Xymon 4.3.7 doesn't seem to report on partitions created/mounted on ZFS.
Here's some sample output from df:

Is there a recommended way to set up support for ZFS? I'm not looking for anything elaborate; simple reporting of free space as is the default for other FS types would be fine for my needs.

It does in Solaris. You may need to go take the code of out of the script in Solaris and put it in your machine's script.

Also seems to work OK on FreeBSD. The pool shows up on the graphs as a separate device which should probably be excluded rather than doubling up. This means that xymon doesn't have anything against zfs in other environments.
Maybe the disk type needs to be included somewhere on your system?

I sent the below message a few days ago, but sent it to Ryan rather than the list. I'd really like to see if there's a "more righter" way to do this than the somewhat hackish response below.

Thanks for the tip! It appears that this line is the culprit:
EXCLUDES=cat /proc/filesystems | grep nodev | awk '{print $2}' | xargs echo | sed -e 's! ! -x !g';
It produces a bunch of "-x $filetype -x $filetype..." output used as an exclusion for the df command. The output of this line includes "-x zfs" in the output. Sadly, zfs is marked "nodev" because it isn't mounted on a normal block device! So a quick hack is to change to
EXCLUDES=cat /proc/filesystems | grep nodev | grep -v zfs | awk '{print $2}' | xargs echo | sed -e 's! ! -x !g';
This is by no means a good idea. Better suggestions? Perhaps it would be a good idea to add a whitelist or something?
Thanks. Ben
I actually don't think that's the worst solution.

I'd love to see this working out of the box on FreeBSD as well...

Whoops, my apologies. It does seem to graph it strangely on FreeBSD; I wasn't aware this was expected behavior. I was hoping it would do a better job of being able to determine the true amount of free space.

It is my understanding that the newer Xymon clients for Solaris report on zfs. What operating system and client are you running?
I use an old BB client to report to my Xymon servers. By modifying 'etc/bbsys.local' on the client, I was able to make it report zfs information. I modified the definition of 'DF' to include zfs. DF="( /bin/df -F zfs -kl ; /bin/df -F tmpfs -kl )"
[ By digging through the email archives, I determined that the lack of reporting for zfs dated back to 1999 when this DF definition was introduced. The DF was introduced to provide better reporting of information for swap. At that time, zfs didn't exist, so there was no reason to consider how the improvement to swap-reporting might affect it. ]
