Monitor Windows via WMI from Cacti on Linux

Can't you install it from source? Someone posted a link to the source package two posts up.

(Linux n00b) If I learn how to install from source, then I will try it.
I found this deb package: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/jaunty/i38 ... 1:0.1.12-1
Hoping that will work.

You're never going to learn as long as you're depending upon packages that others have built. Ya gotta start somewhere.

I'm having the exact same problem as spdrmonkey (quoted below). That link is no longer available but version 1.3.0 is at: http://dev.zenoss.org/svn/trunk/inst/externallibs/

This is the lastest source package for WMI
http://dev.zenoss.org/svn/trunk/inst/ex ... .9.tar.bz2

Has anyone had any luck with getting the above to compile? I have found multiple posts to deal with the first error of

./autogen.sh: running script/mkversion.sh
./script/mkversion.sh: 'version.h' created for Samba("4.0.0tp4-SVN-build-UNKNOWN")
./autogen.sh: running autoheader -I. -Ilib/replace

starting at line 174 of Samba/source/lib/replace/autoconf-2.60.m4

but now I have :

It seems from my searching that it has to do with the version of autoconf and m4. Would someone that got this to compile please post their versions of those packages? Thanks.

I'm having an issue running wmic. I'm using Ubuntu Server 9.1.
Linux version 2.6.28-13-server (buildd@vernadsky) (gcc version 4.3.3 (Ubuntu 4.3.3-5ubuntu4) ) #45-Ubuntu SMP Tue Jun 30 20:51:10 UTC 2009

Here's the output I get when trying to execute it:

Any idea's?

Hi

Hope you guys can help me, I have installed everything, but the only thing give me anything back is the disk space graph. Does anyone know why this would be? None of the other graphs has anything in them. It also works from the command line.

Hi,
i use cacti with wmic for graphing windows machine. I have problem - graphs work only several minutes. After several minutes - sometimes 5 minutes, sometimes half an hour, sometimes an hour - graphs not work - see pictures... when i tried wmiadap.exe /f on destination system graph work, but just as I said up. any help?

Is the user your running the query as an admin? E.g. the service account or whatever you have setup to query the windows box? I found a similar problem when monitoring a clustered SQL server. For some reason the shared disks would stop responding after a few minutes unless run as admin. I never really figured out why as the non-admin user with appropriate permissions to query everything else worked fine for local/non shared disk.

Hi,

I'm trying to get the network interface graph running.

Code: Select all

/usr/bin/php -q /usr/share/cacti/site/scripts/wmi.php -h '192.168.1.241' -u '/etc/cacti/cactiwmi.pw' -w 'Win32_PerfRawData_Tcpip_NetworkInterface' -n '' -k 'Name' -v 'Intel[R] PRO_1000 XT Network Connection' -c 'BytesReceivedPersec,BytesSentPersec,BytesTotalPersec'

Is what it's putting through the script, and

Code: Select all

BytesReceivedPersec:3136588374
BytesSentPersec:364709179
BytesTotalPersec:3501297553 Name:Intel[R]_PRO_1000_XT_Network_Connection

is what is coming out of it, Now the server isn't doing any traffic at the moment and it's only on a 10/100 port, so pushing 2GB+ of data per sec seems a bit off???

Plus it's not updating the graph properly even with the dodgy data?



Any help would be greatly appreciated with this

This is the main file server and i need to make sure it's able to cope with the new roaming profiles.

Is this a template you created? I didn't think I had one for network. Can you provide more info about the template? Is the data source set as a gauge or a counter?

Hi Folks,

Just wondering if there is something tricky that needs to be done getting the plugin to work with 0.8.7e on CentOS 5.3. I have everything installed, I can query servers using wmic from the command line. I have enabled the plugin by editing the plugins.php. But when I try to edit or add a device I'm getting the 'Error: Save Failed' message, I can't seem to find any reason why its happening.

Chris

[claymen]

Ahh, I think you are confusing the plugin with this script. Two entirely separate projects but both rely on the linux wmi client.

[chrisru]

Now I'm totally lost.. I was attempting to get CactiWMI-0.0.6.r101 working which I got from page 1 on this thread. Is there another script?

[claymen]

Well that one you just posted is the script I wrote. But you were talking about a plugin and editing the plugins php file which is not my script. That and your having the exact error you get when using the existing plugin without the extra fixes applied to it.
