I'm deploying Veeam Backup & Replication to perform systems. I have a few Linux hosts that require being backed up via the local agent instead of using a VM-based backup. The backups run in the middle of the night as you might expect. 2AM Sunday, I received a full filesystem alarm on a Linux host I'm testing. It cleared in the next test sweep 5 minutes later but the unnecessarily alarms woke me up. I want to minimize that from happening.
The Veeam agent creates and mounts devices under /tmp for the backup. The df line from the filesystem alarm looks like: Filesystem 1024-blocks Used Available Capacity Mounted on /dev/veeamimage7 4128448 4026052 0 100% /tmp/{16296b8b-8ad4-6614-6da9-aacdc519bd6b}
The actual filesystem name is different on each host. I assume it's based on the host's BIOS UUID or the block ID. I don't want to add individual lines for each host.
I want to add the following line to my analysis.cfg in the "CLASS=linux" section: DISK %^/tmp/\{[A-Fa-f0-9]{8}-[A-Fa-f0-9]{4}-[A-Fa-f0-9]{4}-[A-Fa-f0-9]{4}-[A-Fa-f0-9]{12}\} IGNORE
Questions: 1.) Is this regex valid for the analysis.cfg? 2.) Is there a better way to handle this?
Thanks, --Robert.
