This solution is based on zabbix 2.0 api and LLD which is only available in zabbix 2.0
The template included uses active checks. Your zabbix agent must be configured for active checks otherwise the server won't receive any data..
Many thanks to Bruce Allen for creating and maintaining SmartMonTools.
Description
This solutions gives you complete monitoring of disks, volumes and quotas. The template uses LLD, meaning you don't have to configure any settings in the template, it automatically discovers and monitors all disks, volumes and quotas on the host.
You get monitoring for the following:
You also get several graphs like so:
[B]Usage/B]
Download the archive, extract the XML template, import it into the frontend and link the hosts to it.
Copy the vbs scripts to your zabbix agent folder and configure the following lines in your zabbix_agentd.conf file, replacing the path in the UserParameter with your zabbix agent installation path, restart the agent.
Replace "#1" "#2" with the correct form using $, as zabbix forum won't let me post any more dollar signs for some reason.
Download the perl scripts to you zabbix server, edit them, specifically the parameters below, and cron them (I personally user cron.hourly).
The scripts connect using $user and $password via json api (so the user needs API access, check that in the frontend) and creates the following graphs for all hosts linked to "WIN Disks" template.
For a detailed explanation of how the scripts work you can view the following post: http://zabbix.com/forum/showthread.php?t=26678
Download SmartMonTools from smartmontools.sourceforge.net and copy the executable to the zabbix agent installation path, renaming it to smartctl.exe if needed.
Gotchas
The template triggers thresholds like volume critical space can be edited by modifying the user macros in the template.
The following macros and their default values are included:
If you are using any other of my templates, make sure your hosts only have one active instance of the WIN Eventlog OOP item. If there is more than one, disable the extra items.
The eventlog triggers send an alert containing information on the most recent events logged. For these to show up in the alert make sure you include the following macros in the alert message:
Eventlog info: {ITEM.LASTVALUE}
If you have any issues importing this template, please upgrade to zabbix 2.0.2 (not released at the date of this post) and php 5.3 or higher.
Update 1
I can confirm that importing templates with Discovery Rules is broken in zabbix 2.0.1 and will be fixed in zabbix 2.0.2.
A partial fix for this, until zabbix 2.0.2 is released, can be achieved by SSH to your zabbix server and making the following changes to these files:
This will fix importing Discovery rules, item prototypes and trigger prototypes. Graph prototypes importing will still be broken, as they will get imported directly into the template, not in the discovery rules.
Update 2
Decreased eventlog query time to 300s.
Update 3
Fixed the scripts. Please download the archive again.

This solutions gives you complete monitoring of disks, volumes and quotas. The template uses LLD, meaning you don't have to configure any settings in the template, it automatically discovers and monitors all disks, volumes and quotas on the host.
You get monitoring for the following:
- Eventlog entries generated for disk errors, bad sectors, controller errors etc.
- Performance alerts when byte/sec and latency limits are reached
- Disk bytes/sec and latency
- Disk SMART health and temperature
- Quota free space
- Volume bytes/sec, free space and status
- Volume software raid (windows disk management) health
You also get several graphs like so:

Copy the vbs scripts to your zabbix agent folder and configure the following lines in your zabbix_agentd.conf file, replacing the path in the UserParameter with your zabbix agent installation path, restart the agent.
Code:
#system info UserParameter = system.info[*],cscript "C:\Program Files\Zabbix agent\zabbix_win_system_info.vbs" //Nologo "$1" "$2" #system discovery UserParameter = system.discovery[*],cscript "C:\Program Files\Zabbix agent\zabbix_win_system_discovery.vbs" //Nologo "$1" #disk smart UserParameter = disk.smart[*],cscript "C:\Program Files\Zabbix agent\zabbix_win_disk_smart.vbs" //Nologo "$1" "$2" #volume raid UserParameter = volume.raid[*],cscript "C:\Program Files\Zabbix agent\zabbix_win_volume_raid.vbs" //Nologo "$1" "$2" #quota UserParameter = quota[*],cscript "C:\Program Files\Zabbix agent\zabbix_win_quota.vbs" //Nologo "$1" "$2" #eventlog query UserParameter = eventlog.query[*],cscript "C:\Program Files\Zabbix agent\zabbix_win_eventlog.vbs" //Nologo "#1" "#2" # allow weird chars in userparameters arguments UnsafeUserParameters=1
Download the perl scripts to you zabbix server, edit them, specifically the parameters below, and cron them (I personally user cron.hourly).
Code:
$user = "Admin"; ### username
$password = "zabbix"; ### password
$url = "http://127.0.0.1/api_jsonrpc.php"; ### intenal zabbix url
For a detailed explanation of how the scripts work you can view the following post: http://zabbix.com/forum/showthread.php?t=26678
- WIN Disk "ALL" bytes/sec stack
- WIN Disk "ALL" latency normal
- WIN Disk "ALL" latency stack
- WIN Disk SMART "ALL" temparature
- WIN Quota "ALL" bytes free stack
- WIN Volume "ALL" bytes free stack
- WIN Volume "ALL" bytes/sec stack

Gotchas
The template triggers thresholds like volume critical space can be edited by modifying the user macros in the template.
The following macros and their default values are included:
- {$DISKBPS_CRIT} = 20MB/s disk bytes/sec total
- {$DISKBPS_HIGH} = 10MB/s
- {$DISKLATENCY_CRIT} = 80 ms/io disk latency
- {$DISKLATENCY_HIGH} = 40 ms/io
- {$QUOTA_CRIT} = 2GB quota free critical
- {$QUOTA_DEPL} = 500MB quota free depleted
- {$QUOTA_LOW} = 5GB quota free low
- {$VOLBPS_CRIT} = 20MB/s volume bytes/sec total
- {$VOLBPS_HIGH} = 10MB/s
- {$VOLFREE_CRIT} = 2GB volume free critical
- {$VOLFREE_DEPL} = 500MB volume a free depleted
- {$VOLFREE_LOW} = 5GB volume free low
