I am trying to convert from Solarwinds NPM to PRTG. I have snmpd configured on my RHEL AS3 boxes. When I try to add the "SNMP Linux Disk Free" sensor to my host I don't see anything available to monitor. In Solarwinds I can monitor / , /boot , etc.... I assume that it is using the Host Resources MIB. When I import that mib into PRTG as a library I can see hrStorageUsed etc... but I don't want to have to do a sensor factory sensor for every disk on every linux server. Is there something I am missing?
Why can't I see Linux disks through SNMP

In order to monitor SNMP-based Disk Space sensors you require entries similar to the one listed below in the /etc/snmp/snmpd.conf file:
# disk PATH [MIN=DEFDISKMINIMUMSPACE] # # PATH: mount path to the disk in question. # MIN: Disks with space below this value will have the Mib's errorFlag set. # Default value = DEFDISKMINIMUMSPACE. # Check the / partition and make sure it contains at least 10 megs. disk / 10000
Extracted from the snmpd.conf:
Disk Usage Monitoring:
This requires that the agent was built with support for the ucd-snmp/disk module (which is included as part of the default build configuration).
disk PATH [ MINSPACE | MINPERCENT% ]
monitors the disk mounted at PATH for available disk space.
