Issue/Introduction

We are unable to exclude Specific File systems from CDM Probe and that file system is an NFS File system and it is getting mounted and Demounted. Hence it is triggering a lot of alerts.

Environment

Release : 20.3

Component : UIM - CDM WITH IOSTAT

Cause

- cdm configuration (regex)

Resolution

In the cdm.cfg there was a missing slash at the end of the regex and a slash instead of a pipe after /proc)

ignore_filesystem = /(\/mnt)|(\/cdrom)|(\/proc)/(\/var/rubrik)

Changed that to:

ignore_filesystem = /(\/mnt)|(\/cdrom)|(\/proc)|(\/var/rubrik)/

Delete the file systems from cdm GUI.

Restart cdm.

Issue resolved.
