James -

There is a bb-disk_by_fs.sh on www.deadcat.com which can replace the bb-disk.sh in the Big Brother client. I took that as a starting point and made some modifications for our shop. It has been a godsend since we had the same problem.

If you want my version so you can compare to the deadcat one I would be happy to send it to you.

Does hobbit allow you to send disk space alerts to different people. For example if I have a data base machine, the sys admins would get the O/S type alerts, the DBA's get the database filesystem alerts, and the WEB

developers would get the WEB filesystem alerts. This was always my big wish list from BB.

In the current version, Hobbit behaves like BB in that respect.

I have some ideas and the beginnings of some code that would allow you to do this, by filtering status-messages on the Hobbit server before they are processed by the normal daemon. My idea was that since the RRD graph module is already parsing a lot of the data, it wouldn't be terribly difficult to match the data fed into the RRD files against some thresholds, and trigger an alert e.g. if utilisation of a single disk goes above some threshold.
