Ok...I fixed this by adding '-x tmpfs -x devtmpfs' to the df command. Definitely something you may want to consider. It was cluttering up my disk graphs badly (especially on systems that had lots of users logged in).

Thanks for the explanation on the vmstat point...I feel much better now, I hadn't actually noticed the differences in the timestamps until you pointed it out.
The FQDN was the issue with my missing tests. They show up now. Now I just need the df command to ignore tmpfs paths an I think I'll be good.

Hey,
While I'm questioning things, I noticed that there are 3 vmstat calls run on the server every 5 minutes instead of the 1 that I would expect...Anyone else seeing that behavior?
I'm running the Terabithia RPM (yes, I know there is a new release about to come out) on Centos 7.
This is actually normal. It's a side effect of the fact that those RPMs fire the client off every 100s instead of every 5m. Although vmstat (and anything launched the same way) is collecting info for the previous 5m, it's doing it once for each client execution that occurs during that time (3x). You end up with a rolling 5m average than a discrete 5m block when $interval != $collectionperiod.
I'm also not getting the disk column and most of the other local tests
that I've come to expect, either (memory, cpu, files, etc).
FQDN issue possible here as well?
