9626.0. "Disk volume HighWaterMark notification?" by MQOOA::LEDOUX (Vincent [email protected]) Sat Apr 26 1997 09:49

    I am answering an RFP and the end-user needs to
    know if Unix comes (or has a layered product)
    that would allow a configurable disk highwatermark.
    
    ie: say the customer wants to be somewhat notified
        if the volume is 87% full.  The notification
        method is irrelevent, a mail or something like
        an OPCOM message would be sufficient.
    
    I searched in LSM litterature, but could not find
    the right answer.
    
    Would DECevent do it?
    
    Not being very Unix litterate, I do need some
    basic information.

I don't know if any of the SNMP MIBs (like serverworks, BMC, or
host MIB do this).

I think Polycenter Watchdog can do this (a CA product now)...

A simple shell script can do this.

LSM does not know about file system freespace (and should not)

I don't think so.

9626.2AdvFs knows Free Space AlertsALFAM7::STREPPELMon Apr 28 1997 10:023
    AdvFs knows about Free Space Alerts too, with the little help of a
    shell script.

The AdvFS GUI can do this for AdvFS filesystems, but not for any other type of
filesystem.

Performance Manager can do this for any filesystem.  See
http://www.zso.dec.com/unix/pm/pmweb/ for details on this product.
