fs devmap seems all or nothing

H-Sachse opened this issue · comments

the <devmap> list in the <fs> section seems to be an all or nothing parameter.
I have the situation on a raspberry pi that without the devmap, the root mount did not show I/O activity, because the device for "/" is listed as /dev/root.
So I added a devmap entry for / to map to /dev/mmcblk0p2, which then showed I/O activity, but the other usb drives, that showed I/O activity before, then all had no activity shown.
Commenting out the mapping for "/" then showed I/O activity for the usb disks, but none for root.

It would be nice if only problematic mounts needed to be mapped manually, and those FSes without mappings would be treated as normal.

Yes, that's the idea. This is exactly how it should work.
Can you, please, paste here your entire <fs> section and your /proc/diskstats?

Here's the <fs>-section

<fs>
        <list>
                0 = /, /boot, /mnt/WD20EARX-2TB-SN11, /mnt/WD20EARX-2TB-SN91, /mnt/WD30PURX-3TB-SNC3
        </list>
        <desc>
        </desc>
        <devmap>
                #/ = mmcblk0p2  
        </devmap>
        rigid = 2, 0, 2, 0
        limit = 100, 1000, 100, 1000
        <alerts>
        </alerts>
</fs>

and /proc/diskstats

and the output of df:

The df output looks incomplete, I don't see the / file system listed.
Also the last disk in your <fs> section has an incomplete name.

Fixed my comment.

OK, now I'd need to see the error messages in the Monitorix log file. Please, restart Monitorix and paste here all the lines in the log file that appeared after your made the restart.

here's a log with the map disabled:

right now it is logging both / and the other fses, but the following graph shows the issue I had:
image
on saturday I had the map enabled and it only logged for "/" but not for the "mnt" fses

I'l leave it running with the map for "/" enabled and see what happens.

I've setup a similar configuration here where root filesystem is /dev/root and after mapping the correct drive in <devmap>:

        <devmap>
                / = sda3
        </devmap>

all is working fine. The rest of drives are reporting I/O stats in the graph without any problem.

I see that you have two extra configuration files:

Tue Feb 15 17:58:34 2022 - Loading extra configuration file '/etc/monitorix/conf.d/00-debian.conf'.
Tue Feb 15 17:58:34 2022 - Loading extra configuration file '/etc/monitorix/conf.d/10-avconvpi.conf'.

If you are modifying the main configuration file, then make sure you have not defined another <fs> section in those extra files that is overriding your settings.

The monitorix.conf is the one that came with the debian packkage. I only edit 10-avconvpi.conf so a package update does not kill my settings.

I'll close this now. Seems the issue is no longer there. No idea what the reason for the initial malfunction might have been.

That's indeed the correct way to configure Monitorix.

OK, thanks anyway for your feedback.
