NCPA Check for NFS mount points

Post by madhu2852 »

Hello,

I've a NFS mount point on the server and i see that the NCPA is unable to capture it for monitoring . Does NCPA has capability to monitor NFS mounts ..?

Regards,
Madhu.

What is the version of the NCPA agent that you are currently using?

I would recommend upgrading to the latest (2.1.4) if you haven't done it already. Check to see if you have an entry in the ncpa.cfg, looking like this one:

Code: Select all

exclude_fs_types = aufs,autofs,binfmt_misc,cifs,cgroup,debugfs,devpts,devtmpfs,encryptfs,efivarfs,fuse,hugelbtfs,mqueue,nfs,overlayfs,proc,pstore,rpc_pipefs,securityfs,smb,sysfs,tmpfs,tracefs
If you don't, you can add it. Remove the fs types that you don't want to be excluded (the ones that you need to monitor), save, exit, and restart the ncpa_listener service. I am pretty sure, you could use something like this:

Code: Select all

exclude_fs_types = 
if you wanted to monitor ALL fs types.

Let us know if this helped. Thank you!
