To monitor the disk health on a Dell R720 server, you can use the following methods:

1. Integrated Dell Remote Access Controller (iDRAC): This is a built-in management controller that allows you to monitor the health of the disks in your Dell R720 server. You can access the iDRAC web interface and check the "Storage" section for disk health status.
2. OpenManage Server Administrator (OMSA): This is a software tool that allows you to monitor the health of your Dell R720 server and its components, including the disks. You can install OMSA on your server and use the web interface to check disk health status.
3. Operating system tools: Most operating systems have tools that allow you to monitor disk health. For example, on Windows servers, you can use the "Disk Management" tool to check disk status, while on Linux servers, you can use "smartctl" to check the Self-Monitoring, Analysis, and Reporting Technology (SMART) status of the disks.

I use the iDRAC with the "Dell iDRAC SNMP" template. My servers are more recent that your R720s, but hopefully it will give you what you need.
