Physical Disk Health Check

Where supported on the workstation, the Physical Disk Health Check determines whether any SMART (Self-Monitoring, Analysis and Reporting Technology) disks are reporting errors to the Operating System and generates an Alert where the status is recorded as anything other than OK. You can enable or disable this check for all supported disks on the workstation.

When a check is added or edited, the new settings are downloaded to the Agent the next time it communicates back to the All Devices view and they are applied when the check runs after that.
