So we have a few partitions on one of our systems.
One particular partition goes up to 99-100% at times which is normal.  We do
not want to get alerts for this partition.
We are only concerned about the others.
How can I set xymon/hobbit to ignore certain partitions from being checked
and/or alerted on?

TIA.

Here is an example.  Make sure that your specific entries are listed prior to the final stanza of Default.


HOST=somehost
        DISK    %^/(ph[12]ti|nefs0[2-9]|e2fs1[12]) IGNORE 
        DISK    * 95 98

This one is also the $SERVER_HOME/etc/hobbit-clients.cfg

It's documented inside that file.  Search for "IGNORE" in all caps.

Another way is this
HOST=myhost
     DISK   /my/really/full/volume 101 101
     DISK   *     85 90

This makes it only alert on 101% for that volume, which it will never reach.
This has the advantage that tt will still graph and trend the volume, but
you can expect no alerts.
Whereas IGNORE will do just that. It's as if the volume doesn't exist. No
graphs, not trends, no visibility.
