Monitoring TS session on Windows 2003 server with SP1

cotelis · Post by **cotelis** » Fri Jun 17, 2005 6:16 pm

Hi,

I had configured cacti to monitoring the Terminal Server session on Windows 2003, it was working very fine. Recently passed monday, i install the service pack 1 of windows 2003 on the terminal server and the monitoring is not working: the number of terminal server session represented on graphic cacti is not the real number of terminal server session on the terminal server.

Regards
Jose

Looks like the SNMP type changed for that OID from guage to counter.

Change the TS rrd file DS type to a guage. What is it currently using (use rrdtool info to find out)?

What OID are you using to provide you the TS session information?

cotelis · Post by **cotelis** » Wed Jun 22, 2005 3:55 pm

this is a OID that i using:

.1.3.6.1.2.1.25.1.5.0

Just curious, I've never been able to get many of the Host mib counters to work. We had to get SNMPInformant Advanced to let us get to what we wanted.

Did BSOD's recommendation fix your issue?

I ran the snmpget command and got the following result
Q:\>snmpget -c sccgc -v 2c 192.168.103.1 .1.3.6.1.2.1.25.1.5.0
HOST-RESOURCES-MIB::hrSystemNumUsers.0 = Gauge32: 3

Q:\>snmpget -c sccgc -v 2c 192.168.100.64 .1.3.6.1.2.1.25.1.5.0
HOST-RESOURCES-MIB::hrSystemNumUsers.0 = Gauge32: 466

I wonder if the oid .1.3.6.1.2.1.25.1.5.0 represent the windows Terminal service's Session?

Sorry to dig this topic up again

But at the moment I have the same issue.
I am not sure how I can solve this.
I want to get the current number of logged in users.

The data source type is "Gauge".

Has anyone able to solve this or a workaround?

It may be more accurate to get this value via WMI. I think there is a template somewhere on the forums that does this.

Anyone know why MS have not fixed this? Do any of you have access to MS's official bug system?

Same reason Cacti hasn't fixed the supplied load average template - change is bad for existing installs. MS has had borken snmp uptime for years too, but since someone somewhere will be relying on it now, they don't fix it.

Several vendors do that with MIBs - once you have published the OID, you can't really change the type without breaking things for other people, so they just create a new table that does the right thing, instead.

Ya'll need to read the MIB file

hrSystemNumUsers OBJECT-TYPE
SYNTAX Gauge32
MAX-ACCESS read-only
STATUS current
DESCRIPTION
"The number of user sessions for which this host is
storing state information. A session is a collection
of processes requiring a single act of user
authentication and possibly subject to collective job
control."
::= { hrSystem 5 }

I see says the blind man. So, it has nothing to do with the number of Logins, but only what is being managed by the host? I don't know. It sounds like current login sessions as well.

Alright, so conversely, does a Linux system correctly report the hrSystemNumUsers OID?

I don't know.

Does anyone knows a OID that does return the number of users?
