Thanks for the tip Doug,
I am running InterMapper server on an OS X G4 that is not running OS X Server so it appears enabling SNMP is not simple.
What is odd is that a G4 Xserve running 10.3.5 Server with Server Admin showing a checkmark next to "Enable SNMP" yet there is no regular SNMP response to the Host Resources Probe! I have used the root password that works with the Xserve probe for the SNMP "Read-Only" Community. Port 161 does not respond to a port scan yet other ports do. That is the box I need to know if the backup drive is getting full so I can backup to tape. The Xserve probe shows disk capacity but of course that never changes.
I would love to know percent of disk capacity used. The "BytesWritten" field seems to stop recording above 2 GB. How can I show or calculate the percent of drive capacity used, with an InterMapper alarm?
Thanks,
Rich Battin
Try the OS X Server Info probe. It shows disk capacity (Total Bytes and Free Bytes).

Excellent, Thanks Tex.
Now I can see those values (Total Bytes and Free Bytes) but when graphed they don't appear right. A 250 GB drive capacity (250,979,549,184 bytes) graphs as about 1.8 GB since the field limit is 2,147,483,647.
I don't really need a graph as much as I would like an alarm when a set percentage is reached, as in the Host Resources Probe. Then I could be emailed when it reached 70%, 80%, 90%, etc.
Thanks --
