Disk monitoring feature request

So if people in the BB community are called brothers, does that mean the folks here are called hobbits?? With my current version of BB, I've modified the bb-disk.sh so that each filesystem in error sends a page message to the server not just the most severe (red). So in other words, if 2 filesystems are in warning (yellow) and 1 is in panic (red), I would send 3 page messages to the BB server, one for each error. The BB server would then an SNMP trap for each error in addition to any email notifications that are in place. These get handled by the SMARTS. So.... Is it possible to add this functionality to Hobbit? Thanks -Grs- Gregory R Shea EMC Corporation

Hobbit doesn't do snmp yet. Paul

Hi Paul, I'm not concerned about the SNMP trap because this could be handled via the SCRIPT function. I'm more interested in the separate error alerts. But thanks for the reply.

Guess so :-)

Not directly, it's something you'll have to build yourself. But it shouldn't be all that difficult. On the Hobbit server, setup a SCRIPT for the disk alerts. This triggers along with the e-mail alerts you may have for disk errors. Alert scripts are fed - among other things - the full status message of the alert, in the $BBALPHAMSG environment variable. So you could build a script that looked through the alert message and triggered on any "^&red" or "^&yellow" lines - there will be one for each of the filesystems that are critical. Then your script can send out the SNMP traps through some SNMP utility (Net-SNMP has a snmptrap tool to do that; there are also Perl modules for this, I'm sure). Regards, Henrik
