How about we just add it as a configurable option in hobbit-clients.cfg?

HOST=foo
     DISK_MET=gb    (or 512 or mb or gb)
     DISK * 95 98
DEFAULT
     DISK_MET=kb

Something like that. That way in a mixed environment you can specify
what metric the df output is in. ?

Sorry for sending an empty mail..

Solaris version of "df" has a flag "-b" to report back the number of bytes
available on the slice. Is this what is required?

Configuring a limit of "yellow at 2 GB free" requires that Hobbit can
interpret the absolute values reported by the client, not just the
relative amount of free space. I don't know if there's a good way of
doing that, except to embed (more) knowledge about the various df's
into Hobbit. And I'm not terribly keen on doing that.

mmmm.... can you put a configuration line for this?
hda_blocks=1024 (or 512)....
The clients appear to be configured to report in Kb, so is it not better
to
have something that will work at the Kb value with a caveat that if the
Admin changes the output of the df command, then the resultant check
limits
will no longer be valid.
