Greetings,
Welcome to StarWind Forum.
Are you looking for checking HA device health?
You can find the scripts at C:\Program Files\StarWind Software\StarWind\StarWindX\Samples\powershell.
You can use enumDevicesTargets.ps1 and SyncHADeviceAdvanced.ps1 to enlist targets and check HA device synchronization status respectively.
Please note that those are sample scripts; the latter can be run only for 1 device. With some changes, you can fit those scripts to your needs.
Let me know if you have additional questions.

Greetings,
This implies that both sync and heartbeat channels are down.
Can you ping these IP addresses? Normally, if you see that sign you should try disabling jumbos on your NICs, check the driver, and firmware versions. There might be a faulty NIC too. First, try pinging.

yes, the channels are down.

At this point, there is no way to get that in PowerShell using the existing scripts.
You are always welcome to develop your own script though using the parts of the existing ones.

you mean that there is enough commands in the supplied scripts which can help us do that ?

No, currently, there is no such a ready script and I am not sure if there are the commands that enable checking StarWind VSAN links' health status.
Regular ping -t here should be enough I guess; if there is an interruption or delay, the alert has to be generated.

I have just realized that you can set up notifications for these events in application logs
