[hobbit] DISK test: only monitor specific filesystems

Thanks for the test command.  That does help.  I do see some changes
taking effect, but I am still not getting what I wanted though.  I put
the following lines in my hobbit-clients.cfg file.

HOST=www-test2
	DISK	/boot 85 90
	DISK	* IGNORE

When I ran bbcmd hobbitd_client --test I got the following output.

   
[root at 050halpnode2 bin]# ./bbcmd hobbitd_client --test
2007-07-12 10:36:43 Using default environment file
/mnt/hobbit/server/etc/hobbitserver.cfg
Hostname (.=end, ?=dump, !=reload) []: www-test2
Test (cpu, mem, disk, proc): disk
Filesystem: /
Yellow at 0K, red at 95%
Hostname (.=end, ?=dump, !=reload) [www-test2]:
Test (cpu, mem, disk, proc): disk
Filesystem: /boot
Yellow at 92%, red at 97%
Hostname (.=end, ?=dump, !=reload) [www-test2]:


Shouldn't it say / is ignored instead of Yellow at OK, red 95%? I guess
I should also state that I am running hobbit 4.2-alfa-20060423.  I am
seeing this behavior because I'm running an alfa ver and need to
upgrade?

Thanks for any help or advice you can provide.

hobbitd_client should reload this file every 10 minutes, if there are
any changes to it. You can also do a "kill -HUP PID" with the process-ID
of the hobbitd_client process to force a reload.

But try the "--test" mode first. Like this:

$ bbcmd hobbitd_client --test
Hostname (.=end, ?=dump, !=reload) []: myhost Hosttype []:
Test (cpu, mem, disk, proc, log, port): disk
Filesystem: /
Yellow at 85%, red at 90%
Hostname (.=end, ?=dump, !=reload) [myhost]:
Test (cpu, mem, disk, proc, log, port): disk
Filesystem: /backup
Ignored

This is with the following config:

	DISK    / 85 90
	DISK    * IGNORE


Regards,
Henrik
