Question by Gert B. · Feb 06, 2014 at 04:02 PM ·

Host Metrics

Hi,

I need some help in knowing if there is any other way of excluding host metrics. We have around 90 Solaris servers in our environment with about 60 mounted veritas file systems on each of these servers as they are oracle database servers, so to me it is not ideal to use the below method to exclude these file systems which are "never" growing.

IE:

Host 1

/ADMIN is to be monitored

/DATA1 is not to be monitored

 

Is this the only way of getting this done?

<systemprofile ...>

     <genericagentproperties>
       <property value= "disk(linux,*,/tmp); disk(linux,*,/var/tmp);disk(linux,*,/run); disk(linux,*,/var/run)" key= "hostmetrics.inclusions" />
       <property value= "disk(linux,tmpfs,*); disk(linux,*,/dev); disk(linux,cgroup,*); disk(linux,debugfs,*); nic(solaris,mac)" key= "hostmetrics.exclusions" />
     </genericagentproperties>
</systemprofile>

 

Thanks

Gert..

Hi Gert,

You are correct, right now the two properties you listed above are the only way to exclude/include file systems. Do the mount points have a common pattern? I am not sure but it is worth trying to see if wildcards like /oracle/* can be excluded to make things easier...

Best, Roman

Thank you for your prompt response Roman, I have another concern though, If my exclusions are call it 100 lines long to exclude what is not needed, how would the server perform in this regard. 

 

I am just concerned about performance issues.

 

Thanks

Gert..

Should be a measurable impact - certainly less that gathering 60+ unnecessary metrics every couple seconds.

Never tried it with more than a couple exclusion, so be sure to try it in a test environment first before you roll out to production (smile)

Best, Roman
