Hi
I want to find out if the following is possible:
A server that is monitored, has 15 filesystems, all of them need to be
monitored,
but the customer isn't interested in the state of / or /var, but only in
the production filesystems.
How can I create a metrics report of only 3 of the 15 filesystems that is
being monitored on the box?
Would I need to create a separate monitoring group for these?
I usually don't use the metrics report, as it hides too many of the features available in the CGI scripts. For example, if you want a graph of a specific filesystem (by name), you can modify the service=paramater to contain disk:<path>, where <path> is the mount point, but with each '/' replaced with ',' e.g.:
http://hobbit/hobbit-
cgi/hobbitgraph.sh?host=myhost.mydomain.com&service=disk:,opt&graph_width=576&graph_height=120&disp=myhost.mydomain.com&nostale&color=green&action=menu
This would give you a graph with any filesystems mounted on a directory matching /opt*
To see the graphs I want, I often just click the graphs on the status pages, and then start editing the URL (to add hosts on tests that support multi-host graphs etc.).
