Multiple disk definitions
list Vernon Everett
Hi all
Anybody had any experience trying to define multiple disk definitions.
I have a range of servers, which for whatever reason, have highly variable partition sizes.
E.g. ServerA /data1 2Tb
/data2 200mb
ServerB /data1 800gb
/data2 4Tb
/data3 20gb
Setting a blanket value of
DISK * 90 95
Will not give good results, because on a 4Tb volume, 90% is still 400Gb available, while on a 200mb volume, this is only 20mb
What I would like to do, is define a percent or absolute, based on disk size.
Is this possible?
There are many more servers, so defining them all individually will be too much work.
Cheers
Vernon

Hi Vernon, Check the man page for hobbit-clients.cfg... http://www.hswn.dk/hobbit/help/manpages/man5/hobbit-clients.cfg.5.html#lbAG You can specify disk sizes by free space by appending "U" e.g. HOST=sap-sid-sv1 DISK /oracle/SID/saparch 80 90 DISK /oracle/SID/sapdata1 10485760U 5242880U The disk for saparch is monitored by percentage, and sapdata1 warns at 10GB free and panics and 5GB free. Regards, Andy.

Yep, am doing that.
However, what I am looking for is a way to do something like this
HOST=*
DISK /data1 85 90
DISK /data1 10485760U 5242880U
And have some kind of "best-case" or "worst-case" logic.
Worst case would check both cases, and report the worst result.
Best case, does the same, but reports the best result.
I know I am probably looking for the impossible, but a man can hope :-)
Cheers
Vernon

Hi Vernon, This is not a very elegant solution but may work for you Are you able to create 2 extra pages for these hosts? 1 for large disk and 1 for small disks. You can then base the alerts for these hosts based on these 2 pages. This has the drawback of the same host being defined multiple times in bb-hosts so make sure on the new pages you use noconn and do not define any more checks. This will also increase the number of monitored servers that bbnet reports. So e.g. page REAL Monitored servers 1.2.3.4 serverA # ssh http://serverA.domain.com 3.4.5.6 serverB # ssh http://serverB.domain.com page HUGE Large disk servers 0.0.0.0 serverA # noconn page SMALL Small disk servers 0.0.0.0 serverB # noconn Now you can define in hobbit-clients.cfg PAGE=HUGE DISK /data1 10485760U 5242880U PAGE=SMALL DISK /data1 85 90 Cheers Iain

Anyone have a Devmon template for Brocade 3900 switch they would be willing to share? I tried going the route of configuring receiving traps via snmptt method but I cannot find a Brocade mib anywhere that has the OID numeric mappings, so snmptranslate cannot do much with it. If no template available out there, I do have the document with all the OID to variable mappings, so I will create one myself, and submit to Devmon folks if they are interested. Thanks Doug

Currently looking for MDS9000 fibre channel switch devmon-how to monitor specific switch port errors.
