With IPHost Network Monitor you can run WMI Status monitoring of various devices in your network.
To create a WMI monitor for Status, provide host name (it must be a Windows host) and specify custom WQL query:
The Status property is a string indicating the current status of the object. Various operational and non-operational statuses can be defined. Operational statuses are "OK", "Degraded" and "Pred Fail". "Pred Fail" indicates that an element may be functioning properly but predicting a failure in the near future. An example is a SMART-enabled hard drive. Non-operational statuses can also be specified. These are "Error", "Starting", "Stopping" and "Service". The latter, "Service", could apply during mirror-resilvering of a disk, reload of a user permissions list, or other administrative work. Not all such work is on-line, yet the managed element is neither "OK" nor in one of the other states.
The Win32_MappedLogicalDisk class represents a network storage devices that are mapped as logical disks on the computer system. The instances returned for this class will be as follows. If user A is enumerating the instances, then the provider will look for a logon session of user A on that machine. If there is one (and only one) such logon session, then the provider will return the mapped drives of that session. If there is more than one session that user A has on the machine, then no mapped drive instances will be returned (since the provider has no reasonable way of deciding which session to use). If there are no sessions of user A running, and there is a locally logged on user B, then the provider will impersonate A and return the mapped drives of user B. This case supports the scenario of helpdesk wanting to see the instances of a locally logged on user. Again, if there is more than one session of user B running on the machine, then the provider has no way of deciding which to use. In this case no mapped drive instances will be returned.
