Currently I'm using monit to alert me when disk space usage reaches
80%.
check device rootfs with path /dev/hda1
if space usage > 80% then alert
mode passive
When space usage reaches the alert level, monit keeps reminding me
until
I bring it back below 80%. I'd like it to send one alert, then
timeout,
like it can with processes. Otherwise I keep getting alerts until I
can
login to the box and clean up old files, etc.
check process apache with pidfile /var/run/apache.pid
start program = "/etc/init.d/apache start"
stop program = "/etc/init.d/apache stop"
if 2 restarts within 3 cycles then timeout
mode active
I've searched the manual and Google'd it, to no avail. It appears that
timeouts only apply processes. Is there another way to limit the
number
of alerts for disk space usage and the like?
