Been asked to monitor all of our Dell servers temperatures and the status of disk arrays. I performed a MIB walk and have all the OIDs needed. Having difficulty in setting up alerts when the temp reach critical and when the disk arrays fail. Are there samples for this or can someone assist?

Assuming that your source data is based on a GET TABLE universal device poller, the attached screenshot is an example of my Dell hard drive failure alert. It assumes that you have enabled the "enumeration" option in the universal device poller, with the default values, and that it's called DellPowerEdgeDiskState.
The alert email action can't specify which drive, nor what the status is, nor the serial number etc, as an alert based upon a GET TABLE poller (which it must be, if it's for a table) can only indicate that a certain value exists somewhere within a column, so for example you can know that at least one drive has failed, but not know which one, nor will you know that that perhaps several drives might have failed at the same time. The text I use in GET TABLE based alerts is like this: *** WARNING: ${Node.Site_Name}: Possible Dell PowerEdge HDD failure on ${Node.Caption} ***
Perhaps the "node status" criteria isn't required, but it's there anyway.
