I'm betting this is my issue.

Moving it around, now, to see if that helps.

The usual screwup is having your config options showing up after the DEFAULT section. DEFAULT must be last as it will catch everything else.

I have a host for which I'd like to ignore 27 filesystems...they're all at 97-100% full, and we expect them to be at that level...as such, there's no reason for Xymon to be alarming on them.

Reading the analysis man page, I've tried a number of options to try to get this set of filesystems ignored, to no avail.

The hostname of the system is "edmprod" and the filesystems are /da01 thru /da27.

The stanza I've tried to use is:

HOST=%edmprod.*

   DISK %^\/da* IGNORE

I've also tried:

HOST=edmprod

   DISK %^\/da* IGNORE

The difference between your method and IGNORE is that IGNORE will hide the FS' altogether. This method shows them but never turns red.

Hi, Mike !

I think you can use in analysis.cfg

DISK %^/da.* 101 101

Tim's method worked...although I took it a step further, and changed both brackets to [0-9] (i.e. [0-9][0-9]) in order to cover future filesystem additions in that vein.

I also took the suggestion of 101 101 instead of IGNORE. If my boss decides he doesn't want to see them in the list or the graphs for them, I'll change it to IGNORE, but for now, I think I like the idea of having them displayed.

Thanks, all...very much appreciated.

I don't think that would work, you would need something like:

HOST=edmprod

    DISK    %^/(da[0-1][0-9]|da2[0-7]) IGNORE 

    DISK    * 95 98

I'm not sure about the IGNORE or the 101 102 methods...

Also....

The hostname of the system is "edmprod" and the filesystems are

/da01 thru /da27.

The stanza I've tried to use is:

 

       DISK %^\/da* IGNORE

I think this would need to be: DISK %^\/da.* IGNORE

Otherwise, you are matching 0 or more of the letter a, while you really want 1 or more of any character (well, really digit) DISK %^\/da[0-9]+ IGNORE

PS, all the above is untested, and just based on normal regular expressions, plus any possible typo etc...

Yes, I always specify host names in analysis.cfg and alerts.cfg with a leading caret and trailing $. It prevents a lot of unintentional matches, since Xymon seems to put .* before and after the names before trying to match them.

Thanks, Larry Barber

Adam is correct. I was not putting much thought into the range, more just that a caret and unescaped leading slash was required for Mike's issue. Also, I would not use .*, based on a practice of only matching what you need, when you know what it is. In this case it was known to be 01->27, and I borked that simple match :)

Besides placing these above the DEFAULT stanaza I see alot of mishaps when using the regex identifier % without the start of the line caret ^.
