Creating a Trigger for disk failure

[flydude25]

So from what I gather(I am open to correction) that Zabbix does not have alerts for disk failure, only for storage utilization. I had an idea to use Windows event log and tie a trigger to Event id 52 to detect when a disk is failing. In need of direction and help! Most appreciated!

So I imported the template to get any changes that may have been made and I do not see the triggers. I even tried to import them manually and i get an expression error

remember to check if smartctl identifies your disk and collects data.

cmd> smartctl.exe --scan
cmd> smartctl.exe -A /dev/.. ***add as per previous step --scan

if it does not collect data, then even with the template and plugin configured correctly, you will not have data/trigger in zabbix.
