[hobbit] df output incorrect only produces yellow instead of red.

[Whilding, Craig]

It wont in my case as hobbit is always under /usr/local when deployed.
It was warning on space remaining but it jumped straight from the yellow
threshold to this message in less than 5 minutes before a red status was
picked up. As its still yellow the person concerned (I can't fix this
problem as the cause is out of my department) thinks it is only warning
and low priority (I have now told him otherwise of course!).

 

Does anyone know where this warning is generated from as it appears to
be a built in check that I need to change page colour on.

 

Thanks,

Craig

Depending on how Hobbit is set up, filling the /var partition could
knock out Hobbit, too.  Much better to warn on space remaining on /var,
and then ACT.

	One of our solaris servers has had the /var partition fill up to
100%. This has had a knock on effect of somehow killing the df command.
	 
	Not although the line below is displayed and is red the actual
page has only gone yellow. 
	 
	  Expected strings (capacity and Mounted) not found in df output

	 

	 

	How do I change this so that the page goes red when I lose disk
reporting? Thanks.
