Re: [Devmon] Devmon/Nagios/Nsclient

[<joh...@ac...>]

Thanks for the reply but...

I am using the win2k3server template but it lacks what I am trying to
get from the windows servers.  I also have bbwin installed and it
doesn't appear that I can use it to provide the perfmon data (that I
know of).

Although Cacti is able to retrieve disk queue length from
Nagios/Nsclient via snmp I figure there must be a way for devmon to also
get this information.  But, the problem is I don't know exactly how
Cacti is able to get the perfmon data through snmp/nagios/nsclient.
There doesn't appear to be a specific OID for this information so I
wonder how Cacti gets it and how to have devmon collect it also.

Thanks,

John

If the data is available via SNMP, you can do it with devmon. If not,
devmon 
can't help you.

Have you looked at the microsoft-win2k3server template in svn:

http://devmon.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/devmon/trunk/templates/microsof
t-
win2k3server/

With the template (and some configuration of Xymon), you should be able
to get:
-Graphs of CPU utilisation (per CPU) (I might not have enabled
thresholds here 
yet)
-Graphs of disk space utilisation with thresholds
-Graphs of network utilisation per interface (with utilisation)
-Graphs of memory utilisation (just "real" and "swap", this is what is 
available by snmp)
-Services which are running

In future I would like to add per-process resource utilisation - for
Unix and 
Windows - (but, this requires some development in devmon).

Additional templates should be possible for any other services that
provide 
monitoring information via SNMP, as far as I know, Exchange and MSSQL
server 
should be able to.

Of course, you could just use BBWin ...
