Best way for flesystem monitoring in hp-ux

[Steve Post]

If you know perl, I have a perl script that has worked fine for me for the last 8 years.
It pages me if the filesystems get over a certain threshhold. But it won't page me every 5 minutes until it is fixed.
It uses bdf command and knows about the file line breaks.
It's probably not the most pretty thing.

But it works.
I'm not going to make the 269 line script generic unless you want it. Then I'll post it here.
....hmm...it there a place where people post SIMPLE scripts?

Nagios is ported for HP-UX as a part of Internet Express package - http://h20338.www2.hp.com/hpux11i/cache/324414-0-0-0-121.html

sysadmin,

I understand you want to use an HP product however I would recommend looking at Nagios. I admin between 120 and 150 servers which run HP-UX 11i v1/v2 /CentOS(Linux Distro)/RedHat Enterprise Linux. It was a nightmare of scripts and cron jobs and sed/awd; expect, perl etc, etc. Until I got involved with this Open Source Tool. Installing it can be done in twenty or thirty minutes although adding your hosts and configuring the plugins and alerts takes considerable time initially you won't be sorry afterward. Believe me.

Regards,

Jonathan

You may also check Zabbix as alternative for Nagios/Cacti

You could also try the checkfs monitoring system.
