[Xymon] Using "IGNORE" to exclude filesystems

[Tim McCloskey]

You can yank out the () and the someotherpattern.  It was a lazy cut-n-edit post from a working config.  Also, like Ryan already said - customizations always preceed the DEFAULT stanza in the config.

Good Luck.

Hmm...I can definitely give that a try.

I have a host for which I’d like to ignore 27 filesystems…they’re all at 97-100% full, and we expect them to be at that level…as such, there’s no reason for Xymon to be alarming on them.

Reading the analysis man page, I’ve tried a number of options to try to get this set of filesystems ignored, to no avail.

The hostname of the system is “edmprod” and the filesystems are /da01 thru /da27.

The stanza I’ve tried to use is:

HOST=%edmprod.*
       DISK %^\/da* IGNORE

I’ve also tried:

HOST=edmprod
       DISK %^\/da* IGNORE

And

HOST=edmprod
       DISK /da01 IGNORE
       DISK /da02 IGNORE
       DISK /da03 IGNORE
       DISK /da04 IGNORE
       DISK /da05 IGNORE
       DISK /da06 IGNORE
       DISK /da07 IGNORE
       DISK /da08 IGNORE
       DISK /da09 IGNORE
       DISK /da10 IGNORE
       DISK /da11 IGNORE
       DISK /da12 IGNORE
       DISK /da13 IGNORE
       DISK /da14 IGNORE
       DISK /da15 IGNORE
       DISK /da16 IGNORE
       DISK /da17 IGNORE
       DISK /da18 IGNORE
       DISK /da19 IGNORE
       DISK /da20 IGNORE
       DISK /da21 IGNORE
       DISK /da22 IGNORE
       DISK /da23 IGNORE
       DISK /da24 IGNORE
       DISK /da25 IGNORE
       DISK /da26 IGNORE
       DISK /da27 IGNORE

I’d love to know what I’m doing wrong, here, if anyone is so inclined to assist me.
