"fine grain alert" is a better term than "sublevel alert".
I only see one followup. I am interested to see this feature
to be done. I am not much a developer.so I can't help much coding wise.
Can anyone comment how diffcult is it to get this feature ?
Can this be done by external moudle approach ?
Right now, I don't have whole BB/Hobbit server architecture flowchart
in my head so I am looking for comments that knows.
Thanks for your to comment

Subject: [hobbit] "sublevel alerts" feature request

sorry to make up this name "sublevel alerts", correct me if there is a
better term you think.
What:
sublevel alerts: to be able to send out alerts to differrent owners of
different monitored disk partitions or processes.
Why:
We found it is needed to enable the owner of a process or disk partition
as the main recepient of the alerts. This way we can hold owner responsible
on using the disk partition wisely. currently BB can only send out alerts
to both unixteam and oracleteam when disk or process threshold reached.
(see example below).
Example:
[bbs ] tail bb-dftab.DIST
# ANY PARTITIONS NOT EXPLICITLY LISTED HERE WILL
# USE THE VALUES SET BY DFWARN & DFPANIC SET IN
# bbdef.sh. DEFAULTS IN bbdef.sh ARE
# WARNING AT 90% AND PANIC AT 95%
#
# You can also use values > 100 to make it always green

# If you put a process with no directives then it is
# test condition is that at least 1 process must be running
# It keeps backward compatibility

Question:
Can hobbit consider to support this feature ?
Is there work around you know for existing BB users ?
Thanks for your time
