I am having issues monitoring the disk usage via hobbit.  It is not alerting
out when the usage goes over limits.  Here is what I have in my
hobbit-clients.cfg

        LOAD    17.0 22.0

        DISK    / 50 95

        # These are the built-in defaults.

        UP      1h

        LOAD    17.0 22.0

        DISK    / 80 95

        MEMPHYS 100 101

        MEMSWAP 75 90

        MEMACT  90 97

 
I have tried the HOST and PAGE values and still can't get anything to work.
The weird thing is LOAD, MEMORY, etc work just not DISK.  Is there a known
bug with hobbit and DISK or am I doing something wrong.

 
Thanks,

The only disk file system you're monitoring is root (/).

Try replacing your defaults with "DISK    * 90 95", adjusted to the percentages you want.

I believe I have found the issue.  I changed on my client scripts the "-l"
to a "-h" to make the readings human readable.  Well in doing that it
changed the Column names across the top of the command:

[default hobbit command]
df -Pl
Filesystem         1024-blocks      Used Available Capacity Mounted on
/dev/mapper/VolGroup00-LogVol00  32344948  23893632   6781788      78% /
/dev/sda1                99134     17731     76284      19% /boot
tmpfs                  1684900         0   1684900       0% /dev/shm

[my modification for the command]
df -Ph
Filesystem            Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/mapper/VolGroup00-LogVol00   31G   23G  6.5G  78% /
/dev/sda1              97M   18M   75M  19% /boot
tmpfs                 1.7G     0  1.7G   0% /dev/shm
gsonc-spg-snap:/OPS1  1.9T  276G  1.6T  15% /data

So what I did is changed a line in "linux.c" and recompiled hobbit.  Now it
is alarming like it should.  Might need to look into a different way for
parsing the DISK info.

Thanks,

-Josh

I don't think this is portable (the reason df -P is used is becuase it *is* portable).

Well in doing that it
changed the Column names across the top of the command:

 Might need to look into a different way for
parsing the DISK info.

But, you've probably also broken the disk1 graph (the one that contains the disk utilisation in KB, not percentage).

I don't think Henrik intended this, and it's more than a one-line patch to make it possible to use disk utilisation displayed in the human-readable form ...

But, if you prefer breaking working functionality for aesthetics, I guess that's up to you.

Maybe we could have the clients report both ways - using the "-P" option for
feeding data into the graphs, checking utilisation against the client config
and so on - and have a different command whose output is displayed on the
disk status ?

It wouldn't be difficult to implement, but my worry is that there might be
a situation where the two sets of data are slightly different (e.g. rounding
errors, or a rapidly growing file between the two measurements) and that
will be confusing.
