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

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.

Try instead of 10m to 10240 w/o the m at the end. I also do not have the track directive on the end of mine line and its working here. Did you also define the directory in your clients-local.cfg file? HTH.

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."

*I think* there is something in the man page or on the mailing list (i forget where) that said that if you use the DIR directive, it uses du and you have to specify the size in bytes, so 10m wont work in this case. Check the mailing list archives about this.. there is some help out there. HTH Tony

I finally got it to work with the following In hobbit-clients.cfg HOST=testserver DIR /var/adm SIZE<1g yellow track In client-local.cfg [testserver] dir:/var/adm Now the files column shows up yellow when /var/adm grows over 1g in size and also graphs. Thanks to those who helped!
