Hi!

We have just started using Xymon/Hobbit and netapp.pl to monitor two Netapps, and have set the quota monitoring limits like this in netapp.ini:

/vol/s50/saa4Q = 10G:101%

thinking (after reading the comments in netapp.ini) that this would give a warning when there is 10G of free disk space (and a red alarm if it ever reaches 101%)

But we get alarms like this:

/vol/s50/saa4 (5.2G free - 2.60%) has reached the defined WARNING level (10G)

while the actual data are:

Full Qtree Path Total Used Available %Used Vol/Qtree /vol/s50/saa4 200.0G 5.2G 194.8G 3% s50/saa4

So the script obviously takes the 10G warning limit as a limit of disk usage, not available space.

This seems to be contrary to the explanation in netapp.pl: "

NEW [filername] parameters for netapp.pl version 1.05

/vol/vol0D = warn:panic # Warning/Panic level for disk

space /vol/vol0

/vol/vol0I = warn:panic # Warning/Panic level for inode

usage /vol/vol0

/vol/vol0/.snapshotS = warn:panic # Warning/Panic level for

snapshot /vol/vol0/.snapshot

/vol/vol0/qtree1Q = warn:panic # Warning/Panic level for qtree

/vol/vol0/qtree1

All those parameters will accept 2 parameters separated by ":".

The first is the warning level (yellow) and the second the panic level (red)

Each of them can be in the 2 form:

a) a percentage like 95% or 57.43% that is checked against the

volume percent used space/inode

b) an absolute value like 200 or 200000 that can be followed by a

modifier (k,m,g,t)

that is checked against the free space/inode on the volume

You can mix the 2 form in the same check so for example:

/vol/vol0D = 95.50%:5G

"

Any ideas if there is an easy fix for this?
