Feature request: metric: disk - add thresholds in MB
For DISK test now we have only - "thresholds are percentages - they trigger when the filesystem has filled up to the percentage you specify."
But on some disks 5% free is 5G and in some 30G - and sending warning whenwe have 30GB free is not always relevant. I know - it is possible to increase percentages by individual sessings for each host, but I think - checking not only percentage, but also free space in MB/GB
- is not big deal and can be added to basic functionality.
I use the same approach for testing used/free in Oracle DB tablespaces - and I know this more usefull then just percentage..
This can be done as extra parameters - in this case BOTH - percantage AND MB criteria should be checked or as existing params (2nd, 3d) with -MB/GB - will be treated as size and XyMon will check only MB free.
Best regards,

Use the 'units' form, e.g.:
DISK /bigdisk 300000U 100000U
Only checks the number of blocks, but at least you can do that.
