I wouldn’t modify the original check_mk_agent because the changes won’t survive an update. My suggestion would be to either completely disable the output of the section <<<df_v2>>>
. This can be done by creating the file /etc/check_mk/exclude_sections.cfg
with the content MK_SKIP_DF=yes
. In this case the whole function section_df()
is not called. Of course, you must then supply your own version of that function in a separate plugin below /usr/lib/check_mk_agent/plugins/
.
The simpler (and preferred) approach is to put an own plugin in /usr/lib/check_mk_agent/plugins/
which simply adds the data that is missing from the built-in section <<<df_v2>>>
:
#!/usr/bin/env bash
echo '<<<df_v2>>>'
df -PTlk --type devtmpfs | sed 1d
echo '[df_inodes_start]'
df -PTli --type devtmpfs | sed 1d
echo '[df_inodes_end]'
In this example df
will only process filesystems of type devtmpfs
(as an example). checkmk will merge the original section df_v2
and your section df_v2
into one big section on the server side. The check plugin won’t even notice.
But be aware that the -l
option to the df
means local filesystems only. The problem is that df
will hang for ages if a remote filesystem is not accessible.
