Icinga Director and disk checks for fuse mountpoints
When I rolled out my new Icinga2 installation, and added disk checks for all laptops, I ran into a small problem: there is a fuse mountpoint for logged in users which only the user can read. Apparently it has something to do with Flatpack.
cat /proc/mounts | grep doc
/dev/fuse /run/user/1000/doc fuse rw,nosuid,nodev,relatime,user_id=1000,group_id=1000 0 0
By default, the Icinga2 ITL has a number of file system types excluded for the "check_disk" check, even some special fuse types, but plain "fuse" is not among them. Kind of makes sense, a fuse mountpoint can be anything, and you don't want to exclude all of them by default.
This results in the following error message when the check is rolled out on our laptops:
Plugin Output
DISK CRITICAL - /run/user/1000/doc is not accessible: Permission denied
Fortunately the fix is rather easy:
Data Field
First this needs a custom data field.
Icinga Director -> Define Data Fields
Create a field with the name "disk_exclude_type", and data type "Array".
Service Template
Then create a new service template.
Icinga Director -> Services -> Service Templates
I named mine "Disk", and the check command is "disk". After saving the template, add an extra field under "Fields": "disk_exclude_type". Save again, go back to "Service" and fill in the types you want to exclude. By default that is:
vars.disk_exclude_type = [
"none",
"tmpfs",
"sysfs",
"proc",
"configfs",
"devtmpfs",
"devfs",
"mtmfs",
"tracefs",
"cgroup",
"fuse.gvfsd-fuse",
"fuse.gvfs-fuse-daemon",
"fdescfs",
"overlay",
"nsfs",
"squashfs"
]
In my case I added "fuse" and "fuse.portal", and the list is now:
vars.disk_exclude_type = [
"none",
"tmpfs",
"sysfs",
"proc",
"configfs",
"devtmpfs",
"devfs",
"mtmfs",
"tracefs",
"cgroup",
"fuse.gvfsd-fuse",
"fuse.gvfs-fuse-daemon",
"fdescfs",
"overlay",
"nsfs",
"squashfs",
"fuse",
"fuse.portal"
]
Store everything again, and start using the Service Template in your checks. The errors should go away once the check runs for the first time.
