I managed to get WebYaST up and running. All modules except ‘Roles’ are working fine but the service keeps filling my log file /var/log/messages with lines like these:

It has no influence on the tool itself, I can use it the way it is intended to be used, but this makes finding error in de log file from other services hard to find.
Googled for a solution or root cause but could not find any.
Let me say that with openSUSE version 12.2 I also gave this application a try and it is obvious it has several problems. Since you have a GUI and CLI YaST version, I decided I did not need a third and unloaded it all. If you really want to use this, I suggest you learn all you can about it and start posting bug reports on its function here: Bugzilla Main Page You never know, it might become a great feature in our net openSUSE 12.3 version. But until then, I can’t recommend you waste any effort trying to use WebYaST.
1 - Edit “/etc/collectd.conf” and comment the “LoadPlugin df” (mine is on line 72). This way the DF Plugin from collectd will not be loaded.
2 - Edit “/etc/collectd.conf” and validate and activate de “df” plugin, by editing the “<Plugin df>” tag with valid parameters. I added my “/home” partition and got rid from WebYast and df rrdtool messages.
