filesystem monitor only for status

Post by preethu.d »

Hi Team,

We have a requirement where we don't want to monitor disk space usage for FS mount points on servers , instead just want to be notified in case it’s unavailable/missing on that server. Please let me know if it’s feasible to monitor just the availability of FS mounts on servers instead of the disk usage parameter.

Below is the argument we are using currently

-t '<token number>' -P 5693 -M '<filesystempath>' -w '65' -c '80'

We don't need any alert if any breach in warning or critical threshold for disk uage. We need notification when this doesn't exist on the node.

Regards,
Preethu

Hello @preethu.d

Thanks for reaching out, and wanted to find out if using an alternate plugin would work for this instead. Found on our exchange plugins:

https://exchange.nagios.org/directory/Plugins/System-Metrics/....

Thanks,
Perry

Hi,

Can we use the below argument ?

-t '<token number>' -P 5693 -M '<filesystempath>'

(without warning and critical threshold) will it monitor filesystem without alerting incase if disk is full ?

Also incase if the filesystem doesn't exist on the node it has to trigger the below unknown alert.

UNKNOWN: The node (<FS path> ? requested does not exist. You may be trying to access the '/' node.

Preethu

What OS is the remote system you are checking?

If it is Windows, are these Windows Mapped Drives or actual disks on the system? See the Danger section at the top about mapped drives:
- Ignore that it's for NSClient++, it's the same for all agents as it's a Windows mapping disks per user session issue with mapped drives
