[rancid] Suppress disk space usage output

[Eric]

Rancid is notifying me every night that my Brocade load balancers have
slightly less free space available due to their local system log increasing
in size. Is there a way to tell it to not check for disk usage or suppress
this output? Thanks.

You need to edit the brocade rancid file, find the stanza where it collects that config information (usually preceeded by a series of ! or other comment characters near the beginning of the section in the output that gives you a clue, you can search for this in the rancid file.)

Then, where you see the rest of the 'next if' lines add another one that matches the line you want to elide from the output. It's pretty easy. (see the archives for more examples of this. It's an FAQ)

I tried looking in http://www.shrubbery.net/rancid/FAQ and couldn't find
anything relevant. Can you tell me the name of the file that I should be
looking at editing or point me to a URL that could help? Thanks.
