Monitor disk growth/day?

[and1100]

Hi,

Is it possible to monitor disk growth per day on a Linux filesystem and send out an alert when the disk growth on the day has exceeded a specific percentage?

Would I need a specific script for that?

Thanks.

check_disk from the nagios-plugins package supports this. Most people use it through nrpe or check_by_ssh.

Great, thank you-- I did not know that. I will play around with it to see if I get the results I want.

Thanks again!
