We have a custom built Debain OS server with this raid card.
Is there anything we can do from the OS side to monitor the raid virtual disks? A few weeks ago we had a raid degrade and did not know about it until a reboot.

This is a consumer oriented adapter card, and should not be used in professional systems.
I doubt there is any monitoring solution available for this.
I recommend that you get a proper server RAID adapter, or use Linux software RAID instead.

That card has a Marvell 88SE9230 chipset.
I don't know which driver gets loaded in your kernel but you may be lucky and have compatibility with the Marvell support in smartctl. Then you can script something based around smartctl -a -d marvell /dev/sda to monitor drive status in your array.
