Hello,

I have recently inherited a sizable Hobbit environment so please have patience with my general ignorance of all things Hobbit. Our Hobbit works really well except for one notable exception and I can't figure out why. We have a series of boxes that run an application and for some reason these systems will not monitor the /opt file system and alert us when /opt goes over 90% even though these boxes have the same Hobbit setup like the others on the server side and the client side.

The only difference I can see is that the /opt file system is mapped differently on these systems. Most systems use something like

/dev/sda5 120G 82G 73% /opt

But the problem systems use

/dev/mapper/sysvg-opt 120G 82G 32G 73% /opt

Also the file systems from these problem servers show up differently as well. The standard file system mounts are displayed without an issues but the LVM maps display the mount point but nothing else

/dev/mapper/sysvg-opt /dev/mapper/sysvg-var /dev/cciss/c0d0p1 2016016 216060 1697544 12% / /dev/cciss/c0d0p2 3020172 950024 1916728 34% /usr

The problem servers also have the follow error in the client side log

Mon Dec 11 15:53:21 2006 bb-local.sh /opt/Big_Brother/bb/bin/bb-disk.sh: line 180: test: : integer expression expected Mon Dec 11 15:58:21 2006 bb-local.sh /opt/Big_Brother/bb/bin/bb-disk.sh: line 180: test: : integer expression expected Mon Dec 11 15:58:21 2006 bb-local.sh /opt/Big_Brother/bb/bin/bb-disk.sh: line 180: test: : integer expression expected Mon Dec 11 16:03:21 2006 bb-local.sh /opt/Big_Brother/bb/bin/bb-disk.sh: line 180: test: : integer expression expected

From bbdef.sh

LOCAL CLIENT MONITORING CONFIGURATION FOR bb-local.sh

WARNING AND PANIC LEVELS FOR LOCAL SYSTEM INFOMRAION

YOU CAN SET VALUES ON A SPECIFIC FILESYSTEM BY USING

THE etc/bb-dftab FILE

DFWARN=90 # (YELLOW) DISK % TO WARN DFPANIC=95 # (RED) DISK % TO PANIC export DFWARN DFPANIC

The lines above and below line 180 of bb-disk.sh

MARK="" if test "$DISKPCT" -ge "$DFWARNVAL" # ABOVE WARNING LEVEL then if test "$DISKPCT" -ge "$DFPANICVAL"

ABOVE PANIC, RED ALERT !!!

                            then
                                    COLOR="red"
                                    MARK="PANIC"
                                    MARKLEVEL=$DFPANICVAL
                                    HIGHMARK="PANIC"
                                    GIFCOLOR="&red"
                                    REDLINE="${GIFCOLOR} ${DISKNAME}

(${DISKPCT}%) has reached the defined disk space ${MARK} le vel (${MARKLEVEL}%) ${REDLINE}" else

By default all servers are set to alert at 90% and 95% percent.

Thanks in advance for everyone's help
