Hello,

Can hyperic agent able to collect metrics from a server where the "root" FS went to "Read Only" Mode?

I.e will hyperic monitoring works if managed server "root" FS went to "Read Only" Mode?

The agent saves the metric data in the local server under data directory.

This data will be sent to Hyperic server.

Therefore the agent needs write permissions on the local storage.

Can hyperic monitor if filesystem is in "Read Write" mode or not?

If yes, can you provide the details?
