Windows disk health monitoring with smartmontoolsl/NSClient++?

[Eric Pearce]

Thanks for the tip -  I think I'm making some progress, i.e. 

 C:\Program Files\NSClient++>"nsclient++.exe" CheckWMI Select Status from Win32_DiskDrive

 \NSClient++.cpp(370) Attempting to start NSCLient++ - 0.3.5.2 2008-09-24 

l \NSClient++.cpp(476) NSCLient++ - 0.3.5.2 2008-09-24 Started! 

l \CheckWMI.cpp(306) |--------+ 

l \CheckWMI.cpp(307) | Status | 

l \CheckWMI.cpp(308) |--------+ 

l \CheckWMI.cpp(317) | OK | 

l \CheckWMI.cpp(319) |--------+ 

l \NSClient++.cpp(530) Attempting to stop NSCLient++ - 0.3.5.2 2008-09-24 

l \NSClient++.cpp(589) NSCLient++ - 0.3.5.2 2008-09-24 Stopped succcessfully 

But I dont' see how to turn this output into something useful for Nagios, i.e. "OK", "WARNING", "CRITICAL". It appears that the possible return values for "Status" are one of the following: OK,Error,Degraded,Unknown,Pred Fail, Starting, Stopping, Service, Stressed, NonRecover, No Contact or Lost Comm. I would be happy with "OK" resulting in a Nagios "OK" and anything else being a "WARNING". Ideally, "WARNING" followed by the "Status" output from WMI. Is there a way to do this using the  NSClient "filter" and Max/Min syntax?   

Bonus question: What do you do if you have multiple drives? I don't see any obvious way to specify a drive to check.

Thanks

  USe WMI: 
  the path to the smart data:
  root/Cimv2/Win32_DiskDrive/
  [Instance] --> Status


  Hope this helps

    I'd like to get SMART disk health status for Windows machines.  It looks like smartctl would work fine on Windows - has someone got it working with NSClient++?
    I've found some people asking about this in the list archives, but haven't found any concrete examples.
    All I'm looking for is a basic "OK" or "something bad is going to happen soon" alert from Nagios.
    Thanks
