This >results in /home sending out notifications from all 50 servers. I'm relatively sure that you should be able to query the storage device directly for space reports (SNMP for example). This would mean you setup a host for the isolon/NetApp to monitor the storage usage. Then, your monitoring of the individual servers storage space, would really be for connectivities sake to ensure communications back to the storage. Setup service dependencies, and when the server goes down, the various other hosts won't alert that /home isn't mounted any more because it's nicely handled by the dependency. >Is there a good way to set things up so that if central storage fills up >I don't get paged by every system we've got?

Service Dependencies as Patrick mentioned, along with monitoring the storage solution directly. - -- Jon Angliss -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.9 (MingW32) - GPGshell v3.64 iEYEARECAAYFAkjhkdAACgkQK4PoFPj9H3NOLgCbBhDAdN58RoyhWGp9LnzlFSpY fVIAn35gdPXnVQSihqMqglObm1FuOYcM =9VWa -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK & win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100&url=/ _______________________________________________ Nagios-users mailing list Nagios-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/nagios-users ::: Please include Nagios version, plugin version (-v) and OS when reporting any issue. ::: Messages without supporting info will risk being sent to /dev/null
