Cirrusarg-ex-out using over half of space on partition
Hi,
I'm getting the error message, that my F5 has 0% free space - this sucks. I've noticed that this space is used mostly by /var partition:
/dev/mapper/vg--db--sda-set.12--hf1._var

CirrusThe fun part here was that the script arg_example appended to a file which grew overtime to almost 2 gigs.
I suck at perl, and had no idea why this particular pool needed such monitor. However some of it was readable, and in the end I changed ">>" to ">" which limited the file size to around 460b.
I tried to do the math how long did the script run, but my calculator gave up and I'm too lazy :)
BTW - this script was provided by F5 (i guess it comes with the box), so perhaps someone else could benefit from this solution.
Cheers

Yes, as the name suggest that is an example showing how to use an external monitor. There are other 2 examples.
See the folder:
/config/monitorsThat script does not do any monitor. It basically always marks up.
Unless for some crazy reason you need a monitor that always result to up, it is safe to remove that.
The >> is to append, while > overwrites the file.
