What is monitoring-plugins-btrfs
monitoring-plugins-btrfs is:
This nagios compatible monitoring plugin will check available space and error statistics of a btrfs filesystem.
Traditional space usage monitoring based on the output of df is not sufficient when using btrfs. This plugin takes allocated but unused disk space, and unallocatable disk space (for example when mixing different sized disks with raid profiles) into account. It is meant to be used as an addition to using a regular disk usage plugin, based on df output.
