I was wondering if there is a module/plugin that will allow me to check the S.M.A.R.T. status of the HDD's on a Windows system. I see there is a plugin that works for a linux based system but would like to know if there is a way to get the status from a Windows system as well.

Hey, Rexshow,
Currently there is no SMART plugin for windows, as you said the only one we have is for linux systems, but feel free to adapt the plugin to your operating system.

So Pandora does not have any native options or plugins to check if an HDD is in a state of failure?

Hello Rexshow,
Anything you could know through command line could be monitored by Pandora FMS, you just have to create the right plugin, it's not difficult. You can try with the command:
wmic diskdrive get status
This command returns OK if the disk is in good condition. Configure a boolean module and if the command does not return OK send the module to critical.

Could you possibly create an example of the code i should use in the plugin file so that it will work properly with pandora?
