Post by DevilSun »

First off, thanks to Sidewinder...this is my first time working with Perl and Cacti, so his scripts got me off to a great start.

one question: why do you ignore the hostname in the data template?

It's not that I ignore it, I uhh don't know how to use it correctly in the template to pass it along and haven't researched how to do it yet...wanna give a pointer or two? :)

Yes, that is a windows specific moniker. I believe using NSclient or something like that you can query WMI data from *nix distros...do a little searching because I know a few people here are doing it successfully.

just type hostname as special type code in our input field (like you done it) AND:
- leave the custom data field empty
- uncheck the checkbox ("Use Per-Data Source Value (Ignore this Value)")

btw: I got a nice exchange-graph: MAPI RPC Requests and RPC Averaged Latency.. I will publish the template as soon as the hrule-bug (see http://www.raxnet.net/board/viewtopic.php?t=4693) is fixed and after I checked why I get just low values for MAPI RPC Requets.

Nice, and thanks. I had that hostname stuff setup on a few things, just never continueed doing it.

As far as your RPC stuff, I swear I was monitoring the RPC requests as well, and IMO the counter was way off...it rarely ever reported anything and of course since we use all Outlook clients and quite a few of them, 0 or micro results are not correct.

The RPC latency is pretty nice though.
