Description:

def beacon(config):
    r'''
    Monitor the disk usage of the minion

    Specify thresholds for each disk and only emit a beacon if any of them are
    exceeded.

    .. code-block:: yaml

        beacons:
          diskusage:
            - /: 63%
            - /mnt/nfs: 50%

    Windows drives must be quoted to avoid yaml syntax errors

    .. code-block:: yaml

        beacons:
          diskusage:
            -  interval: 120
            - 'c:\\': 90%
            - 'd:\\': 50%

    Regular expressions can be used as mount points.

    .. code-block:: yaml

        beacons:
          diskusage:
            - '^\/(?!home).*$': 90%
            - '^[a-zA-Z]:\\$': 50%

    The first one will match all mounted disks beginning with "/", except /home
    The second one will match disks from A:\ to Z:\ on a Windows system

    Note that if a regular expression are evaluated after static mount points,
    which means that if a regular expression matches another defined mount point,
    it will override the previously defined threshold.
