Acronis Drive Monitor - User Guide - Manual (Page 8)

When all your disks are being monitored and no hardware problems were detected, the status icon
on the right will show OK status.
This section may also reflect a warning message in case there are disks, which are not monitored.
Click Show disks link to go to a Disks page, where you can view for more detailed information,
enable/disable monitoring and change other settings if required.
Backup
The Backup section informs you whether your data is protected with recently created backup
archives.
For the proper functioning you need a newer Acronis backup software to be installed on your
computer. In case no backup software is detected, you will be invited to Acronis web site.
Click Show backups link to go to a Backup page, where you can view for more detailed information
and change backup monitoring settings if required.
Critical events
The Critical events section displays a list of messages, reported by Windows Event Log, which are
considered critical by Acronis Drive Monitor. To customize logs displaying to your needs, you will
need to create a script - see Critical Events monitoring configuration (p. 20) article for more
information.
To view the detailed problem description, click the Show critical events link, which will take you to
the Critical events (p. 19) page.
3.2 Disks
Disk health is monitored through S.M.A.R.T. (Self-Monitoring, Analysis, and Reporting Technology)
interface. If a disk does not support S.M.A.R.T., a custom script may be used for monitoring. Click the
link below to configure monitoring options - this will lead you to the Options (p. 21) page, where you
can specify the required program behavior.
