"However, Xymon doesn't seem to honor the above DISK entries and still marks both "/export/data/subdir/subdir2/log" and "/export/data/subdir/subdir2/log2" as red when it hits 90%+ due to the DEFAULT entry."
Is the DEFAULT entry above or below this? Xymon stops at the first match.
You might try hard coding something instead of using the fancy $MACRO just to separate the problems of "is my DISK statement right" from "is my fancy $MACRO right".

Hello everyone,
I have a question on monitoring separate filesystems with different thresholds. My hobbit-clients.cfg file on the Xymon server includes the following:
(Names changed to protect the innocent of course).
$MACRO=%^(asdf|qwer|jalopy).*(a|s|h|l).xyz.com HOST=$MACRO DISK / 90 95 GROUP=SOMEONES_PAGER DISK %^/.+$ 90 95 GROUP=SOMEONES_EMAIL DISK %^/export/data/subdir/subdir2/log.* 95 99
However, Xymon doesn't seem to honor the above DISK entries and still marks both "/export/data/subdir/subdir2/log" and "/export/data/subdir/subdir2/log2" as red when it hits 90%+ due to the DEFAULT entry.
We recently migrated to Xymon from an aging Big Brother monitoring infrastructure, which had bb-dftab that had to be on all clients. From my understanding all of this is now handled on the server but the above just doesn't seem to be working.
My questions at this point are:
- Are my regular expressions specified correctly? - Does Xymon support full extended regular expressions? (e.g. thedifference between grep and egrep on Sun systems) - Is my understanding of the above accurate with respect to alerts about file system monitoring being generated on the server?
Thanks, Matt.
