Hi Larry... Thanks for the reply (moving your reply to the list)
Sure I could, but this looks like something where I will not be the only one affected, so I figured I'd report it and see if there was either
- A correct way in analisys.cfg that I was just missing somehow
or
- Have it 'fixed' in the default (eg: in the release version) rather than me making a one-off fix to some internal variables
Having said that, it looks like your solution will probably immediately fix my problem and I will take a look at it as soon as I have a few minutes late today or tomorrow.
Thanks

Could you insert a "grep -v rootfs" in the 'df' section of xymonclient-linus.sh?

On a Gentoo Linux system, after a recent baselayout update to openrc 2.x (at least I believe that to be the culprit) xymon clients are now reporting back TWO "/" (root) filesystems, and xymon v4.3.4 is reporting and graphing them both like so:
Tue Sep 13 13:16:58 EDT 2011 - Filesystems NOT ok
(yellow) / (92% used) has reached the WARNING level (90%) (yellow) / (92% used) has reached the WARNING level (90%)
Filesystem 1024-blocks Used Available Capacity Mounted on rootfs 96571704 88758608 7813096 92% / /dev/root 96571704 88758608 7813096 92% /
In analyze.cfg I have tried to ignore rootfs and then the regular expression versions just in case xymon matched the whole line reported, and not just the info in the "Mounted on" column:
HOST=hostname.domain.tld DISK rootfs IGNORE
or
HOST=hostname.domain.tld DISK %rootfs IGNORE
or
HOST=hostname.domain.tld DISK %^rootfs IGNORE
or
HOST=hostname.domain.tld DISK /dev/root IGNORE
but these of course will not work since the docs for analyze.cfg say that the DISK test works on the MOUNT POINT, not the device, or partition.
Is there any way to ignore ONE of the two disk reports that are essentially the same exact thing, only reported in two different formats?
Also, as a side note/suggestion, the docs might be a bit ambiguous/confusing with regards to "filesystem" and "mount point", using them semi-interchangeably which can be needlessly confusing:
DISK filesystem warnlevel paniclevel
DISK filesystem IGNORE
If the utilization of "filesystem" is reported to exceed "warnlevel"
Then filesystem is described as...
"filesystem" is the mount-point where the filesystem is mounted, e.g.
Perhaps that could be more clear if the test was defined like so:
DISK mountpoint warnlevel paniclevel
DISK mountpoint IGNORE
Then, there would be no need for the "filesystem is the mount point..." line since it would be self-evident
Thanks!
