Hello everyone,</font><font size=3> <br>
</font><font size=2 face="sans-serif"><br>
I have a question on monitoring separate filesystems with different thresholds.
My hobbit-clients.cfg file on the Xymon server includes the following:</font><font size=3>
<br>
</font><font size=2 face="sans-serif"><br>
(Names changed to protect the innocent of course).</font><font size=3>
<br>
</font><font size=2 face="sans-serif"><br>
$MACRO=%^(asdf|qwer|jalopy).*(a|s|h|l).</font><a href=http://xyz.com/ target=_blank><font size=2 color=blue face="sans-serif"><u>xyz.com</u></font></a><font size=3>
</font><font size=2 face="sans-serif"><br>
HOST=$MACRO</font><font size=3> </font><font size=2 face="sans-serif"><br>
DISK / 90 95 GROUP=SOMEONES_PAGER</font><font size=3>
</font><font size=2 face="sans-serif"><br>
DISK %^/.+$ 90 95 GROUP=SOMEONES_EMAIL</font><font size=3>
</font><font size=2 face="sans-serif"><br>
DISK %^/export/data/subdir/subdir2/log.*
95 99</font><font size=3> <br>
</font><font size=2 face="sans-serif"><br>
However, Xymon doesn't seem to honor the above DISK entries and still marks
both "/export/data/subdir/subdir2/log" and "/export/data/subdir/subdir2/log2"
as red when it hits 90%+ due to the DEFAULT entry.</font><font size=3>
<br>
</font><font size=2 face="sans-serif"><br>
We recently migrated to Xymon from an aging Big Brother monitoring infrastructure,
which had bb-dftab that had to be on all clients. From my understanding
all of this is now handled on the server but the above just doesn't seem
to be working.</font><font size=3> <br>
</font><font size=2 face="sans-serif"><br>
My questions at this point are:</font><font size=3> <br>
</font><font size=2 face="sans-serif"><br>
- Are my regular expressions specified correctly?</font><font size=3>
</font><font size=2 face="sans-serif"><br>
- Does Xymon support full extended regular
expressions? (e.g. the difference between grep and egrep on Sun systems)</font><font size=3>
</font><font size=2 face="sans-serif"><br>
- Is my understanding of the above accurate
with respect to alerts about file system monitoring being generated on
the server?</font><font size=3> <br>
</font><font size=2 face="sans-serif"><br>
Thanks,</font><font size=3> </font><font size=2 face="sans-serif"><br>
