<font size="-1">*I think* there is something in the man page or on the
mailing list (i forget where) that said that if you use the DIR
directive, it uses du and you have to specify the size in bytes, so 10m
wont work in this case. Check the mailing list archives about this..
there is some help out there. HTH<br>

So you should only add this to the correct host in client-local.cfg.

"A directory monitoring entry is used to watch the size of a directory

<br>
dir:DIRECTORYNAME

<br>
The dir:DIRECTORYNAME line defines the filename of the file to monitor.
As with the "log:" entries, a filename enclosed in backticks means a
command which will generate the filenames dynamically. The Xymon client
will run the du(1) command with the directoryname as parameter, and
send the output back to the Xymon server."

You've have to add

<br>
dir:`du -k /var/adm`
<br>
<br>
in your client-local.cfg ...
<br>
<br>

client-local.cfg and to hobbit-clients.cfg. Both these files are

what

Xymon server- hobbit-client.cfg

Syntax that I used:

<br>
DIR /var/adm yellow SIZE>10m track

Client- localclient.cfg

DIR /var/adm

Any suggestions?

Try putting the word yellow after the SIZE>10m.
