Can HostMonitor monitor the status of physical disks? That is, underneath the OS, at the RAID controller level, can HostMonitor test to see if the disks themselves are OK? This is important as we are starting to move servers off-site, to co-location facilities.
Thanks,

Most vendors of hardware RAID devices suply SNMP agents that enables external monitoring using SNMP protocol.
You should check if your device supports SNMP and install SNMP agent on the system.
