Exchange 2003 scripts from Windows Cacti

[sadamu0614]

Of course it has !
Starting per Cron every 5 Minutes !
Running as Domain-Admin !

Is there a way to enable more debugging for DataInputMethods ?!
So I am able to see, whats returned by the script started from scheduler ?

Regards

Ok - do you have this particular problem with any other (if applicable) PERL scripts running on your CACTI system ? Does your SPINE binary reside in C:\cygwin\bin ? I had this issue myself, and resolved it by placing the SPINE binary and conf file in this directory.

[sadamu0614]

Okay, great tip !

Is working now !

Was still using cactid !
Now using spine and copied all files to cygwin-bin !

thx

I noticed that the DB Stats didn't seem right... So I change the script to pull the raw data instead of the formatted data. It seems closer to what it should be.

[jzondor]

Woops... forgot to change the data template -> data source type to a counter...

This also eliminates the need to divide by 100000.

Strange one happening with me....

Setup as per edgonz instructions. I can run the query perl windows_exchangemessages.pl servername and i get the result:

MB_MsgsSubmitted:93 MB_MsgsDelivered:14996 MB_MsgsSent:93 SMTP_MsgBytesReceived:
27507381 SMTP_MsgBytesSent:3286685 SMTP_MsgsDelivered:14963 SMTP_MsgsReceived:74
14 SMTP_MsgsSent:74

But the graphs in cacti are still blank... Can anyone point me in the right direction to try and fix this?

thanks for your time.

Does anyone have any ideas why I would not be able to find the

Win32_PerfRawData_MSExchangeIS_MSExchangeISMailbox

class on my exchange server? I can see the

Win32_PerfRawData_SMTPSVC_SMTPServer

class and return data from it fine.

Server is Server 2003 R2 SP2 running Exchange 2003.

Also in the Exchange (Messages) graph, I am getting data graphed for the Win32_PerfRawData_SMTPSVC_SMTPServer data, but the values are not displayed below the graph. Any suggestions on what to look at?

[widde]

That's totally not the case.
Sorry, guys.
I'm giving this up and sticking to switches, Linux boxes and networking stuff for Cacti and searching for the SNMP OIDs.
Completely screw WMI and OLE.

Don't give up that quick. How about this link?

http://www.perlmonks.org/?node_id=430194

Getting that damn Perl Script over wine. I will give it a try, but my linux capabilitys are not that good So lets see. I will post my findings.

DAP,
i am getting a warning.
03/12/2006 09:55:18 PM - CACTID: Poller[0] Host[10] DS[128] WARNING: Result from SCRIPT not valid. Partial Result: ...

should make my time out longer?

Hi there, I've set up Cacti for the very first time (although it appears I may have actually done it mostly right!)...

I get this same result when looking at the log, however, running the scripts returns data.

I looked through the rest of this thread and could not determine if Joex51 was able to get his issue resolved. The user account that runs the scheduled poller is a domain admin.

I've attempted the various WMI commands and opening up WMI access to 'everyone', with no success.

OK

I have find the problem in the template but I can't find how to resolved it!!!

The problem is due to the COMMENT line :

Item # 5 COMMENT: (Total |sum:0:current:0:auto|)<HR> COMMENT AVERAGE
Item # 10 COMMENT: (Total |sum:0:current:0:auto|)<HR> COMMENT AVERAGE
Item # 15 COMMENT: (Total |sum:0:current:0:auto|)<HR> COMMENT AVERAGE
Item # 20 COMMENT: (Total |sum:0:current:0:auto|)<HR> COMMENT AVERAGE
Item # 25 COMMENT: (Total |sum:0:current:0:auto|, COMMENT AVERAGE
Item # 26 COMMENT: |sum:auto:current:1:auto|)<HR>

The problem is the "|" character!!!

Only "(SMTP_MsgsSent): SMTP Msgs Sent and (MB_MsgsSent): MBox Msgs Sent" work!!!

When I remove "|" in the "MB_MsgsDelivered,MB_MsgsSubmitted,SMTP_MsgsDelivered and SMTP_MsgBytesReceiv" the graph appear like in the screenshot.

Do you know how can I resolve this problem??

Thanks a lot for your help.

Best regards.

Hi,

I have solved my problem

I think the problem was due to long name to the output query!!!

I have changed the long name in the script :

from
SMTP_MsgsDelivered
to
SMTP_MsgsDeliv

And make a new graph template, new data input method and new data template.

After this modification, my problem was resolved

Thanks for this template

PS : Sorry for my poor english

[DWAyotte]

I am not having the best of luck with this. I have tried all of the things listed on these 7 pages and I can't seem to get my graphs to show any day.

I can run the perl scripts and get data returned, I see the rrd files created, but my graphs are all empty.

Where should I go from here?

Yup, got exactly the same issue. The only graph that works is the Windows Memory. I can see the scripts are pulling data from both the cacti logs and manually running the scripts and rra's are also being created. But graphs return "0" values.

Thanks in advance.
