Hello all,
I am currently working on a way to monitor volumes going missing on Windows servers.
We had an issue with a Windows server VM twice that disks went offline and Zabbix did not send out an alert in any way.
To avoid not getting any alert on such an event, I wanted to create something in Zabbix.
Now I wanted to get this done with e.g. vfs.file.exists[E:\,dir] and a trigger on that item.
Problem is, that this check does return 1 when the drive exists, but becomes unsupported when the drive does not exist - which means the trigger does not work.
Is there anything I am doing wrong with this check?
Or is there another way to have Zabbix send out an alert, when a disk or volume suddenly disappears?
I am glad for any hints on this.
