At last - Windows Services monitoring with WMI!

[DHornby]

cscript C:/inetpub/wwwroot/cacti/scripts/Win32_Services.vbs vmfileprint01.tsplc.co.uk W32Time, output: U

I'm getting -1 when I run from the command line but the poller log is showing the above error (No returned value)
Scheduled task is running with the highest priveledges! Any ideas?

OK....I've changed back to cmd.php and now get the following in the log

11/20/2009 12:41:01 PM - CMDPHP: Poller[0] Host[2] DS[177] CMD: cscript //nologo C:/inetpub/wwwroot/cacti/scripts/Win32_Services.vbs localhost W32Time, output: -1

Whch is good! BUT I get no graph.

The data source bebug shows this:

d:/rrdtool/rrdtool.exe create \
C:/inetpub/wwwroot/cacti/rra/vmw2k8cacti01_service_state_177.rrd \
--step 60 \
DS:service_state:GAUGE:1201 \
RRA:AVERAGE:0.5:1:500 \
RRA:AVERAGE:0.5:1:600 \
RRA:AVERAGE:0.5:6:700 \
RRA:AVERAGE:0.5:24:775 \
RRA:AVERAGE:0.5:288:797 \
RRA:MAX:0.5:1:500 \
RRA:MAX:0.5:1:600 \
RRA:MAX:0.5:6:700 \
RRA:MAX:0.5:24:775 \
RRA:MAX:0.5:288:797 \

Which looks OK.

But under graph mamagement I get :

d:/rrdtool/rrdtool.exe graph - \
--imgformat=PNG \
--start=-86400 \
--end=-60 \
--title="VMW2K8CACTI01 - Service: W32Time" \

RRDTool Says:

ERROR: the RRD does not contain an RRA matching the chosen CF

Can anybody help! I'm desperate for a way of monitoring certain services atthe moment.

Go to DATASOURCES / RRAs / and click each of the 6 RRA configs. When each one opens, ensure that LAST is selected, and click SAVE

You need to delete the services graph, and recreate it.

If you want an easy fix, go into the Service Graph Template, click each item, and change the Consolidation Function (CF) to AVERAGE from LAST

PS - The Windows Services script and template from Cigamit (Jimmy) is MUCH faster, as it uses SNMP and not WMI.

mcutting........You are an absolute star!!

That worked perfectly! I'll take a look at Cigamits script when I get a chance as well.
