(newbie) VMware cacti appliance with W2K3 servers

Post by jantje.vlaam »

I'm running Cacti on a preconfigured VMware appliance.

Virtual Appliances Cacti 1.1RC1 (build 207)
Updated: June 07 2008

Updates available at virtualappliances.net

This works great, i can see the local host and all it's nice graphs.

I have a rack full of Windows 2003 servers and would like to create a nice dashboard so i can monitor them from my office.

I installed net-snmp on one W2K3 server, created the conf file and data is coming in.

There is the problem, i can only see the network cards. There is no info from the CPU, the memory or the harddrives.

Can anyone point me to where to look?

You should be installing the microsoft snmp agent instead. Also look at the snmp-informant products, which enable more data via snmp.

I tried that but got no answer from my server. With Net-snmp í'm only getting the NIC info.

Thats because you probably didn't configure it. You must enable the various agents, set a public community and allowed hosts.
