Network traffic bytes/sec

Post by conrad »

Sorry.... wrong topic i guess.


I'm using mrtg for many years, but always to monitor linux servers.

For the last few days i'm trying to get traffic data from a windows 2008 R2 64 server.

I did install the snmptools, which is working fine. But i don't know how to get the bytes/sec from the server.

I think its maybe not an snmptools issue because when i enter the Performance Monitor i can see the packets/sec and other counters. But the bytes/sec received and sent are 0 (zero).

Does anyone also has this issue? If so what can i do to resolve this issue, or is it another Windows related issue that cannot be resolved. Tried al lot of things but don't know how to get traffic data from the server.

Thanks in advance.

1) I suggest you install the native windows snmp agent.
2) have you added the snmp - interface template to your windows device in Cacti?

Exactly, try this conrad: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/324263

Install the component and the community string. Don''t worry about traps.

Set your host template under the device to "Windows" and click create graphs and see if the nic cards are present. Good luck...
