Monitoring /tmp usage

Ah gotcha.  Silly as it is, to include tmpfs but leave the rest of the EXCLUDE intact, I take the current

cat /proc/filesystems | grep nodev | awk '{print $2}' | xargs echo | sed -e 's! ! -x !g'

and turn it into 

cat /proc/filesystems | grep nodev | grep -v tmpfs | awk '{print $2}' | xargs echo | sed -e 's! ! -x !g'

and I seem to get the result I want.  Thanks all :)

It is possible that your problem stems from the fact that /tmp is type
"none" and that a grep looking for /dev would fail. I'm not exactly sure
what Xymon looks for, but I had to manually change some scripts
associated with BB to look for even ZFS filesystems which do not have
devices under / (or at least they don't appear to from df's POV).

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.
