snmp Linux disk free channel names?

Votes:

0

I wanted to adjust the channel names in the snmp linux disk free sensor so they display the mount point instead of the device id.

Going back to the status screen shows that all the channels I renamed now have no data receiving and all new channels were created for the device id's again. ??

Am I not able to rename the channel for some reason?

Thanks, Chuck

Entering a new channel name does not replace the name of the old channel, seeing as channels (per ID) cannot be deleted / modified. Entering a new name adds a new channel. As such, I'm afraid that yes, it is not possible to change the channel name.

OK, maybe you guys should make that field also unable to edit like the ID. ;-)

Now I have these extra channels I've added but no way to delete them without doing the whole sensor over again.
