W32 IIS W3SVC Perl Script via WMI

[DevilSun]

Make sure you haven't locked down your boxes too tight either, say for instance using IPsec and port blocking etc -- that's all I can really say, I know the script works, unfortunately your WMI isn't happy.

Devil,

About Win2000 Classes for IIS:

Win32_PerfFormattedData_W3SVC_WebService

Could you check it ? i have used wmi tool to extract this info from my
win2000 server. But i cant adapt your script to read this.

Thank you,

Al.

FYI: On my Win2000 servers with IIS installed, the WMI class is Win32_PerfRawData_W3SVC_WebService instead of the one SunDevil is using, which I assume is the class used by Win2k3. It's frusturating that the same application on different platforms uses different locations to provide the same data.

I've also started converting the perl scripts to VBS using cscript, because on my Win2k3 server that is running Cacti they are much faster.

Now both of those are very interesting. At least the class is easy to change, and I have most of these scripts originally in .vbs form from when I ran MRTG. I'll have to try that, thanks for the performance tip...I'll see if it does the same on my end.

hi devilsun,

thanks for giving us cool script


I think I am slowly getting use to cacti,
after long 7 days gap I am back to cacti stuff and luckly found jtb's post and likt to http://forums.cacti.net/viewtopic.php?p=16705 which solved my problem

thanks to you both




its time now to seriously look into cacti source

seems like the graphs are not generating, but I can get the information in command prompt

I guess the perl script was written to work on windows boxs. Tried to get it to work under FC3 and no joy.

Ive imported evrything, and now i getting zeros as graphics!

EDIT:
The graphics are created buth the values are -1 ??

when i run the poller, i see: error Not Enough Arguments


what can i do about it?

hello

Do you scrip work with windows Nt and 2003?

[wgillam]

I know this thread is a bit old but this was driving me nuts and I just found a solution.

I was trying to monitor IIS' Default Web Site and even though the script worked, my graphs were not appearing.

In order for the script to work, the IIS Instance Name cannot have any spaces in it. If you're trying to monitor IIS' "Default Web Site", change its instance name to "DefaultWebSite" and the script will work.

Great script DevilSun!

EDIT: Or you can use single quotes (ex. 'Default Web Site')...

Perhaps this
http://emea.windowsitpro.com/WindowsScr ... 20138.html will show you how to determine the OS type and determine which class to use. Right now I am so lazy that I created two script instead


if somebody work on it great, otherwise I will try to do it sometime.

Does anyone have these Templates for cacti-0.8.6f?

I am trying to monitor a host outside of my network with WMI. I have opened port 161 UDB and port 445 TCP which i found on google. I still cannot access this hosts WMI.

Any ideas?

Thanks

Sounds like you need to open up the correct ports for DCOM.

In a nutshell

The firewall between your server and the Internet should be configured as follows:

Deny all incoming traffic from the Internet to your server.

Permit incoming traffic from all clients to TCP port 135 (and UDP port 135, if necessary) on your server.

Permit incoming traffic from all clients to the TCP ports (and UDP ports, if necessary) on your server in the Ports range(s) specified above.

If you are using callbacks, permit incoming traffic on all ports where the TCP connection was initiated by your server.

Hey DevilSun, great script. I have one question for you, I have hundreds of sites on each web server, is it possable to monitor all of the connections, and not just one instance?

Thanks Snoop
