Default Linux tool for disk blocks usage - 04-24-2007 , 01:29 AM






Hi,
What is a good tool to remotely monitor disk usage (actual blocks used
and free space) for storage hosted by a Linux server? Perhaps a tool
with some graphical usage summary? Monitoring the data via CIFS and
NFS shares will not work in our environment that well since some
directories are not exposed via NAS protocols

df. I'd login to the Linux server (with SSH) and run df periodically.
Maybe in combination with the "watch" tool, like so:

watch -d df

No commercial application with a richer feature set and graphs?
Things like alerts etc that are available on SRM tools?

NetVault Report manager from Bakbone may be able to do what you need.

You didn't ask for that, orgiginally.

Anyway - you can get the diskusage data via SNMP. There are loads of
SNMP monitoring tools outthere. You might even be able to find something,
where you can waste money on.
