Why TA-hwraid exists
Hardware RAID cards know a drive is dying days before it fails - the predicted-failure bit just sits unread in controller logs. TA-hwraid pulls it, plus VD state and cache-battery health, into search and alerting.
What it collects
- Drive and virtual-drive state per controller
- Predicted-failure bits
- Cache battery (BBU) health
Runs on stock tools
No daemons, no agents, no exotic collectors - it shells out to well-known CLIs or reads sysfs, and parses the result into Splunk events.
