Checking disk space in local filesystems

Relevant classes: any To monitor the disk space in a local filesystem (i.e. not mounted via NFS) you can use the action 'disks' like this: disks: /home freespace=10% inform=true force=true /var freespace=20% inform=true force=true define=clean_var In this case if the free space in '/home' falls below 10% cfengine will inform you. In case the free space in '/var' falls below 20%, then cfengine will inform you and it also will define a class called: 'clean_var'. It is important that you set 'force=true' otherwise cfengine will not check it as it (by default) won't check filesystems other than '/'. Back to documentation
