Linux disk size issues

quinne

Orion reports disk space differently than Linux and I'd like to get them to match.


For example, Linux says a volume on one of our servers is 141GB (in 1K blocks).  Orion says the same volume is 134.5GB.  I assume the differenc is in 1,024 versus 1,000.  Is there a way to change this on Orion so that I can set alerts properly?

    Possibly some workarounds here;

    I saw those but I'm not sure that helps.  I need my alerts to be triggered based on what Linux is reporting, not what Solarwinds is reporting.


    If I do a df -k I see that /d02 on server X is currently 54% used.  If check solarwinds right now it says /d02 on server X is currently 50%.


     So if I say "Alert me when /d02 on server X is > 98% full" the disk will fill up before Solarwinds alerts anybody (Solarwinds will think it's at roughly 96% when it's actually 100%).  So the only alert I'll get is the one telling me Oracle crashed because the mount point for the data files filled up.


    There's got to be a way to mesh these things.  Even if it means a snmpd.conf file change.

     By any chance are some of these FreeBSD? We have this issue lalso as you describe here with alerts. This is due to a 'fudge factor' that BSD reports on it's hard drives. Very odd. I've had to change around our % values to get it more accurate.

    I had the same issue. Oracle crashed because of this!
