I haven't used the NCPA wizard in a while, since all of my systems added lately use templates.

However, when running v1.3.5 of the wizard today, I noticed that it's pulling the device name for disk monitoring, instead of the logical name that it used to. Checking the changelog, I don't see where this was modified.

Frankly, I don't like it at all. I greatly prefer the logical naming for the labels on disk checks.

To do this, all I needed to do was edit line 212 in ncpa.inc.php:
from to Thought I'd put this out there if anyone else wants this.

Thanks for sharing! I too tend to prefer the logical name

FYI. This fix no longer works with the new array built into v.1.4.x of the wizard.

Really not a fan of the verbose output of logical disks with NCPA 2.0.3. Makes using this wizard a pain for systems I add manually. Thankfully, most of my stuff is templated.

If you wish to write a custom wizard you can use this document as a guideline.

It's not so much an issue with the Wizard as it is with NCPA.

The latest agent now lists every type of disk, far beyond mounted partitions of a Linux host. I just wanted to make sure that anyone who found this thread didn't assume the simple fix still works.

Thanks for the input and sharing the work around. Was there anything else you wanted to point out or are we okay locking the thread?

Lock it up.
