Usage notes

  • The include and exclude options for both file system type and path are
    mutually exclusive (e.g. you can not use --exclude-fs-type and
    --include-fs-type on the same check).
  • The file system path on Linux/Unix/macOS systems means the file system mount
    point (e.g. /, /tmp, /home)
  • The file system path on Windows refers to the drive letter (e.g. C:, D:).
    Volumes mounted via UNC paths are not checked.
  • File system types and paths on Windows are capitalized and need to be
    specified as such (e.g. NTFS, C:)
  • The --include-pseudo-fs option is false by default meaning that on Linux
    systems file system with types such as tmpfs (e.g. /dev, /run, etc.) will
    be ignored. This takes precedence over any explicit includes or excludes.
  • The --include-read-only checks for the ro mount option on Linux and the
    read-only mount option on macOS and read-only volumes on Windows. By default
    these file systems will be ignored. The rationale being that if a monitored
    system does not have write access to a file system, it cannot be used to create
    files (not the source of the problem) nor can it be used to clean up the file
    system (not a part of the solution).
  • The --fail-on-error option determines what occurs if the check encounters an
    error, such as permission denied for a file system. If true, the check will
    exit with as a critical failure and provide the error message. If false (the
    defaut), it will specify unknown for that file system, provide the error and
    continue to check the remaining file systems as expected.

Configuration

Asset registration

Sensu Assets are the best way to make use of this plugin. If you're not
using an asset, please consider doing so! If you're using sensuctl 5.13 with
Sensu Backend 5.13 or later, you can use the following command to add the asset:

sensuctl asset add sensu/check-disk-usage

If you're using an earlier version of sensuctl, you can find the asset on the Bonsai Asset Index.
