How to get drive to show up

Post by paleogryph »

Ok, I know it's probably a simple question/answer, :) but:

I have a VMware VDR appliance(Centos 5.2) I'm trying to monitor, the Destination location, which is /dev/sdb1. When I walk it I don't see it and it doesn't come up when I use "create graphs for this host". How can I tell Cacti to grab the info for that device?

Thanks!

In case you walk the MIB and don't get the data cacti won't get it either. So it may be a problem with snmp(-configuration). See e.g. 2nd link of my sig for more

Ok, I guess it's simple...

1. I had to add the disk/partition to the snmpd.conf file:
includeAllDisks
disk /dev/sdb1
disk /SCSI-0:1
Restart snmpd

2. Verbose query of ucd/net(not unix) get mounted partitions, just to make sure it shows up

3. Create Graph for this Host using the ucd/net get mounted parititons data query
