SOPHOS UTM Disk IO loop and Disk IO ram

[nigelc]

Hi, all my SOPHOS UTM firewalls are fine on 1.6.0p18 with around 18 checks but on 2.1 they all are giving lots of these Disk IO loop and Disk IO ram results along with the 18 checks. Any idea why?

Thanks

Nigel

Your Sophos is a “normal” Linux system with SNMP enabled. These Disk IO checks you would also receive on every Linux with SNMP.
With devices like your Sophos, I create two rules for “Ignored services”

First rule
Service name is → “Disk IO sd[a-z]$” - Negative match (important)
Second rule
Service name begins with → “Disk IO” - Positive match (default value)

Now you should only see the real disk devices with the IO check.

Perfect, thank you so much.
