Exchange 2007 from Linux

Sjoerd · Post by **Sjoerd** » Mon Jun 09, 2008 3:52 am

Couldn’t find any templates for exchange 2007, so I build some myself, based on other templates found in this forum (Thnx DAP & DevilSun)

These templates uses the nagios client, so this version works on linux. It’s build on CactiEZ. Maybe you should change the location to your check_nt binary in the script.
Also, don’t forget to install the NSClient

Check the localtion where your check_nt binary is located, and change it in the script

Here are the scripts. Put these in your <cacti dir>\scripts folder.

Rename to *.pl extension (ie, remove the .txt extension)

Got them working. Don't forget to edit the .pl files for the path to your check_nt. There is also a typo in exchange2007_messages.pl file (incorrect single quote).

A BIG THANKS to Sjoerd for sharing your work.

God bless you man. Thanks a lot. Can´t wait for more scripts for Exchange 2007.

Two questions ... The Spam filters must be placed até the Edge Transport or the Hub Transport role of the exchange ? The memory template must be placed where ? Mine is showing only 0s.

#I´m using NSClient++, is there any problem ?

Thanks and advance and congratulations for the really good work.

Don't know on the spam part as we use a third party product.

My memory graph is reading 0 too. I have not been able to figure out why. When I manually run the perl script I get results back and everything looks correct.

Sjoerd are you still around? Any ideas?

Hi All,
Running 0.8.7b on CentOS 5.1

Having issues with all these templates, no data being displayed in graphs. Just nan's, any ideas??

I can run the scripts on the command line with no issues on data collection.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Anyone get these to work on Windows?

These work great - thank you for sharing them!

A few notes:

*Works fine with Exchange 2007 on Windows Server 2008, just don't forget to open the proper firewall port for NSClient++
*Use the x64 version of NSClient++ (the i386 version will not install on Server 2008 anyway)
*Check data ports - they need to be the same in the scripts, NSClient and the Windows Advanced Firewall
*For the memory graph: Each variable in the Data Template needs to have its Maximum Value upped to something like 100 million. With 8gb of server memory, the default was waaay too low.
*The SMTP_traffic data input method needed a little adjusting for case sensitivity, but that may have been my bad typing when creating the script.
