Hi Tim, 

thanks for the bug report!

 I presume it's a wraparound, and 5 minutes later I get the clear
 message.  Unfortunately, there are a lot of devices, so I get these
 bogus notifications quite frequently.

I see these too...

 Also, there seems to be missing documentation about how to configure
 the warning threshold in plugins.conf.  I've tried various permutations of
 [diskstats]
 env.latency.*warning [-300:1] etc, but nothing has yet worked for me.

no idea, sorry.


cheers,
Holger

The method for configuring warning and critical levels for each field is
is up to the individual munin plugin.

Some plugins support it, some don't and I don't think many of them use a
common method to do so. The only other place to specify it with some
concistency is on the munin master.

Wildcards are not used, as far as I know, and likely not with
env.something in plugins.conf.

The env.* is a way to make outside data available for the plugins.
env.foo bar sets an environment variable called foo, with the value
bar for the plugin to use. You'd have to read the plugin to check if
it uses any environment variables.
