Is there a way to dynamically monitor filesystems on a server? How do you do that? For the moment, when I had a new host, I run a script on it to check local FS and generate XML code ready to import into zabbix. However, if a new FS is created, it is not automaticaly added into zabbix (and I do not want to add a cronjob on each host to do that). I tried to create un new parameter to send FS list to zabbix server, but I did not find a way to create a trigger who can treat these information. For example, it seems possible to change trigger state if a FS reach 95% but not to tell which one... What is the best way to maintain node FS monitoring up to date without a manuel action? New FS are created everyday on serveral client, it is a real pain to add them manually into GUI... Thank you in advance. |

Perhaps a couple of user parameters may do the trick: 1. The first item would scan all file systems and return percentage of used disk space of the most filled file system Then, a trigger may be defined to show name of the filesystem: Trigger name: "Low free disk space on {ITEM.LASTVALUE}"Trigger expression: {host:fs_name.last(0)}<0 | {host:fs_used.last(0)}<10 fs_name.last(0) will never be evaluated as true, so fs_used.last(0)<10 will actually be checked. {ITEM.LASTVALUE} is a macro, which will be available starting from 1.4.3. I hope this is close to what you want. Alexei |

we do the same here using UserParameter, which we have an update-mechanism for. UserParameter=drive.full, df -Ph|awk ' { print $6" is "$5" full"}'|sort -n -k4|egrep "8[5-9]%|9[0-9]%"||echo " " the sort makes sure the most filled shows up on overview page. works for linux/unix agents only (except there are similar tools for windows) |

The solutions with user parameter isn't good enough. I would like to have a system that runs a discovery of the system on a regular basis and make Zabbix monitor/graph the volumes mounted. Today we have added most of the 'known' mount points in our template but this isn't good enough either. We have a few hundred different systems which doesn't look alike at all. Some dynamic discovery wanted! |
