K Raid Monitor adds a green button to your kicker, indicating the normal functioning of your raid array.
The K Raid Monitor software is a useful application that creates a button in your kicker, which changes color based on the condition of your raid array. If everything is functioning properly, the button will display a green color. However, if a disk fails, the button will turn red to alert you of the issue.
Despite its usefulness, there are a few shortcomings to be aware of when using this software. Firstly, it can only monitor one raid array at a time. Additionally, the software has only been tested for RAID1 arrays consisting of two discs.
To install the K Raid Monitor software, simply right-click on the kicker and select "add applet." From here, you can scroll to the "kraidmonitor" applet and select it to begin monitoring your raid array.
To specify which raid array you want to monitor, copy the ".kraidmonitor" file to your home directory and modify the file to set your preferred device. It's worth noting that this release only allows for monitoring of one device at a time.
In terms of requirements, the K Raid Monitor software is compatible with KDE 3.x.
The latest release of the software includes support for monitoring any number of raid arrays, which is a major improvement. However, it still only autodetects the first found raid device. Overall, the K Raid Monitor software is a useful tool that can help you stay on top of your raid array's performance.
