File System Space Monitoring

The devCapacity column of the Device table, which shows the percentage of file system space being used, is ideal for checking for file systems at risk of becoming too full. You can use the Self Monitor table to instruct the agent to monitor the devCapacity values and to send a trap to the management system if the value goes above the threshold value that you select. For example, you can have the agent monitor the /usr directory and send a critical state change trap if it becomes greater than 90% full using the following line:

monitor 11 0x00 60 absolute > 90 'Monitor device space usage' '' devTableEntry '/usr' devCapacity

For more information about setting thresholds, see the chapter "Self Monitoring.”

The SystemEDGE agent does not support remote file system monitoring on Windows. It does support remote file system monitoring on UNIX when the no_stat_nfs_filesystems flag is disabled. For more information, see the chapter "Agent Configuration."
