HOW TO Monitor Exchange 2003 via NSClient++ on FreeBSD

[joejoe]

I would like to monitor Exchange 2003 information, diskio (each disk), CPULOG (each CPU), mailbox store and other performance information

EX: http://forums.cacti.net/viewtopic.php?t=30438

But, I can not find wmic on freebsd, who could provide relevant Scripts and Templates use NSClient++

I already use the script, but the script can't monitoring system performance EX: CPULOAD, Disk Reads.

Those scripts are fairly easy to modify, just open up the performance counters on the machine, find the ones you want and modify the script and make a new graph template.

But I can not find parameters of check_nt
EX: I would COUNTER Disk Writes Bytes\sec I use

Code: Select all

`$CheckNTPath/check_nt -H $ARGV[0] -p 1248 -v COUNTER -l "\\PhysicalDisk(Total_)\\Disk Writes Bytes\sec"`

But always shows 0

Where can I find the parameters ?

That's because you have your counters wrong. Under The Peformance monitor in Windows, once you add it to your graph, you have to right click on it in the bottom to get the actual counter.

this works:

Code: Select all

#!/usr/bin/perl

# Replace '/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_nt' with the localtion where your check_nt binary is located

$CheckNTPath='/usr/local/nagios/libexec';

$diskio = `$CheckNTPath/check_nt -H $ARGV[0] -p 1248 -v COUNTER -l "\\PhysicalDisk(_Total)\\Disk Writes/sec"`;
chomp $diskio;

print "diskio:" . $diskio ."\n";

Where is the-l parameters of a more detailed explanation?

Honestly, I don't recall. I remember reading about it years ago when I first started with nsclient and check_nt, but I don't remember. I just know it has to be there.

Just follow my example there and the other examples from other threads and you should be able to figure it out.
