For a complete monitoring perl-written solution, see munin. It draws nice graphs, too. | [reply] |

You can use Filesys::DiskSpace, the Perl df. See howto-write-perl-script-to-monitor-disk-space for ideas.
Drumming up your own solution with the Unix df command is only 10 lines of code or so. You could use something like sendmail to notify you if the disk space reaches a certain threshold. No experience with 'munin', scanning through the documentation it seems like everything but the kitchen sink.
But what can your ETL tooling do for you? The ETL tools I worked with also produced useful statistics. Things like throughput, disk space requirements etc. Maybe this is something to look into.

Thanks I have whiped up a `df -k` solution, but Filesys::DiskSpace looks to be more robust. Other folks are watching the ETL jobs, I'm just trying to fill in the gaps.
BTW does anyone know how to configure Linux sendmail to use a Yahoo POP3 account?

Did you run h2ph?
no
So I am trying Filesys::DfPortable...
Not sure if that will bring relief, from the documentation:
The module should work with all versions of Windows (95 and up), and with all flavors of Unix that implement the statvfs or the statfs calls...
Did you install the module properly? What Unix do you use? I'm on Linux Redhat.

Something like collectd with the DF plugin?
(Nothing Perl related here, except that collectd allows you to write plugins in Perl).
(Update: I linked to the wrong plugin first) | [reply] |

AFAIK. Don't depend on df, sometimes it will get updated lately. go for some other alternatives. sometimes if you issue df it won't return immediately

Thanks all for the tips. That's bad news of df. Are there any alternatives to df? I'm probably going to have to roll my own solution since I'm not an admin on the box.
