RAID Monitoring with SNMP
The health of a RAID array can be monitored using the Gaia SNMP monitoring daemon. SNMP traps can be set to fire once an OID value is in breach of a configurable threshold.
The raidInfo MIB branch is 1.3.6.1.4.1.2620.1.6.7.7. The information it contains is detailed below.
Data is available in the form of two SNMP tables:
