Summary: check_disk flexibility
Initial Comment:
I am using check_disk via. nrpe to monitor diskspace on
our servers. I like the feature of being able to
monitor all the filesystems with a single check_disk
call but have run into three problems/issues with this.
1. There is no way to exclude multiple filesystems.
Multiple -x flags just don't work.
2. I need a way to allow for different percentages on
different filesystems. For example, I may want to have
warnings at 10% and critical at 5% for most
filesystems, but if I have a 20GB filesystem, I
probably don't need a warning when there is still 2GB
free. I also need this feature to be able to work
around disks that might be temporarily over their
high-water mark. I'm thinking somethign along the
lines of: check_disk -w 10% -c 5% -P /usr:5%:2%
3. A flag is needed to tell check_disk to return mount
points instead of device names if -p is not used. When
I get a warning, knowing that it is /usr that is full
is more useful than /dev/cciss/c0d0p3.

Dan,
The -P idea has been implemented in the latest check_disk using a
multiple -w and -c options. See the --help output for more information.
Closing this call now.
Thanks for your report.

Dan,
Thanks for the suggestions. You should find all of these have been
addressed in the latest version of check_disk. For (2), you need to
specify different levels like this:
check_disk -w 10% -c 5% -p / -p /tmp -w 5% -c 2% -p /usr
However, I've been thinking about your suggestion of -P to specify
non-default thresholds. This has some potential so I've started a
thread on it in nagiosplug-devel to gauge opinions.
Will update here when there is a decision made.
Ton
