Flexible parameters

[phatrik83]

Hi,


I wanted to check the disk space on a system. I'm creating an item which looks like this:


vfs.fs.size[*,pfree]


I get an error message saying this isn't supported? Perhaps I'm miss-understanding about how to use flexible parameters. I expected the above to create an item for all detected mountpoints on the Linux system.


TIA

Indicate name of file system instead of asterisk

I understand how to specify the file system but if you read about flexible parameters, it seems like the point of using an asterisk is to not have to specify the file system?

In the example, they even use vfs.fs.size, with the only difference they don't specify the mode:

I guess you misunderstand something. You have to specify filesystem in your item anyways; otherwise, to which filesystem item with asterisk is going to be assigned?
