My solution was to change DF=”df –k” in bbsys.local to DF=”df –k –P” for POSIX mode.<BR>
<BR>
Try that and see if it helps?<BR>

<BR>
I am seeking help determining why we recently received only some alerts that were configured on a given server.<BR>
<BR>
<BR>
<BR>
In my hobbit-clients.cfg file I have multiple sections of relevance:<BR>
<BR>
#######################################################<BR>
# generic checks for all WebLogic Servers<BR>
#######################################################<BR>
HOST= applesauce,gravy,enchilada,chips<BR>
DISK * 95 97<BR>
PROC dsmcad 1 -1 yellow<BR>
FILE "%/wls_domains/.*/jrockit..*.dump" NOEXIST red<BR>
#######################################################<BR>
# specific checks for applesauce<BR>
#######################################################<BR>
HOST=applesauce<BR>
LOG /var/log/messages "%(?-i)SERIOUS_CRITICAL" COLOR=yellow<BR>
PROC "weblogic.Name=" 3 3 red TEXT=TOTAL_WEBLOGIC_PROCESSES<BR>
PROC "weblogic.Name=prod_alsb_01" 1 1 red TEXT=PROD_ALSB_01<BR>
PROC "weblogic.Name=prod_ccs_wli_01" 1 1 red TEXT=PROD_CCS_WLI_01<BR>
PROC "weblogic.Name=prod_ccs_aldsp_01" 1 1 red TEXT=PROD_CCS_ALDSP_01<BR>
<BR>
<BR>
So, a couple of questions:<BR>

I cleaned up a bunch of log files, and restarted the process and all was good… BUT… Why didn’t I receive the alert that the DISK was more than 97% full. I checked the history for the disk usage, and it had been over 95% for at least 6 hours prior to the process going down. Also, the check for the “jrockit” file did not kick off when that file was create (after the filesystem was at 100%) I need to determine why we weren’t warned on the disk space issue before our production application came down.<BR>

I assume that’s an issue, but I’m not sure why we got some expected alerts and not others. Also, I updated this entry in the bb-hosts file to the correct IP, and cycled the hobbit server, but I am still not receiving the alert on the jrockit file, which is still out there.<BR>
<BR>
Any help is appreciated. I’m relatively new to Hobbit, so its completely within the realm of possibility that I don’t have any of this set up correctly. Please feel free to correct me on anything that looks out of whack.<BR>
