[Xymon] xymon disk not alerting at 100%, need another set of eyes

[Scot Kreienkamp]

Hi Paul,

By alerting, I meant the test is not turning red even though the disk is full.  A poor choice of words on my part, sorry.

Have you tried doing a test on the condition?

xymond_alert --test machine.test --duration=500 |grep -v Failed

So I had another thought, I copied the class statement to another file so it's now first in the list and last in the list, and my disk test is still green.  Is the class match broken?

I'm on 4.3.27-1 from Terabithia.

Thanks!

After re-reading I can see how that may not be totally clear.  By alerting, I mean that the disk test is still green, even though a partition is at 100%full.




I found two hosts that weren't alerting on disk full condition and started digging into the problem further.  As I understand it, xymon matches the first entry from analysis config files.  So I dumped the analysis config for disks:

Client line:
[collector:]
client corpvskreienl,na,lzb,hq.linux linux

[root at monvxymon hosts.d]# /usr/libexec/xymon/xymond_client --dump-config --config=etc/analysis.cfg |grep -i ^disk

I can't find any lines above where the hostname matches, it's on page Infrastructure/Miscellaneous so none of the page statements match, so it should match on the class.  Or the very last line is the system default which should apply if nothing else.  My server is sitting at 100%full on one partition so it SHOULD be alerting.

Thanks for any help.
