WinRaidMonitor

WinRaidMonitor is a Java-based application designed to monitor the health of RAID (Redundant Array of Inexpensive Disks). It's capable of sending notifications via email when the disk becomes unhealthy.

The tool can only be controlled from the command-line interface since it doesn't have a GUI. The complete syntax is WinRaidMonitor [-a] [-d] -f -h -l [-m ] [-o ] [-p ] [-s] -t [-u ] [-w ].

By default, WinRaidMonitor sends emails only when the disk becomes unhealthy. However, it can be forced to send messages even when it's healthy (-a). It's possible to specify the sender address (-f ), SMTP destination host (-h ) and port (-p, , default is 25), together with the receiver address (-t ) and drive letter of the mirror whose status has to be checked (-l ).

The app is not capable of monitoring the status of multiple mirrors at once. To fix this issue, it's possible to launch multiple instances of the application and configure settings for multiple monitored mirrors.

Additional options focus on specifying an alternate target to the mirror on non-EN systems (-m ), setting the diskpart OK status for healthy mirrors on non-EN systems (-o ), and entering a username and password for SMTH authentication if required (-u and -w ). The software application supports SMTP connection encryption via SSL.
