HOWTO monitored NFS
list Naudit007
Hello, I wish monitored sharing NFS on my servers like classic disks. What is the best way to monitored NFS and apply the thresholds? And how to proceed to monitored that ? When I define the share NFS on "localclient.cfg", it doesn't work. DISK /mnt/test 70 95 I have try yet "rpc=nfs" in bb-hosts, but don't have graph and alerts. Thanks, Regards -- <mailinglist.benoit - at - gmail dot com>

The linux hobbit client uses (file hobbitclient-linux.sh)
df -Pl
And from the manpages:
-l, --local
limit listing to local file systems
So remove the "l" and the hobbit client will reporting all file systems.

And may hang for a long time if the nfs server is down! try looking on http://www.deadcat.net/ for a script. I use one from there with a number of changes to fit my situation .

I highly recommend against disabling the local only df test. As Michael points out, it will hang for a long time. Not only hang but leave behind a LOT of df processes that can only be killed by rebooting the server...at least, kill -9 never works for me. This is most likely due to the fact that it is waiting on a child to finish. =G=

Why? Aren't you monitoring the NFS server? Or, do you really want alerts for 100 servers if one NFS server has low disk space? (maybe you do want it, but IMHO, it usually makes more sense to monitor the NFS shares once on the NFS server).

What if the NFS server is a NetApp or EMC box?

Not necessarily a lot of servers -- maybe you only detail one server to keep an eye on the NFS partitions?

Only if the NFS server allows you to put a monitor on it. Think *big* company and turf politics... David Masterson

I only use nfs on AIX and there you can specify on the client that even when you do a hard mount, you still can cancel the process that hangs. I don't know if this exists on linux clients .... Stef

Yes it's just to monitoring a NetApp appliance, I use currently two servers for monitore that (with df -P), and work well. But I search an other best way to monitore my nfs without have an issue type processes. I can't reboot my hobbit server...
