Precisely. The "df" data does not have info about /tmp, so you need
to look at the Xymon client script running on the server to have
it report data for non-physical filesystems. Look at the
~xymon/client/bin/xymonclient-OSNAME.sh script (or "hobbit" ditto).
By default, non-physical filesystems are excluded.
