I have a recently installed xymon for testing and have added only a couple hosts, one of which I have also setup devmon. This one hosts seems to ignore the defaults set for disk alerts in server/etc/hobbit-client.cfg. I am running xymon 4.3.0 beta 2.

I currently have (in hobbit-client.cfg - the only active rules): DEFAULT # These are the built-in defaults. UP 1h LOAD 5.0 10.0 DISK * 32 64 MEMPHYS 100 101 MEMSWAP 50 80 MEMACT 90 95

I have set the disk alerts very low for testing purposes. The two clients that I refer to are both win2k servers and xymon/devmon are running on ubuntu server 8. I have one server with panic alerts as its disk usage is higher then 64% - this is expected. I have another host in which I have also setup devmon but I have NOT setup disk monitoring under devmon for this host. This host reports only a yellow alert and one of its disks is 88% used. I found this anomaly when this servers disk was just over 90% and the default was 90/95. I set the alert to be higher 97/99 but the yellow alert was still there. After cleaning up some space on the disk and bringing it below the 90% mark I expected the yellow to go away but that hasn't happened either.

Does devmon negate bbwin? Is there some additional settings that I need in hobbit-client.cfg to allow for something that devmon is doing?

Thanks,

John
