SNMP/Windows disk usage

[mark.potter at academy.com]

Melanie,

I have setup the plugin available here: 
http://nagios.manubulon.com/snmp_storage.html and it works perfectly for 
our needs. It uses SNMP so you would have to have SNMP setup on all of 
your Windows boxes but with that caveat it is the best solution I have 
found for monitoring windows partitions. If you are looking for something 
slightly less complicated or with fewer options there are many plugins on 
nagiosexchange.com that will do the job. I would recommend 
check_snmp_storage though due to the options and the robustness of the 
plugin.

Best Regards,
