RE: [hobbit] Disk space alerts

James -

There is a bb-disk_by_fs.sh on www.deadcat.com which can replace the
bb-disk.sh in the Big Brother client.  I took that as a starting point
and made some modifications for our shop.  It has been a godsend since
we had the same problem.

If you want my version so you can compare to the deadcat one I would be
happy to send it to you.

In the current version, Hobbit behaves like BB in that respect.  

I have some ideas and the beginnings of some code that would allow you
to do this, by filtering status-messages on the Hobbit server before
they are processed by the normal daemon. My idea was that since the
RRD graph module is already parsing a lot of the data, it wouldn't be
terribly difficult to match the data fed into the RRD files against
some thresholds, and trigger an alert e.g. if utilisation of a single
disk goes above some threshold.
