pick one you like. If your
server can't run OpenManage for some reason, your options are limited.
There are a few plugins that use software from the actual RAID
controller vendor (e.g. megaraid) to acquire the health of the
controller, but they are usually for a single type of controller model.

Happy monitoring,
