VMWare Host Disk Failure - Hardware Health Status Still "Green"/OK ??

chadsikorra

So I'm currently monitoring all of our VMWare hosts through the vCenter polling option. Just this morning there was a local hard drive failure on one of the hosts which caused a flood of VMWare alerts to get triggered. However, SolarWinds never sent out any alerts. Additionally, if you look at the drives in SolarWinds under the current hardware health status for the drives, everything shows up as green, but if you look at the text next to the drives themselves you can see that everything is not quite normal or OK...

Has anyone else noticed this sort of issue before? I feel like this is likely a bug with it not determining the correct status of the drives?

Nevermind, I think this is partially my own misunderstanding of the monitor labels. It's telling me that it's "OK" because "Rebuild in Progress" and "Predictive Failure", etc, aren't happening for the drives at the moment. Somewhat confusing to look at anyway, and my own fault haha.

But that makes it even more confusing because when I look at the hardware status for the host in VMWare it clearly shows alerts/issues on the hardware status page for a drive. However, SolarWinds thinks everything is OK. I have tried both vCenter polling and ESX polling but I get the same results either way.
