File systems notification on HP-UX

[gab_in]

Hi,

I would like to implement automatic e-mail notification on HP-UX Servers when any file system in the HP-UX Servers reach 97 %. Please let me know how can I do that and send me if you have any script for the same and the procedure.

Thanks in advance
Gab

hi gab_in

If you have installed openview in your box you should configure MWA because you can monitoring a lot of items in your system and it has an historical DB from you could get information to make performance reports and it sends emails too.

get a copy of bdfmegs script by Bill H. It attached to a post here:

In your script run that w/ -P 97 (I believe) and parse out the filesystem names using whatever tool you like ("cut" and "awk" come to mind) dumping that to a file. you can then do something like:

cat Your_File | mailx -s "Disk Use" -r des@some.domain

to send it.

Oldschool is correct.

# bdfmegs -P 97

will give you all filesystems that are 97% capacity or greater.

No need to do it in 2 steps though.

# bdfmegs -P 97 | mailx -s "Filesystems greater than 97%" you@somedomain.com

will work just fine.

You can schedule that to run from cron every few minutes.

Patrick noted that it can be done as a "one-liner". One potential advantage of multiple steps would be that you can test to see if there *aren't* any and skip the email step.

Good point.

I might do something like this:

# cat bdfg-monitor.sh

#!/usr/bin/sh
bdfg -P 97 -q > /var/tmp/bdfg-monitor

if [[ -s /var/tmp/bdfg-monitor ]] ; then
mailx -s "Files systems over 97%" you@yourdomain.com < /var/tmp/bdfg-monitor
fi
