Hello everyone,
I have a question on monitoring separate filesystems with different thresholds. My hobbit-clients.cfg file on the Xymon server includes the following:
(Names changed to protect the innocent of course).
$MACRO=%^(asdf|qwer|jalopy).*(a|s|h|l).xyz.com
HOST=$MACRO
DISK / 90 95 GROUP=SOMEONES_PAGER
DISK %^/.+$ 90 95 GROUP=SOMEONES_EMAIL
DISK %^/export/data/subdir/subdir2/log.* 95 99
However, Xymon doesn't seem to honor the above DISK entries and still marks both "/export/data/subdir/subdir2/log" and "/export/data/subdir/subdir2/log2" as red when it hits 90%+ due to the DEFAULT entry.
We recently migrated to Xymon from an aging Big Brother monitoring infrastructure, which had bb-dftab that had to be on all clients. From my understanding all of this is now handled on the server but the above just doesn't seem to be working.
My questions at this point are:
- Are my regular expressions specified correctly?
- Does Xymon support full extended regular expressions? (e.g. the difference between grep and egrep on Sun systems)
- Is my understanding of the above accurate with respect to alerts about file system monitoring being generated on the server?
Thanks,
Matt.
