Hello,
Looking at past list e-mails, it is my understanding that the NORRDDISKS setting in xymonserver.cfg allows for PCRE regular expressions. Is this correct? Or does it only allow certain PCRE regular expressions, but not everything?
I ask because I'm experiencing an issue with my NORRDDISKS setting.
I'd like to ignore disks for graphing that have mount points "/tmp", but not ignore disks with mount points that have "tmp" in them, like "/tmpscratch".
I noticed that for other disk mount point names that if you just use "^/<name>" with no modifiers, then it only ignores disk mount points with only exactly "^/<name>" and not "^/<name><additional text>" or "^/<name>/<more name>" (at least from what I can tell).
For example when using:
NORRDDISKS="^/dev|^/tmp|^/var"
It ignores disks with mount points "/dev" and "/var", but also "/tmp" AND "/tmpscratch". But it doesn't look like it ignores "/var/tmp" (at least as far as I can tell).
I tried using "^/tmp$" and that didn't work either (still ignored both names).
Any idea what's going on here? Or how this can be done correctly? Is the "$" metacharacter not allowed in this setting?
If it's needed, I'm running the latest 4.3.26-1 Terabithia RPM on RHEL 7.
Thanks for any help!!
