How to fix netprobe ERROR: DISK: sampling failed for(/opt/vormetric/DataSecurityExpert/agent/secfs/.sec:0:0.000000)”

The Netprobe log is flooded with disk access errors to the following path. This could affect your probe’s performance.

ERROR: DISK: sampling failed for(/opt/vormetric/DataSecurityExpert/agent/secfs/.sec:0:0.000000)

Possible cause:

• The file or directory does not have the proper permissions

Possible solutions:

• Use the ls -l command to check the permissions and ownership. If needed, adjust them using the chown and chmod commands.
• Modify your Disk - Linux sampler. Adding “/opt/vormetric” to the Excluded Partitions section will suffice. The disk plug-in will treat all partitions and directories in the same way. So if you wanted to exclude a partition from the “df” output or from “/etc/mtab”, you could simply add it to the “Exclude partitions” section.

If the problem still occurs, please provide us with the following:

• The output of df -k, mount, /etc/mtab commands
• Is the auto-detect option on the plugin ticked?
• Screenshot of your plugin output in your Geneos dataview.
