Monitoring tool

Ralf Buchhold — Thu, 20 Oct 2005 08:29:55 GMT

Hello
are monitoring - tools from HP available.
Like: mail me when the filesystem is 98 % full.

Thanks
Ralf

diagmon / stm / resmon / glanc-plus are well known

I think you want Big Brother. It's free, althought there is a "professional" edition that you can pay for.

It gives a web display of the status of the system - in the case of disc space, green would indicate acceptable, yellow warning, red panic. In your case, panic would be triggered at 98% and you might want warning at 95%.

Ralf,

I'm not sure what your budget is for this, but HP offers an entire HP Openview suite of products.

script1.sh
-------------------------------------------
#!/usr/bin/ksh
list=`bdf|xargs`
var2=$1
func1 ()
{
var1=$#
shift 6
while true
do
if [ $var1 -gt 8 ]
then
var3=`echo $6 | cut -d "%" -f 1`
if [ $var3 -gt $var2 ]
then
echo "$7 $6 This FileSystem is Overloaded"
shift 6
let var1=$var1-6
else
shift 6
let var1=$var1-6
fi
else
exit
fi
done
}
func1 $list
---------------------------------------------

# chmod +x script1.sh
# ./script.sh 98

This will give you the desired output.
Also you will have add to script to get the email of the output that this it displays.

Perl provided above seems to be very concise. :)

Hope that helps.

Ralf,

If you are looking for professional products in the market, big brother is one such. Another
product which we use across our entire foot print is patrol software from best1 I think. This is very good tool where you can define filesystem threshold and alert by email and page. various methods of alerting is there.

You can monitor file system space usage and other things with EMS (the Event Monitoring Service), via SAM. I'm not sure it works on percentages, rather on actual amounts of free space, but it can be set up to mail you when the limits are reached.

See http://www.docs.hp.com/hpux/onlinedocs/B7609-90022/B7609-90022.html

Hi Ralf,

Here is a working script.

#!/usr/bin/sh
#Script to email the filesystem Utilization
#/home/scripts/bdfoutput

bdf | awk '{ print $5}' | grep ^9

if [ $? -eq 0 ]
then

/usr/bin/bdf | /usr/bin/awk '{ if ($5 >= 90 ) print ( $5,$6 ) }' > /tmp/bdfoutput

/usr/bin/mailx -s bdf abc@xyz.com < /tmp/bdfoutput
fi

The above script will get mail you the output of filesystems which is above 90% used.

add the following to the crontab.

# every 20 minutes to Check BDF status and email if above 90% used.

00,20,59 * * * * /home/scripts/bdfoutput

Regards,
Syam

Hello,

since BigBrother isn't really free for professional. They use an odd lisence called BTF (better than free), there is an new free monitoring software called Hobbit.

You can find it at http://sourceforge.net/projects/hobbitmon/

There you can download the source. I am running it at home at HP-UX 11.11

Lars

Hi,
you can use this simple command:
# Show mount points over PCT
bdf|awk -v PCT=90 'NR==1||substr($5,1,index($5,"%")-1)+0>=PCT'|mail yourSEA@hp.com
