is there an SNMP sensor to monitor inodes?

Votes:

0

Hey, i would like to monitor the inodes on my remote servers and i have snmp currently configured, however when trying to add the inode sensor on these servers in prtg, i could only see ssh inode free and no snmp inodes free, is there a way to add this sensor using snmp instead of ssh?

#inodes #prtg #snmp

The SNMP Linux Disk Free sensor is what you're looking for, although I've had a few issues using it with LVMs (trying to count the inodes of a volume group). For traditional ext2/3/4 partitions it works just fine. Remember to edit your snmpd.conf file so that you can monitor your disks, append the "disk /mypartition" or "includeAllDisks" directive at the end of your config file.
