We frequently have the case where a NFS (or CIFS) Linux share triggers a space alert, but the same share may be mounted on 10's of servers, so each server gets an alert. I've been thinking about a way to use global correlation to suppress the duplicates. I'm wondering if I could extend filesystem discovery (replace it with my own script) that included the first field of fstab as {#FSSPEC}, then for NFS or CIFS add that tag to the trigger, for example tag FSSPEC would contain "//some.cifs.server/dir1/dir2", then use essentially Example 1 with different names.
Has anyone done anything like this? I'm still on 5.0, will probably go to 6.0 when it's ripe :-)
