Hi Net-SNMP gurus, 

I would like to monitor the partition of my system using the DISMAN event MIB 
capabilities. Here what I like to achieve:

1- for some known file systems mounted at server boot time, I want to issue two 
kind of traps:
    (*) if file system is > X% full, a trap corresponding to a warning 
situation is sent.
    (*) if file system is > Y% full, a trap corresponding to an alarm situation 
is sent. 
Here X, and Y depends on the file systems. 

2- for the remaining file systems known when the Agent is started, a default 
policy applies: 
    (*) if file system is > 90% full, a trap corresponding to a warning 
situation is sent.
    (*) if file system is > 95% full, a trap corresponding to an alarm 
situation is sent.

I could implement 1) as follows: 

####
# monitor: /tmp
# policy : warning at 90%, alarm at 95%
disk /tmp 10%
monitor -i -r 60 -o dskPath.1 -o dskErrorMsg.1 "disk1WS" dskPercent.1 >= 90
monitor -i -r 60 -o dskPath.1 -o dskErrorMsg.1 "disk1AS" dskPercent.1 >= 95

# define all given FS similarly to /tmp
# ...

where "disk1WS" means "disk partition #1, warning set"
      "disk1AS" means "disk partition #1, alarm set" 

The trap receiver knows what to do depending on the trigger name. 

Now, my question is how I implement the "default policy". I could perhaps 
define something like:

# define default policy
# 
includeAllDisks 10
monitor -r 60 -o dskPath -o dskErrorMsg "diskDefaultWS" dskPercent >= 90
monitor -r 60 -o dskPath -o dskErrorMsg "diskDefaultAS" dskPercent >= 95

But the question is: what does happen if 1) and 2) are combined? Will the traps 
be generated as wanted for the file system defined in the disk sections and the 
default policy shall apply for the rest?

Or will the default policy overrides the specialized policies? If so, how can I 
achieve the wanted results? 


Thanks in advance,
Loic.
