    Monitoring S.M.A.R.T Drives with Zabbix

    I've installed the Zabbix Agent 2 and can confirm it's connecting to the Zabbix Host. I then installed smartmontools onto my Windows Server 2019. How would I read the temperatures of each drive in my server? I cannot figure this out for the life of me. I've used this article to install the agent, and I've tried to use this article for assistance with specific S.M.A.R.T monitoring details, but this doesn't make any sense to me.

    Please help!

    Hello!

    You doesn't need additional software to check S.M.A.R.T. information on Windows. You can do a WMI check with Zabbix Agent.

    You can create an monitoring item with:
    Code:
    wmi.get["root\wmi","SELECT * from MSStorageDriver_FailurePredictStatus"]
    and have your information. It's not useful to get S.M.A.R.T. specific parameters, but this WMI information comes from S.M.A.R.T. and it's enough to predict and detect drive failures.

    You can also check on Command Prompt (as Administrator):
    Code:
    wmic /namespace:\\root\wmi path MSStorageDriver_FailurePredictStatus
