EMS Monitoring

[Darren Murray]

Hi,

Was wondering if it was possible to set up a EMS monitor to email me if diskspace was low and how to do it

Cheers
Darren

Yes, you can do this if you have the EMS HA Monitors product installed. It is possible that you also get this feature with the Hardware Online Diagnostic. The EMS monitor that does this is "/etc/opt/resmon/lbin/fsmond". It retrieves the information about the filesystems from the local node's SNMP database.

To check whether you are able to monitor filesystem resources, run the command

# resls /system/filesystem/availMB

If the command returns the filesystem resources, you can setup a monitor for each or some of them in SAM (go to the Resource Management section). Note that the processes snmpdm and mib2agt are required to run to make this work (check whether they are configured to start up at boot time by examining the files in /etc/rc.config.d/Snmp* ).

Also refer to the EMS HA Monitors manual:

I put together a cron job (with the help of other forum members) to something like that. It prints a report of the file systems that are greater than 96% full. You could probably modify it to e-mail instead of print.
