JC,
    Would we be able to see the GROUP= when running the xymond_client --dump-config?
I need to send out emails to different groups and I was trying to use the GROUP= and it's not
working.  I posted this about a week ago and got no hits.

Hi everyone,

I recently upgraded from 4.3.21 to the Terabithia RPM's for 4.3.27.  I
copied this config file verbatim (except for server name) from my old
server to my new server:


HOST=innocent.in.hq
        PORT "LOCAL=%([.:]80)$" MIN=1  TRACK=WWW "TEXT=80-WWW"
        PORT "LOCAL=%([.:]55000)$" MIN=0 color=red TRACK=RPC_Clients
"TEXT=55000-RPC Client Access Sessions"
        SVC MSExchangeADTopology status=started
        SVC MSExchangeIS status=started
        SVC MSExchangeMailboxAssistants status=started
        SVC MSExchangeRPC status=started
        SVC MSExchangeSA status=started
        DISK J 15728640U 10485760U
        DISK L 15728640U 10485760U
        DISK M 15728640U 10485760U
        DISK N 15728640U 10485760U
        DISK S 15728640U 10485760U
        DISK T 15728640U 10485760U
        DISK %^(1|2|3|4|5|6|7|8|9|0).* IGNORE


However, the disk tests are now alerting on 95% full disk instead of on 10
gigs remaining space:
M (95% used) has reached the PANIC level (95%)

To further troubleshoot I commented out all the disk lines and added this
entry:
DISK * 15728640U 10485760U

That didn't make any difference, the disk is still alerting for 95% full.
It is parsing and applying the configuration because the port and SVC
information is showing up in the web, so I can't understand why the disk
test isn't working.


This is a key feature for us as we have many servers with multi-terabyte
drives, so alerting at percentages doesn't work nearly as well.  The
client has not been touched, only the server.

Anyone have any ideas?
Some possibilities:

Did you wait for xymond_client to reload analysis.cfg after the change?
Alternatively, did you remove/reorder the DISK sections or comment them
out in place? It's possible the catchall entry wasn't applied and what was
actually alerting was the default DISK section.

Can you run xymond_client --dump-config after the change to see what's
happening?
