RAID monitoring

I have emailed them and asked if they had anything to monitor the RAID 
array in a FreeBSD environment and they replied telling me that "they 
are not sure if Free BSD 5.4 will work with the Global array Manager or 
not "  I did not come out and ask them to write me a driver.

The Global Array Manager software that they have works with SCO Unix, 
Linux and Solaris...not to mention windoze.

I was thinking about the and I think I may be able to get away with a 
script to parse syslog OR maybe I can configure syslog to send an email 
if I get a disk failure message sent to syslogd.  Does anyone do 
something like this?
