Using "IGNORE" to exclude filesystems

17 messages in this thread

list Mike Burger · Thu, 8 Nov 2012 17:07:53 -0500 ·

I have a host for which I'd like to ignore 27 filesystems...they're all
at 97-100% full, and we expect them to be at that level...as such,
there's no reason for Xymon to be alarming on them.

 
Reading the analysis man page, I've tried a number of options to try to
get this set of filesystems ignored, to no avail.

 
The hostname of the system is "edmprod" and the filesystems are /da01
thru /da27.

 
The stanza I've tried to use is:

 
HOST=%edmprod.*

       DISK %^\/da* IGNORE

 
I've also tried:

 
HOST=edmprod

       DISK %^\/da* IGNORE

 
And

 
HOST=edmprod

       DISK /da01 IGNORE

       DISK /da02 IGNORE

       DISK /da03 IGNORE

       DISK /da04 IGNORE

Do you have a "genric" alert that is set? It could be the one flagging the disks...

Something like

HOST=edm*
         DISK * 90

The usual screwup is having your config options showing up after the
DEFAULT section. DEFAULT must be last as it will catch everything else.

You can yank out the () and the someotherpattern.  It was a lazy cut-n-edit post from a working config.  Also, like Ryan already said - customizations always preceed the DEFAULT stanza in the config.

Good Luck.

Subject: [Xymon] Using "IGNORE" to exclude filesystems

I have a host for which I’d like to ignore 27 filesystems…they’re all at 97-100% full, and we expect them to be at that level…as such, there’s no reason for Xymon to be alarming on them.

Reading the analysis man page, I’ve tried a number of options to try to get this set of filesystems ignored, to no avail.

The hostname of the system is “edmprod” and the filesystems are /da01 thru /da27.

The stanza I’ve tried to use is:

HOST=%edmprod.*
       DISK %^\/da* IGNORE

I’ve also tried:

HOST=edmprod
       DISK %^\/da* IGNORE

And

HOST=edmprod
       DISK /da01 IGNORE
       DISK /da02 IGNORE
       DISK /da03 IGNORE
       DISK /da04 IGNORE

The difference between your method and IGNORE is that IGNORE will hide the FS' altogether. This method shows them but never turns red.

Tim's method worked...although I took it a step further, and changed
both brackets to [0-9] (i.e. [0-9][0-9]) in order to cover future
filesystem additions in that vein.

 
I also took the suggestion of 101 101 instead of IGNORE. If my boss
decides he doesn't want to see them in the list or the graphs for them,
I'll change it to IGNORE, but for now, I think I like the idea of having
them displayed.

 
Thanks, all...very much appreciated.

Adam is correct.  I was not putting much thought into the range, more just that a caret and unescaped leading slash was required for Mike's issue.  Also, I would not use .*, based on a practice of only matching what you need, when you know what it is.  In this case it was known to be 01->27, and I borked that simple match :)

Besides placing these above the DEFAULT stanaza I see alot of mishaps when using the regex identifier % without the start of the line caret ^.

I don't think that would work, you would need something like:
HOST=edmprod
        DISK    %^/(da[0-1][0-9]|da2[0-7]) IGNORE
        DISK    * 95 98

Yes, I always specify host names in analysis.cfg and alerts.cfg with a
leading caret and trailing $. It prevents a lot of unintentional matches,
since Xymon seems to put .* before and after the names before trying to
match them.

Thanks,
Larry Barber

That's not Xymon adding the ".*" before and after - that's how a regex
works.
