Technical Note: How to configure disk names that should be monitored

Description

Scope

This KB fixes bug 8441: Disk utilization performance monitoring needs to be allowed for the user to choose the disk names that should be monitored.

Solution

Here is a step by step guide : 

1. Login to the collector or supervisor which owns the target device. 

2. If it is a collector, create /opt/phoenix/data-definition directory

mkdir /opt/phoenix/data-definition

chown admin.admin /opt/phoenix/data-definition

chmod 775 /opt/phoenix/data-definition

3. Find the sample configuration /opt/phoenix/data-definition/skipDiskSpaceMonitoring.csv on the Supervisor

4. Edit skipDiskSpaceMonitoring.csv

******

Each line contains one hostname and diskname pair that customer wants to skip,

Format is:

Hostname,diskname

Eg.

ACCELOPS-W2K3B4,C:\

It’s not case sensitive, but whitespace is not allowed near the comma.

For example:

aCCelops-w2k3B4,c:\                     ---  will skip

ACCELOPS-W2K3B4   ,C:\  --------will not skip

******

4. Restart phPerfMonitor

killall -9 phPerfMonitor
