monitor a directory size

This is the line from hobbit-clients.cfg that works:
  DIR /u01/app/oracle/diag/tnslsnr/stmmdb2/listener/alert/RED
SIZE<20100100100 TRACK

I don't have a corresponding client-local.cfg due to our environment

When I read that man-page, I understand it as du is always run on the
directory that is specified in dir:DIRECTORYNAME

So you should only add this to the correct host in client-local.cfg.
dir:/var/adm


From the man-page:
"A directory monitoring entry is used to watch the size of a directory and
any sub-directories. It looks like this:


   dir:DIRECTORYNAME

The dir:DIRECTORYNAME line defines the filename of the file to monitor. As
with the "log:" entries, a filename enclosed in backticks means a command
which will generate the filenames dynamically. The Xymon client will run the
du(1) command with the directoryname as parameter, and send the output back
to the Xymon server."

You've have to add

dir:`du -k /var/adm`

in your client-local.cfg ...

then you've got hte size of your directory

I don't understand exactly what you mean, but you need to add it both
to
client-local.cfg and to hobbit-clients.cfg. Both these files are located
on the

Xymon server. Client-local.cfg tells the client to send information about
that
directory to the Xymon server, and hobbit-clients.cfg tells the server
what
to alert on in that information.

I did add it to client-local.cfg on the client server, is
client-local.cfg a
different
file?

Have you added it to client-local.cfg as well?

You need to reverse  SIZE>10m to SIZE<10m  if wanting to alert if
greater
than
10m.

   I am trying to use the DIR in hobbit-client.cfg, but not having
any luck. Does anyone use this?


   Xymon server- hobbit-client.cfg

   Syntax that I used:

   DIR         /var/adm  yellow SIZE>10m track


   Client- localclient.cfg

   DIR /var/adm


   Any suggestions?


Try putting the word yellow after the SIZE>10m.
