All -
I have a file system on a host which is alarming "red" even though the file system is brand new / empty. In the notes below, the mis-reporting filesystem is "/ora_data_estdmprd"
The stanza in analysis.cfg that covers it is:
HOST=pwdu008 # Stand-alone prod DB hosts: won't have shared FS's
DISK /ora_bin 85 95 # 85%/95% = CRQ000000013038
DISK /ora_data 85 95 # 85%/95% = CRQ000000013038
DISK /ora_admin 85 95 # 85%/95% = CRQ000000013038
DISK /ora_temp 85 95 # 85%/95% = CRQ000000013038
DISK /ora_redoa 85 95 # 85%/95% = CRQ000000013038
DISK /ora_redob 85 95 # 85%/95% = CRQ000000013038
DISK /ora_arch 85 95 # 85%/95% = CRQ000000013038
DISK /ora_data_finprod1 85 95 # 85%/95% = CRQ000000013038
DISK /ora_finbin 85 95 # 85%/95% = CRQ000000013038
DISK %/ora_data_perpr 85 95 # 85%/95% = CRQ000000013038
DISK %/ora_ 262144000U 209715200U # I.e. Yellow: <= 256GB; Red <= 204.8GB
The output from the "Disk" detail page for that host was:
status pwdu008.disk yellow Tue Jan 31 14:06:20 CST 2017 - Filesystems NOT ok
&red /ora_data_estdmprd (3045500329 units free) has reached the CRITICAL level (209715200 units)

In the report above, we see that the "critical" threshold (in KB on Solaris) is 209,715,200 free space (about 256 GB), but the actual free space for that file system is 3,045,500,329 (around 3 TB). Something is clearly not right!
Also, note the file system second-from-the bottom: /ora_data_dmstgprd. It has _even more_ free space and should be triggered by the same rule in analysis.cfg (DISK %/ora_ ...) yet it is not flagged as having a problem. As a stop-gap to keep the filesystem from alarming, I've had to change the "DISK" rule in analysis.cfg to percentages (85 95) which makes everything go green.
Particulars: Xymon v. 4.3.3 running on Solaris 10 host. (Have also tried restarting the server without impact.)
Any thoughts?
Thanks!
