Hello everybody,

I want to monitor the disks in a classical way, ie the space, space used, space left, ... but the problem is that when I go to the File Systems tab I see only the total size of all discs and peripherals but I do not see the size remaining and the size used.

And I want to know what it means "1024,*" and "100,EXC,-" it is je formula part in the resource.

I'm under Zenoss Core 4.2.5 and Red Hat 6

Thank you
Amir

Not sure what else you want - my FileSystems show total bytes,  bytes free, bytes used and utilisation.



Cheers,
Jane

Hello jane,

yes, that's it.
I only have "Total Bytes" which works but the rest displays 0.00 and Unknown


thank you

Jane,

I have solved my problem with "File System" but now I would like to know how to create monitors on my hard drive via the "monitor template" because the OIDs proposed in the monitoring template are not correct.


thank you
Amir

Your device seems to be in the /Discovered device class.  For starters, I would recommend moving it under /Server/Linux - though I suspect that wont significantly change the monitoring.  A Hard Drive is a component and it is not normally monitored under either /Discovered or /Server/Linux .

You obviously have already discovered hard drive components.  The Hard Disk template binds AUTOMATICALLY  (because Hard Disk is a component).  If it using the "wrong" OID then I would suggest creating a new device class - say /Server/Linux/myLinux.  This class will inherit the templates from Server/Linux.

Next, go to ADVANCED -> Monitoring Templates and find the Hard Disk template that is currently being used.  From the Action icon at the bottom of the left-hand menu, choose Copy / Override template to copy it to your new class.  Then  modify your new version for the OIDs that you want.  Do NOT change the name of the template - the automatic binding depends on the name being exactly that.  The version that actually gets bound to a device depends on the class that the device is in.

Then move your device to your new class.  It should automatically inherit the correct templates.

Cheers,
Jane
