Hi there,

Create "boot_partition.wql" on the corresponding probe under "C:\Program Files (x86)\PRTG Network Monitor\Custom Sensors\WMI WQL scripts\" and save the following query in the ".wql" file:

Select Caption FROM Win32_Volume WHERE BootVolume=True

Afterwards add a new WMI Custom String sensor and choose the "boot_partition.wql" script.

This script will display the boot partition in the sensor message. If you expect a certain partition (such as "E:\") as the boot partition, then enter "E" into the "Response Must Include" field in the sensor settings.


Best regards.
