Whether a parameter is for a yellow or red alerts depends on it's position in the "DISK" line. The 'U' simply means to use the units that are reported in the test results rather the percentage used.

I don't think you can combine these like you want, and don't really understand why you would want to, after all, if you know the size of the disk you can easily convert between used percentage and amount free. You just need to set your DISK line to use the more restrictive of the two parameters.

Thanks,
Larry Barber

All -

A couple of questions re: the analysis.cfg file and its syntax for the "DISK" test:
*         The "U" suffix for warning / panic thresholds refers to *minimum* values for free-space available on the indicated file system, correct? In other words, the amount of free space has to fall below the indicated number of KB, right?
*         What we want is to alert when a combination of thresholds are in effect: the file systems are both (a) above a certain percent full, and (b) less than a certain amount of free space (in blocks, megs, whatever). How would I combine the two types of tests?

Thanks!
