Did a test on a Linux (Ubuntu 16 on a Supermicro SYS-6017R-73HDP+) machine to see if we could get an alert when a HDD fails.

The machine isn’t using any RAID , just a plain mount of a partition to a mount point.

I have configured IPMI in Observium to.

The test (a bit brutal..) was to just remove the HDD when the server was ON.

I did not see anything in Observium about the missing drive.

What can I do so I can set up an alert checker notifying me about a failed drive?

Will the unix_agent give me more info on this?
