An update:

This was an apt-managed package named "xymon" (4.3.25) for Ubuntu.

I just compiled and installed Xymon 4.3.27; it exhibits the same behavior, so this strongly looks like I'm doing something wrong in the xymon configs.

Thanks,

These are the built-in defaults. You should only modify these

I do indeed; just double-checked.

Hi Chris, You do have your entries above the DEFAULT entry so that you match your entry first, right? Dennis

I'm new to Xymon, have set up my first client monitoring config, and haven't gotten per-host filesystem thresholds to work for that host yet. In /etc/xymon/analysis.cfg, I've got these lines:

HOST=my.hosts.fqdn DISK /disk/data 96 98

But my 95% filesystem-full condition continues to come up as a red alert. I've played with a few different syntaxes, wildcards, and other config files. This looks to me like the right way to do it... Feels like I'm overlooking something really basic here. Thanks,

What is in hosts.cfg? Is it 'fqdn.of.my.monitored.host' or is it just 'host'? Try

HOST=%host DISK /disk/data 96 98
