I’ve added something like this to the DEFAULT section at the end of hobbit-cleints.cfg.
DISK /mnt IGNORE
But if I mount something on /mnt, it still shows up, alerts, etc. Does this have to be specified per-host/per-page/per-class or should it be possible to define such a thing under DEFAULT?
Related question: How can I “drop” a single filesystem that I don’t want to see historical data for?
Thanks.

The magnitude of a problem does not affect its ownership.
For DEFAULT (which I thought had an S, no?) order is important. I think it has to be last in the file, but I do not recall. This bit me similarly a week or so ago.

There’s no S in the examples or documentation, but that doesn’t necessarily mean it shouldn’t be there.

I knew someone would bring that up, which is why I specifically said “the DEFAULT section at the end of hobbit-cleints.cfg”. :)
Any other ideas?

Default is read last, whatever is above it has already been parsed and added to the config. So, it may be that this FS is picked up explicity at some higher level.... maybe.. Have not spent any time on this in many moons.

No, there are no mentions of /mnt higher up in the file, but thanks.

As for dropping a filesystem from the history, I go looking for it in the data/rrd directory and just remove the rrd file. Steve

Ah! I think I've figured it out. My apologies for the reading-comprehension problem earlier. ;)
What I believe to be the problem is that your DISK * 90 95 entry comes before the /mnt entry. That could be a bum guess, but I think it's the most likely. FYI, here is my DEFAULT section:
DEFAULT # These are the built-in defaults. UP 1h LOAD 5.0 10.0 DISK %^/cdrom.* IGNORE DISK %^/mnt.* IGNORE DISK * 90 95 MEMPHYS 100 101 MEMSWAP 50 80 MEMACT 90 97
I don't know if all of the punctuation is necessary if you're looking specifically for one name of a filesystem, but I can tell you that mine works (and handles /mnt/cdrom, or things like Solaris' /cdrom/cdrom0/s0, etc.).

It sure does. That’s a good theory. I’ll test it out and let you know. Thanks.
