The SoftRAID Monitor is always watching for disk and volume errors. When it sees one, it changes the color of the indicator in the menu bar and puts up a dialog to get your attention. It also writes an entry in the SoftRAID log file so you can go back later and see what happened.

When the SoftRAID Monitor indicator changes from blue to yellow or red, you should investigate the cause immediately. Launch the SoftRAID application and you will immediately see which disk is causing the problem.
