Hi all,
I've got my clients setup for local config and am having problems with some commands in the localclient.cfg files.
I am trying to ignore certain filesystems and have the line "DISK %^/media.*/ IGNORE" setup to ignore any portable hardware. This is identical to the example given in Xymon's man pages, except "oracle" has been changed to "media". However, this doesn't seem to do anything at all, it's as if Xymon is ignoring this configuration option. Other configuration options set in my client's localclient.cfg do work as expected, so it can't be a problem with xymon reading the localclient.cfg file.
Anything to help me figure out what on earth is going on would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers,
Calum
Hi,
For a weird reason, I had to escape the first "/" to have it working. So I recommend to try:
DISK %^\/media.* IGNORE

Hi All,
Thanks for getting back to me Damien, unfortunately I still have these issues despite following your advice and trying to escape the forward slashes. My problem still persists both when I configure the analysis on the clients or the server.
Is xymon able to log line skips in analysis.cfg due to syntax errors etc? Would the debug option for xymond_client log this?
Cheers, Calum

Hi,
Try putting the entry in double-quotes. For some of our servers we have used:
DISK "%^/run/user/" IGNORE INODE "%^/run/user/" IGNORE
(We ignore these as they are tmpfs.)
So in your case:
DISK "%^/media" IGNORE
and a similar INODE entry if you want to.
John.
