Hi all,
Was hoping someone could help me understand how these definitions in hobbit-clients.cfg:
DISK %^/a IGNORE DISK %^/a/.* IGNORE
...excluded these filesystems in the disk test:
njmsa/AppArchive 10G 8.2G 1.8G 83% /AppArchive /dev/md/dsk/d101 1.9G 1.3G 631M 68% /apps_marcy /dev/md/dsk/d103 1.9G 1.3G 476M 74% /apps
What I'm trying to exclude are filesystems /a and /a/* (like /a/var, /a/usr, etc.).
Hopefully someone's regex-fu is superior to mine. Thanks in advance! For /a, you can try: DISK %^/a$ IGNORE
Also try to install txt2reg. This is a command line utility to build up regular expressions.
I had since tried that and it didn't work, so I commented the whole set out. When you wrote this, I added it back in that way and it appears to work now at least, so thanks. :)
Incidentally, I discovered in the docs why it matched /AppArchive:
Note that Xymon defaults to case-insensitive pattern matching; if that is not what you want, put "(?-i)" between the "%" and the regular expression to turn this off. E.g. "%(?-i)HTTPD" will match the word HTTPD only when it is upper-case.
...it actually only mentions this when talking about the process list and the logfile scanner, but I'm going to assume it applies for all regular expressions in that file.
