This plugin will report what hard drives in the range A: - Z: exist on a Windows machine. This plugin uses NSClient++ to gather the information.
The plugin will use check_nrpe (by default) or check_nt (if specified) to query the Windows machine. This plugin was created to be able to get a list of drives in Windows without requiring an additional script to be deployed on the Windows server. As long as NSClient++ is configured to respond to performance counter checks then this plugin will work.
The plugin simply queries the "LogicalDisk(DRIVE LETTER)Free Megabytes" performance counter object for all drive letters in the range A: - Z: and if it doesn't get a valid response back it assumes that disk does not exist.
The plugin will return an OK state unless there is some sort of a problem and then it will simply return an UNKNOWN state.
The check_nrpe and check_nt binary locations are defined at the top of this pluging, adjust them as required.
NSClient++ NRPE config file will require the following options enabled:
v0.3.x
[NRPE]
allow_arguments=1
allow_nasty_meta_chars=1

v0.4.x Onwards
[/settings/NRPE/server]
allow nasty characters = 1
allow arguments = 1

Usage:
box293_drive_inventory_windows.sh [host] [type] [port] [secret]

[host] is a required argument, the IP address or DNS name of the Windows machine you want to query.

[type] is which type of performance counter check you want to query. By default it uses "check_pdh" which exists in NSClient++ 0.4.x onwards. If you have an older version of NSClient++ then you can use "CheckCounter" instead.
If you don't have NRPE enabled on NSClient++ then you can force it to use "check_nt" however this method should be avoided.

[port] allows you define the port used. Port 5666 is used for NRPE and port 12489 is user for check_nt.

[secret] only applies to check_nt and if you want to use a secret you MUST also provide the port argument.
