Hi,
Running Xymon 4.3.0-0.beta2, I sometimes gets false red alerts from
disk on a few servers (One of the servers is the xymon server itself).
Usually disk status is reported green, as this:
Wed Jun 10 16:29:17 CEST 2009 - Filesystems OK
Filesystem 1024-blocks Used Available Capacity Mounted on
/dev/sda1 204603376 1616748 192593380 1% /
But occasionally, I get red alerts, like this:
- Filesystems NOT ok
red 192593256 1% / (1616872% used) has reached the PANIC level (95%)
Filesystem 1024-blocks
Use] Available Capacity Mounted on
/dev/sda1 204603376 1616872 192593256 1% /
Somehow the parsing of the client data doesn't work right, resulting
the disk blocks being interpreted as percent used.
The corresponding df part in the actual client report looks like this:
[df]
Filesystem 1024-blocks Used Available Capacity Mounted on
/dev/sda1 204603376 1616872 192593256 1% /
On another server, the false red alert looks like this:
Wed Jun 10 15:51:53 CEST 2009 - Filesystems NOT ok
red 44% / (2778580% used) has reached the PANIC level (95%)
red 6% /home (2167204% used) has reached the PANIC level (95%)
Filesystem 1
24-]locks Used Available Capacity Mounted on
/dev/xvda2 5162828 2121988 2778580 44% /
/dev/xvda3 24
7244 ] 136744 2167204 6% /home
While it usually looks like this:
Wed Jun 10 15:56:54 CEST 2009 - Filesystems OK
Filesystem 1024-blocks Used Available Capacity Mounted on
/dev/xvda2 5162828 2122012 2778556 44% /
/dev/xvda3 2427244 136784 2167164 6% /home
Slightly different, but once again, blocks used being interpreted as
percentage used.
Anyone has an idea of what might be causing this?
Thanks,
Patrik Nilsson
