Can I monitor DirtyBitSet via WMI with PRTG?

We assume you would like to monitor the VolumeDirty counter which indicates whether Windows suggests to run chkdsk.

Please use a WMI Custom sensor with your own WQL query.

Please find more details about the Win32_LogicalDisk Class here: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa394173%28v=VS.85%29.aspx

Then, I must generate a new sensor for every drive on every server. o-o

To easily add a specific WMI Custom sensor to you existing devices, you can follow these steps:

1. On a new device, create the new WMI Custom sensor.
2. Create a Device Template. This template now only contains your WMI Custom sensor.
3. Show a device list (menu Devices | Device List) with all of your devices you want to add this sensor to and use multi-edit to change these devices' settings all at once: In the Sensor Management section, select Automatic sensor creation using specific device template(s) and select the device template you created above. Save your settings.
4. Back in the device tree, right-click your devices, or the group they are part of, and select Run Auto-Discovery from the context menu. During this process, the new sensor will be added to each device.

Unlike WQL (WMI Custom String sensor), PowerShell is run directly on the probe device, so a parameter %host should be set in the sensor settings. Here's the PowerShell 'Custom EXE' script for overall remote system status:

Param([string] $Hostname='localhost') $Query = Get-WmiObject -ComputerName $Hostname -Query "SELECT DeviceID,VolumeDirty FROM Win32_LogicalDisk WHERE DriveType=3 and VolumeDirty=true" | measure write-host $Query.count:OK It returns a counter of dirty drives, and values above 0 limit should be treated as errors.
