Linux to Windows WMI Plugin - Beta

[russell.seymour]

Hello everyone,

I am still having problems when the system attempts to call the template, as I have described above.

Does anyone have a working template that I can test with?

I created the bug that mcutting referenced, but I think something is wrong with the bugs system as I get a database error.

I really love the idea of this plugin and my thanks go to cigamit - it is just at the moment I cannot get it to run.

Any help appreciatively recieved,

Russell

Just in case anyones still having problems getting a basic graph working correctly (or just needs a couple as a referance) heres a couple for you.

1. Disk Read Per Sec Graph
2. Mailbox Messages Per Store Graph

Copy win_disk_read_write_persec.xml and exchange_messages.xml to your resource/script_server folder

Import the graphs the normal cacti way.

edit the wmi-script.php and change the third from last line echo to a return so it looks like this:

return $wmi->fetch_value($arg1, $arg2);

Hope this help

I need the version for SLES 10.

Thanks!

wmic linux binaries are provided, if they don't work in SLES10 for whatever reason, you can compile them yourself as wmic is an open source project.

Thanks! I had downloaded "CactiWMI-0.0.6.r101.tar" from another thread and that just had the php script in it. I'll download the zip from the first post of this thread for wmic.

I have a newer version of libgnutls.so. installed, but your version keeps wanting that one. I tried to compile from the source on SLES 10, but the configure step keeps failing with:

./build/smb_build/main.pl: can't open 'heimdal_build/perl_path_wrapper.sh asn1_deps.pl heimdal/lib/hdb/hdb.asn1 hdb_asn1 heimdal/lib/hdb |' at build/smb_build/config_mk.pm line 197.

[stormonts]

Yes, I need it.

feature request for cigamit--there are a lot of WMI knobs that are not in the default namespace, so being able to specify a different namespace is going to be needed for this to be usable beyond perfmon data. I know perfmon is the 99% thing, but still... just a simple thing like [X] use default namespace with root/cimv2 default value vs enabled edit box to type one in and pass the value on to --namespace parameter.

thanks!

Good idea, I will put it on my long list of things to fix.

Anyone have templates to share? I'm looking for queries for CPU and Memory usage. Thanks in advance.

I had to change some permissions to allow execution for it to run because some files had rw-rw-rw as permission. I kept getting the error
can't open 'heimdal_build/perl_path_wrapper.sh too. I also had to run dos2unix on some files because I kept getting the error /bin/sh^M:

I did the following commands inside the wmi directory

chmod 775 -R Samba/source
dos2unix Samba/source/*

Some files will not convert but you don't have to worry about that. It installed fine after this.

Thank you cigamit for this plugin.

Good evening,

I installed CactiEZ 0.6, configured WMI, got a good query all going fine:

Code: Select all

+ Running data query [10].
+ Found type = '6 '[script query].
+ Found data query XML file at '/var/www/html/resource/script_server/exchange_messages.xml'
+ XML file parsed ok.
+ Executing script for list of indexes '/usr/bin/php -q /var/www/html/scripts/wmi-script.php shenton02.shenton.wa.edu.au 3 exchangemessages index'
+ Executing script query '/usr/bin/php -q /var/www/html/scripts/wmi-script.php mail.shenton.wa.edu.au 3 exchangemessages query index'
+ Found item [StoreName='FirstStorageGroup-MailboxStoreMAIL'] index: FirstStorageGroup-MailboxStoreMAIL
+ Found item [StoreName='_Total'] index: _Total
+ Found data query XML file at '/var/www/html/resource/script_server/exchange_messages.xml'
+ Found data query XML file at '/var/www/html/resource/script_server/exchange_messages.xml'
+ Found data query XML file at '/var/www/html/resource/script_server/exchange_messages.xml'
+ Found data query XML file at '/var/www/html/resource/script_server/exchange_messages.xml'

But when i try to graph the query, the poller never creates the rrd.
I've got other, non-wmi queries running fine.

In the poller logs, there's no mention of the WMI scripts..

I'm lost, can anyone point me in the right direction?

I've checked:

Permissions,
Paths,
Cleared Poller Cache,
Set Debug Mode for More Information

If anyone is able to help, this would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers
