Check_MK rack1 Mark III - Manual 36 / 61
12. Mounting network file systems
If, e.g., you wish to make a backup on a shared resource, you must first configure the network file system.
The network file system (NFS Version 3), the Windows Shared Resources (Samba or CIFS) and SSHFS
(SFTP) are currently supported.
12.1 Mounting a network file system
In the web user interface's main menu, select the item Manage file systems and from here create a new
file system. Enter an ID that will later be used in devices to identify the file system.
Next select if and how the file system is to be mounted. Recommended is automatic mounting when
accessed and, respectively, automatic unmounting when inactive.
Next configure the type of share to be mounted, and finally, depending on this, the necessary settings
for mounting the share - for example, the file server's network address and the exported file path in the
case of NFS.
Once saved, the newly-configured file system and its current status can be viewed in the file system
management. By clicking on the plug icon you can manually mount the file system to test that the
configuration is correct.
