Hi scott, We do see records for every mounted filesystem. Both on SLES10 SP2 and SLES11 SP1. Indeed, have option APPLMON for the guest and start mon_fsstatd. Actually we have APPLDATA, mon_fsstatd and mon_procd running.
We run two machines on the CP MONITOR running custom plumbing. The first only writes selected recordtypes to disk (such as Dom. 10 Rec. 2). The second CMS machine monitors the filesystem records and creates incidents based on certain thresholds on filesystem usage. We don't run the IBM MONWRITE. First of all we'd like to write only those records we are interested in. And second, MONWRITE writes the file into fixed 4096 records instead of one record for each monitor record. Do you know for sure your plumbing does indeed get the records the correct way? Have you tried the MONVIEW package from the IBM VM packages? Regards, Berry.
