[Xymon] Using "IGNORE" to exclude filesystems

The usual screwup is having your config options showing up after the DEFAULT section. DEFAULT must be last as it will catch everything else.

Do you have a “genric” alert that is set? It could be the one flagging the disks…

Something like

HOST=edm*

     DISK * 90

I have a host for which I’d like to ignore 27 filesystems…they’re all at 97-100% full, and we expect them to be at that level…as such, there’s no reason for Xymon to be alarming on them.

Reading the analysis man page, I’ve tried a number of options to try to get this set of filesystems ignored, to no avail.

The hostname of the system is “edmprod” and the filesystems are /da01 thru /da27.

The stanza I’ve tried to use is:

HOST=%edmprod.*

   DISK %^\/da* IGNORE

I’ve also tried:

HOST=edmprod

   DISK %^\/da* IGNORE

And

HOST=edmprod

   DISK /da01 IGNORE

   DISK /da02 IGNORE

   DISK /da03 IGNORE

   DISK /da04 IGNORE

   DISK /da05 IGNORE

   DISK /da06 IGNORE

   DISK /da07 IGNORE

   DISK /da08 IGNORE

   DISK /da09 IGNORE

   DISK /da10 IGNORE

   DISK /da11 IGNORE

   DISK /da12 IGNORE

   DISK /da13 IGNORE

   DISK /da14 IGNORE

   DISK /da15 IGNORE

   DISK /da16 IGNORE

   DISK /da17 IGNORE

   DISK /da18 IGNORE

   DISK /da19 IGNORE

   DISK /da20 IGNORE

   DISK /da21 IGNORE

   DISK /da22 IGNORE

   DISK /da23 IGNORE

   DISK /da24 IGNORE

   DISK /da25 IGNORE

   DISK /da26 IGNORE

   DISK /da27 IGNORE

I’d love to know what I’m doing wrong, here, if anyone is so inclined to assist me.
