diskmon

Monitors a disk and sends notifications.

Description

Diskmon is a SeisComP init script that checks on each call to seiscomp check the filesystem by running the following command:

df | awk -v max="%d" \'{ if ( $5 > max ) print $0 }\'

where “%d” is replaced by the configured threshold. If there are lines in the output (which means some filesystem exceed the usage threshold) it sends the output along with a description line to all configured receipients using the mail command.

To make diskmon work it is important that mail is working on the shell.

diskmon is a standalone module and does not inherit global options.
