How can I tune monitoring/notifications?

volvo64 · Feb 25th 2020

Title says all- the monitoring defaults are way too ambitious. I'm overloaded with emails about my poor, overburdened RPi 4, but I can't get the emails to stop. I know it's overburdened. It's still running just fine. I'm not going to change anything, and it's going to be overburdened until I get my initial 2.6tb rsync to finish, which will be another week at least.

I'm comfortable changing config files. How can I get the monitoring to quiet down for a while?

You can turn of individual notifications in the 'Notifications' tab.

You can also turn of monitoring in the 'Monitoring' page.

thanks I know I can turn it off but how can I tune the notifications so they’re more useful to me?

What do you mean with tune?

I want to change the notification thresholds so that it triggers alerts at a higher level, or after more time at the current level.

Here are the related Salt states which show you the OMV environment variables that can be used to customize OMV related to monit. Please also check the monit manual what the values are for.

https://github.com/openmediava…/services/files/system.j2
https://github.com/openmediava…vices/files/filesystem.j2

Check out https://openmediavault.readthe…ml#environmental-variable how to use them.

In OMV5 you need to apply then via

Bash

# omv-salt stage run prepare
# omv-salt deploy run monit
