[Xymon] xymon not warning

sure,

but for a fast check how many GB are available if the disk becomes yellow
it is much more useful to have human readeable output.
I cannot see why this

df -hlP /home
Filesystem      Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/xvda2       25G  7.0G   17G  31% /

behaves differently then this

df -lP /home
Filesystem     1024-blocks    Used Available Capacity Mounted on
/dev/xvda2        25412940 7260876  16854504      31% /

as field NF-1 is the same. And the usage graphs are also not affected.

You can actually check for free space on volume instead of percentage.  I
do this for really large volumes since multi-terabyte disks still have
plenty of space when at 95% :-).  I expect that is why the -h arg won't
work since the parser in Xymon expects a certain format.  For example:

DISK /archive/courses 52428800U 10485760U

(IIRC, those are in KB...check the man page) to turn yellow when 50 GB
remains and red when 10 GB left on device.

  Ah yes,

  i also recently stumbled over this. Took me some time to find out what is
  the root cause (as always this mailing list helped).
  But i wonder why the disk alerting does not work anymore if i change df
  -Pl to df -hPl, if the disk usage percentage is not affected (by syntax
  or output field).
  (Btw: the inode alerting is not affected by the "h" switch).

  I really would like to get this fixed, as for our normally huge disks it
  is hard to check how much space is available by a normal df...

  I completely forgot about that. I changed bin/xymon client-linux.sh More
  then a year ago to human readable pages. I change dit back and yes it
  works. To bad that i have to change it.

  Hello,

  could this be anything related to the “form” of the reporting of the
  sizes of the filesystems? …and the result of calculating to the
  gigabytes / terabytes as in your example?

  On “my” systems the sizes are reported in bytes, not in megabytes,
  gigabytes, terabytes or whatever:

  Just a thought…

  Regards
  Christian

  It is always green
  Even if one is 100%
  Analysis settings are:
  DISK * 80 97 #YELLOW LOW FOR TESTING

  91% /mnt/node2

  Is the status green or yellow? If green, check your analysis.cfg will
  match this host and limits configured appropriately. If yellow, check the
  info page for this host to see what alerting you have, and configure
  alerting in alerts.cfg if needed. If configured OK, check the
  notifications report.

  Kind regards,

  SebA

  Isn’t /mnt ignored in analysis.cfg?

  Hello list,

  Xymon is sending warnings from other servers but it does not warn if /mnt
  is getting filled
  (yellow level is 90%)

  Eny idees why this is ignored?
