ActiveXperts Network Monitor uses WMI Class Win32_DiskDrive to retrieve the status of a disk.
The Win32_DiskDrive WMI class represents a physical disk drive as seen by a computer running the Windows operating system.
Any interface to a Windows physical disk drive is a descendent (or member) of this class.
The features of the disk drive seen through this object correspond to the logical and management characteristics of the drive.
In some cases, this may not reflect the actual physical characteristics of the device.
Any object based on another logical device would not be a member of this class.
The result of the Disk Drives check is determined by the 'Status' property of the object.
If desired, you can easily extend the Disk Drive check and inspect other properties of the class.
The 'Status' property is the most important property. Other relevant properties are:
- Availability;
- ErrorDescription;
- ErrorMethodology.
A Disk Drives check takes the following parameters:
- Server - the NetBIOS name, DNS name or the IP address of the server you want to monitor;
- Credentials - if alternate credentials are required to access the remote server, select an alternate account here.
