Wildcards in hobbit-clients.cfg 🔗 link

Hello,
 
We have archive logs that get attached as external storage.
These filesystems get filled causing alerts. We would like
to disable them.
 
I normally set the thresholds to 101 & 102 in the hobbit-clients.cfg
file to ignore alerts on these 

types of filesystems.
 
However, the problem is that these are mounted with
diffrenet names. Example:  disk_archive_Sep08, disk_arch_Oct08
 
Is there a way to use Wildcards in hobbit-clients.cfg?
 
DISK  disk_archive_????? 101 102
 
Thanks.....James

Hi James,
I haven't gotten that far yet.  I am doing the initial install on an AIX

These are the commands I've issued:

MAKE=gmake ./configure --client
gmake
gmake install    .... this is were I get the permissions error on

I never had a problem compiling the hobbit client and server on AIX.  Are 
you 
doing this as root ?

DISK  disk_archive_????? 101 102

See http://www.hswn.dk/hobbit/help/manpages/man5/hobbit-clients.cfg.5.html

% is for regular expressions.  So in your case:
DISK  %disk_archive_* 101 102

Sorry,
I just changed the hobbit-clients.cfg file  and it still didn't work... I
don't see anything mounted for disk_archive...

DEFAULT
        # These are the built-in defaults.
        UP      1h
        LOAD    5.0 10.0
        #DISK    * 90 95
        DISK    * 101 102

I have a precompiled client if you want:

Just extract the tar file and you have everything you need.

Thank you so much.... Does this client also work with AIX 6.1? Or will I
need to re-configure on those servers?
