How to monitor Disk Utilisation

[Jacky_7]

Our customer wants to monitor the disk utilisation of the system and if disk usage over 80%, a snmp trap will send out to other node.

I know Openview can do that, but customer doesn't want to spend $$, so is there any ways to do this kind of monitoring on a basic HP-UX system? and how?

here is a script by Robert T. Hoey
that notifies you by email or can page you when a filesystem exceed 90% of usage.

thanks

Hi Jacky,

You can install glance plus which will give you disk utilization report. but its priced product.

or use following command to check the disks utilization

sar -d X Y
where X is interval in sec. and Y is no of times you want to run. e.g sar -d 3 6
(see man sar for help)

Cheers!!!

Hi,

A simplest and easiest option will be to enable EMS for the particular file system on that disks. It do not cost anything and will send alert to your system's syslog.log.

Yes. You can use EMS. With EMS you can get notification for many events. You can monitor the whole system. The notification can be got through any of these method

1) UDP 2) TCP 3) SNMP 4) TEXTLOG
5) SYSLOG 6) EMAIL 7) CONSOLE

go through man pages of EMS. Go through this link

Is the mibmond.dict must be installed in /etc/opt/resmon/dictionary, in order to enable the file system monitoring function?
