    Different servers - disk discovery issues

    Hi all.

    Brand new to Zabbix. I installed server 2.0.6 last night and put the agent on a couple of non-prod servers for test purposes. I'm using the stock Linux template for testing purposes and need help with some issues.

    Problem 1: I am running the agent on Linux servers 1-4. If I look at the graphs, it shows that all servers have the same exact file system sizes, which isn't even close to correct. All servers were configured with different file system sizes and some of them have more than the standard OS filesystems. I suspect something isn't being populated correctly in the database but I'm not sure. zabbix_get wasn't installed in the installation so I can't check locally.

    Problem 2: The servers that have more than just /, /boot, /var, and /opt (like /apps, /ora, et cetera) - those filesystems are not being discovered. How do I get these to be recognized in auto discovery? Some servers have up to 100 file systems. Other than NFS, they are all using ext3 within a volume group.

    Problem 3: How do you install zabbix_get? I installed everything through the repository (rpm) and it isn't on the server.

    Thanks in advance

    please take a look into Administration->General->Regular Expression, here you can see/add you filesystem (for example zfs, ocfs, etc)

    otherwise please post you output from mount

      Thanks for the response.

      The file system type is not the issue. The problem is that any file system that isn't a "standard" one doesn't get picked up by auto detection. Please see bold below.

      /dev/mapper/VolGroup00-LogVol01 on / type ext3 (rw)
      proc on /proc type proc (rw)
      sysfs on /sys type sysfs (rw)
      devpts on /dev/pts type devpts (rw,gid=5,mode=620)
      /dev/mapper/VolGroup00-LogVol00 on /var type ext3 (rw)
      /dev/mapper/VolGroup00-LogVol02 on /opt type ext3 (rw)
      /dev/sda1 on /boot type ext3 (rw)
      tmpfs on /dev/shm type tmpfs (rw)
      /dev/mapper/appdg-apps on /apps type ext3 (rw)
      /dev/mapper/CM-CMVOL on /CM type ext3 (rw)


      I would prefer to have auto-detect pick up on these file systems as there would be thousands (literally) of entries I would have to do.
