Some filesystem graphs not showing in disk page, only in trends
Hi everyone,
We are running Xymon 4.3.28-1.el7.terabithia on CentOS 7.6 -
Last night we noticed that the graph for the /var directory fs on one of our servers (which was filling up) was not showing up in the disk page. Digging in to the trends for the server it did show up - it looks like tons of /run/user/$uid RRD files are being created for this server, is there a limit to the number of graphs will show on the main disk page vs the trends page? Is there a way to configure this so temporary file systems will be excluded?

You could exclude /var/run/* completely, as those presumably come and go along with the users. There are notes in the analysis.cfg file:
DISK filesystem warnlevel paniclevel
DISK filesystem IGNORE
The special keyword "IGNORE" causes this filesystem to be
ignored
completely, i.e. it will not appear in the "disk" status
column and
it will not be tracked in a graph. This is useful for e.g.
removable
devices, backup-disks and similar hardware.

We also exclude the inode graphs for those filesystems using the INODE keyword in analysis.cfg.
