DESCRIPTION:

Some disk drives and SSD (Solid State Drives) have a feature called “S.M.A.R.T.” which means “Self-Monitoring, Analysis & Reporting Technology”. On Windows computers, this information is stored in WMI. I wrote a PowerShell script-based datasource to collect this info. Since not all drives have this SMART feature, I put in a datapoint that also shows if it has this feature/capability (1=yes, 0=no).

 

smart-status

INSTRUCTIONS:

  1. Download this datasource file and add it to your account:  Settings > Datasources > Add > From file
  2. Wait a few minutes for it to start collecting….Test it by looking in the “Raw Data” tab.
  3. I set it to alert threshold to ‘warning’ if the value is anything other than “OK” but you can change it.

NOTES:

As with most of my datasources, you cannot get official technical support from LogicMonitor.
