How to exclude path based on regex in check_disk?

Question

If I do

/usr/lib64/nagios/plugins/check_disk -w 10% -c 5% -r '/drop-zone/*'

when it only checks paths which matches the regex. I would like the opposite. The manpage seams to suggest -I, but I don't understand how to use it.

Question

How do I make check_disk check all paths except those that match a regex?

Solution

If you read manpage carefully, you can use -A to check all path, then use -I to ignore path that match regex:

/usr/lib64/nagios/plugins/check_disk -w 10% -c 5% -A -I '/drop-zone/*'

This will check all path exclude path that match '/drop-zone/*'.

/drop-zone/* is not a regex.
