Greetings all.
I'm getting an odd behavior surrounding Windows mounts, and I thought some of you might have some tips.
Xymon 4.3.11 over 100 hosts managed, no issues Many monitoring various disk mounts in Linux, no issues.
I'm monitoring a shared disk in Linux-land like so:
First, I've touched an empty file on the mount. This mount is n Linux:
/mnt/j/MOUNTMONITOR
analysis.cfg:
FILE /mnt/j/MOUNTMONITOR TYPE=file OWNERID=root GROUPID=nfsnobody MODE=0770 red TRACK
client-local.cfg: file:/mnt/j/MOUNTMONITOR:10240
All behaves precisely as I would expect. If I dismount /mnt/j, then Xymon alerts, and all is happy.
However, in the case of Windows, it's not so easy for some reason. I tried to mirror what I was doing in Linux on the Windows side like so:
analysis.cfg:
FILE J:/MOUNTMONITOR TYPE=file OWNERID=root GROUPID=nfsnobody MODE=0770 red TRACK
client-local.cfg
file:J:/MOUNTMONITOR:10240
If I unmap the drive, Xymon (BBWin, more appropriately) doesn't care. It just happily continues on as I would expect. Further, I can delete the empty file MOUNTMONITOR and all the linux boxes go red for that mount while the Windows boxes act as if nothing ever happened.
What is the *proper* way to monitor a file on a mounted drive in Windows, or under the BBWin client?
Thanks in advance, everyone.
