[opennms-discuss] Windows servers uptime values

[James Z. <Jam...@ci...>]

I seem to be getting crazy large values for uptime on my windows servers
with 1.5.93.

With my 1.2.9 installation I had edited datacollection-config.xml to
poll .1.3.6.1.2.1.1.3.0 for uptime values.  Those values agreed with
perfmon and systeminfo.

The 1.5.93 installation is polling OID 1.3.6.1.2.1.25.1.1, which results
in values about (but not quite) twice as large.

The second OID is correct for Linux and AIX machines on our network, but
definitely not for Server 2003 or Server 2008.

With 1.2.9 it was easy to drop in the Windows uptime graph because 1.2.9
was not collecting any of the net-snmp OIDs for Windows servers.  So I
could name the rrd the same as the net-snmp rrd, and the graph would
magically appear.

What would be the best way of replacing that OID for just windows
machines?

I am thinking that I have to pull the net-snmp include out of the
Windows section, and then copy-paste the guts of the section back in
with the OID that I want to change edited.

Is there an easier way? (Or better yet, am I the only one seeing strange
uptime numbers on my Windows servers?)
