Match a string and alert

[sfereday]

It might be the lack of sleep, it might be the inexperience with Zabbix. I don't know, I'm not a doctor. I can tell you what my problem is though.

I've created a command to run on each of the Linux servers. system.run[ tune2fs -l /dev/vda2 | grep "Filesystem state:"] The command comes back correct and I see output from each of the servers that have a /dev/vda2. The output comes back as "Filesystem state: clean". I'm trying for the life of me to create a trigger that will flag only when it doesn't equal "Filesystem state: clean".

The trigger I've created and played with is
{KMI_Linux:system.run[ tune2fs -l /dev/vda2 | grep "Filesystem state:"].str(""Filesystem state: clean"")}=0

I've tested multiple different endings from =1, <>0, and <>1. I don't know that I have this correct and I'm at a punch drunk wall of no sleep. I am going to do my best to not forget to check this for a month.

Try it without the doubled-up " parameter to str(). I would also probably just look for "clean":

{KMI_Linux:system.run[ tune2fs -l /dev/vda2 | grep "Filesystem state:"].str("clean")}=0

The =0 looks correct (for str(), that should be "no match", though <>1 might be a little more easy to understand, logically), I think the problem is likely with the str() call you were making.

tim.mooney Thank you! I'm trying this now. I was out Friday or I would have tried it then. I may have to adjust it though. The response from the OS can be "clean with errors". I'm not sure how to contend with that.

Edit: You beath thy maneth. It seems to be working. I still have to experiment with the "clean with errors" part.
