Hi all,
Was hoping someone could help me understand how these definitions in
hobbit-clients.cfg:
DISK %^/a IGNORE
DISK %^/a/.* IGNORE
...excluded these filesystems in the disk test:
njmsa/AppArchive 10G 8.2G 1.8G 83% /AppArchive
/dev/md/dsk/d101 1.9G 1.3G 631M 68% /apps_marcy
/dev/md/dsk/d103 1.9G 1.3G 476M 74% /apps
What I'm trying to exclude are filesystems /a and /a/* (like /a/var,
/a/usr, etc.).
Hopefully someone's regex-fu is superior to mine. Thanks in advance!
For /a, you can try:
DISK %^/a$ IGNORE
Also try to install txt2reg. This is a command line utility to build up
regular expressions.
I had since tried that and it didn't work, so I commented the whole set
out. When you wrote this, I added it back in that way and it appears to
work now at least, so thanks. :)
Incidentally, I discovered in the docs why it matched /AppArchive:
Note that Xymon defaults to case-insensitive pattern matching; if that
is not what you want, put "(?-i)" between the "%" and the regular
expression to turn this off. E.g. "%(?-i)HTTPD" will match the word
HTTPD only when it is upper-case.
...it actually only mentions this when talking about the process list
and the logfile scanner, but I'm going to assume it applies for all
regular expressions in that file.
