Monitoring file system and cleanup with puppet

[moons...@gmail.com]

Hi All,

Is there any way we can monitor the file system (disk usage percentage) and if it cross >90% run a particular script to purge it without using nagios in puppet?

Thanks,

[Lowe Schmidt]

No, and you should probably not use Puppet to try and solve that kind of problem.

You could probably write a script and run it from cron if you need a quick ad hoc solution.

Please let me know what all the things we can monitor with puppet. Other than automation of deployments.

Thanks,

Puppet is not a monitoring tool, it's a configuration tool.

It can do some things that might, at first glance, look like monitoring (i.e. check current system state), but this is only as a side effect of that information being necessary to confirm that the configuration is correct.
