The application has no user interface, it simply emails the alerts as and when they occur. The current version checks for the available space, SMART variables described below and Hard drive errors caught from Windows Event log. This basically includes all accurate ways of predicting server failure due to hard drive problems.
The hard drive monitor has been built with .Net 2.0 for Pulse engineers and is currently monitoring 100s of critical web servers.
The latest version features SMART Hard drive monitoring features as well!
Name of the server for the alert email subject. Keep this as descriptive as possible. E.g. Exchange box on 2nd floor
Choose the dives to be monitored from the list of drives the software found on your computer. Avoid removable drives to ensure you don’t get false errors when the drive is removed.
This is the alert threshold, if the amount of space reduces to the selected percentage the software will send you an alert.
Email address of alert recipient. This must be a valid email address that will receive alerts.
Carbon copy, alternate email address that should receive the alerts.
Blind carbon copy, alternate email address that should receive the alerts.
Address of SMTP Server through which the Disk Alert email will be sent. This is usually the domains email server e.g. mail.yourcompanyname.com
This is the SMTP authentication, usually your email address.
This is the email address password, this would not be sent out. It will only be used to send you a secure email.
Select values from Hour and Minute drop down list to set the time when the Disk Alert utility checks your drives daily. E.g. Value in Hour drop list is “12” and Minute drop down “10”, the application will monitor the hard drives at 12:10 pm.
This can be used to test email settings. The test alert will be sent to the primary and all copy email addresses.
This will save the configuration you just created and request a restart of the service so the settings can be applied immediately.
