Henrik, Can you say if / when the ability to change the "disk status based on free KB" feature will be included in Hobbit?

That would be useful. In these days of multi TB disk arrays, alerting
on percentage is becoming less than useful (as at even 99% there can
still be a lot of disk space left).

I just finished coding this, so ... now :-) Regards, Henrik

Hi Henrik, That is great, I can now look to rolling hobbit into production - I'll wait for the pukka 4.2 release though. What is the syntax for using the new feature - I couldn't find it documented? Keep up the good work. Regards, Chris

It's in the hobbit-clients.cfg man-page: If the utilization of "filesystem" is reported to exceed "warnlevel" or "paniclevel", the "disk" status will go yellow or red, respectively. "warnlevel" and "paniclevel" are either the percentage used, or the space available as reported by the local "df" command on the host. For the latter type of check, the "warnlevel" must be followed by the letter "U", e.g. "1024U". It will simply compare the number reported as "free space" in the df output with the number in the DISK config. That neatly sidesteps any issues of what metric df is using - mega, giga or kilobytes; it doesn't matter since we're just comparing numbers. Henrik

Henrik, Thanks for that, I looked at the web version of the man page which hasn't been updated and in the hobbit-clients.cfg which doesn't mention it either. I see this has changed for file min/max size reporting but unlike the documentation doesn't seem to default to KB but to bytes now!!
