The code is modular, so you can easly monitor other parameters, using any exotic protocol you can talk using perl, while mantaining the high performance multithreaded monitoring.

If you have >200 hosts and little time to monitor them (30 seconds) this is what you need.

They will still alarm at the default of 90% for yellow and 95% for red. Filesystems in bb-dftab without extra fields will still alarm at the given percent. If you add two addtional fields they will specify the number of KB to alarm at. For example

/bubba:100:100:2097152:1048576

/bubba will go yellow if it has < 2GB free and red if it has < 1GB free.
