[SOLVED] W2K3 SNMP OID's for Mem Pages/sec & Avg Disk Qu

[Brashquido]

Hi All,

Trying to graph the memory pages/sec and average disk queue length values using the generic OID template and the following Microsoft OID's;

memoryPagesPerSec .1.3.6.1.4.1.311.1.1.3.1.1.1.9

pdiskAvgDiskQueueLength .1.3.6.1.4.1.311.1.1.3.1.1.4.1.5

The graphs are created ok, however no data is ever collected for these OID's and I get the following errors in my Cacti log when set to debug level logging;

CMDPHP: Poller[0] Host[2] DS[100] SNMP: v1: 127.0.0.1, dsname: snmp_oid, oid: .1.3.6.1.4.1.311.1.1.3.1.1.1.9, output: U

CMDPHP: Poller[0] Host[2] DS[103] SNMP: v1: 127.0.0.1, dsname: snmp_oid, oid: .1.3.6.1.4.1.311.1.1.3.1.1.4.1.5, output: U

Obviously there is a problem with the output, however I don't know why as these seem to be the corred OID's in Microsoft's MIB for the items I want to monitor. Any ideas, or is there some sort of issue using Microsoft OID's with Cacti?

You need to verify the server(s) actually respond to those OIDs first, before cacti can attempt to collect data. I suggest GetIf or net-snmp snmpwalk.

That will probably be it then as neither GetIF or snmpwalk seem to get any response from those OID's (or anything from the WINDOWS-NT-PERFORMANCE MIB). For some reason I made the assumption that being a Windows 2003 server, and using the Microsoft SNMP agent I would have access to the WINDOWS-NT-PERFORMANCE MIB. Looks like I'll have to install snmp-informant or find some other method to monitor these metrics. Thanks for the reply
