[solved] Monitoring Squid on Windows

[Robbo]

Hello

I have installed Cacti on one of our windows servers here and it is working perfectly, strangely enough I've managed to dodge the issues of permissions, graphs not working or anything; which isn't normally like me as I tend to find new and interesting ways of breaking things

That aside I'm having a very interesting time trying to figure out my latest quandry. I have a windows server here running Squid as a caching proxy

Said server has been configured with windows SNMP and default settings

I have several graphs working using snmp_informant data queries to get things like cpu usage, memory usage, disk usage etc

My problem comes back to squid, which has its own seperate configuration for SNMP. If I enable SNMP for squid, it crashes SNMP for windows as they both try to use the same port. If SNMP for squid isnt configured, I cant get any of its OIDs through windows SNMP

I have had a bit of a look around and I've been happy using SNMP over WMI for windows monitoring as the templates and queries have just worked and I havent needed to mess around with them much

Can I configure a seperate SNMP query over a different port?

Can I configure a seperate SNMP query over a different port?

You'll need to create another device in cacti specifying that alternative SNMP port.

Thanks BSOD2006

Now that I look at it, its so simple its obvious

I have reconfigured my Squid and put in a new device for it and that seems to work fine now

I didnt realise you could have multiple devices with the same IP address

Many Thanks
