monitor a directory size
I am trying to use the DIR in hobbit-client.cfg, but not having any luck. Does anyone use this?
Xymon server- hobbit-client.cfg
Syntax that I used:
DIR /var/adm yellow SIZE>10m track
Client- localclient.cfg
DIR /var/adm
Any suggestions?

Try putting the word yellow after the SIZE>10m.

You need to reverse SIZE>10m to SIZE<10m if wanting to alert if greater than 10m.

I don't understand exactly what you mean, but you need to add it both to client-local.cfg and to hobbit-clients.cfg. Both these files are located on the Xymon server. Client-local.cfg tells the client to send information about that directory to the Xymon server, and hobbit-clients.cfg tells the server what to alert on in that information.

You've have to add
dir:du -k /var/adm
in your client-local.cfg ...
then you've got hte size of your directory https://it-xymon3.desy.de/xymon/help/manpages/man5/client-local.cfg.5.html

When I read that man-page, I understand it as du is always run on the directory that is specified in dir:DIRECTORYNAME
So you should only add this to the correct host in client-local.cfg. dir:/var/adm
From the man-page: "A directory monitoring entry is used to watch the size of a directory and any sub-directories. It looks like this:
dir:DIRECTORYNAMEThe dir:DIRECTORYNAME line defines the filename of the file to monitor. As with the "log:" entries, a filename enclosed in backticks means a command which will generate the filenames dynamically. The Xymon client will run the du(1) command with the directoryname as parameter, and send the output back to the Xymon server."

This is the line from hobbit-clients.cfg that works: DIR /u01/app/oracle/diag/tnslsnr/stmmdb2/listener/alert/RED SIZE<20100100100 TRACK
I don't have a corresponding client-local.cfg due to our environment

You need to reverse SIZE>10m to SIZE<10m if wanting to alert if greater than 10m.

Try putting the word yellow after the SIZE>10m.

*I think* there is something in the man page or on the mailing list (i forget where) that said that if you use the DIR directive, it uses du and you have to specify the size in bytes, so 10m wont work in this case. Check the mailing list archives about this.. there is some help out there. HTH

When I read that man-page, I understand it as du is always run on the directory that is specified in dir:DIRECTORYNAME
So you should only add this to the correct host in client-local.cfg. dir:/var/adm
From the man-page: "A directory monitoring entry is used to watch the size of a directory and any sub-directories. It looks like this:
dir:DIRECTORYNAME
The dir:DIRECTORYNAME line defines the filename of the file to monitor. As with the "log:" entries, a filename enclosed in backticks means a command which will generate the filenames dynamically. The Xymon client will run the du(1) command with the directoryname as parameter, and send the output back to the Xymon server."

I finally got it to work with the following
In hobbit-clients.cfg HOST=testserver DIR /var/adm SIZE<1g yellow track
In client-local.cfg [testserver] dir:/var/adm
Now the files column shows up yellow when /var/adm grows over 1g in size and also graphs.
Thanks to those who helped!

Try instead of 10m to 10240 w/o the m at the end. I also do not have the track directive on the end of mine line and its working here. Did you also define the directory in your clients-local.cfg file? HTH.
