Project Notes
Nagio/NRPE_NT VBS Script to check for harddisks about to fail, using MSStorageDriver_FailurePredictStatus from WMI Usage check_smartpfa Example: check_smartpfa Sample Output: OK : No PFA/S.M.A.R.T errors detected EASY HOWTO: 1-Place the script Copy the script to "c:nrpe_ntpluginsv2" or whatever location your NRPE_NT .vbs are at. 2-Set nrpe_nt.cfg Inside the NRPE_NT Client Server add the command line in the file nrpe_nt.cfg: command[check_smartpfa]=cscript.exe //nologo //T:60 c:nrpe_ntpluginsv2smartpfa.vbs 3-Restart the nrpe_nt service net stop nrpe_nt net start nrpe_nt 4-Define the command inside nagios $USER1$/check_nrpe -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -c check_smartpfa Absolutely no warranties! In case you find a flawed harddisk using this utility, please post a review! It is near impossible to test this script without access to a failing disk. Only known bug is that some computers simply don't have this WMI class populated. In that case a warning is issued, you should not be lulled into a false sense of security.

not in all cases

This will just use the general overall-health attribute in Smart but a disk with broken sectors is still reported as PASSED, so this is not a reliable method of early detecting as with Smart Attributes 5,196,197,198

of course i don't have a failing disk to see a critical state but it shows in nagios
OK : No PFA/S.M.A.R.T errors detected
here how i set it up:
1. Copy smartpfa.vbs into nsclient directory into scripts folder
2. Paste the following line into nsclient.ini file in the [wrapped scripts] sectioncheck_smartpfa=smartpfa.vbs /nologo /T:60
3. Restart nscleint in cmd type: net stop nsclientpp then net start nsclientpp
4. In nagios define the command $USER1$/check_nrpe_smart -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -c check_smartpfa
5. In services define: define service{
use generic-service
host_name myworkstation
service_description nrpe smart
check_command check_nrpe_smart
}
