Monitor Windows Service stats from Linux

[grax]

Why all services i have green (Active)? When i stopped Windows Update Service i have green alltime. hmm help please.

[fourhouses]

Maybe services which you're stopping don't belong to graphs above.
I suggest you test with print spooler, help &techincal service or windows audio.
Additionally, you can check real state using snmpwalk.

Hello,

I used files from cigamit's zip file on page 6. Running Cacti 0.8.7h. Templates imported succesfully. But when i add data query to the host and run verbose Query for Win Services i get following Data Query Debug Information and no Items are added in Status column:

+ Running data query [15].
+ Found type = '6' [Script Query - Script Server].
+ Found data query XML file at '/var/www/html/cacti-0.8.7h/resource/script_server/win_services.xml'
+ XML file parsed ok.
+ <arg_num_indexes> missing in XML file, 'Index Count Changed' not supported
+Executing script for list of indexes '"/usr/bin/php" -q /var/www/html/cacti-0.8.7h/scripts/win_services.php servername 2:161:900:public:::::: index' Index Count: 0
+ Executing script query '"/usr/bin/php" -q /var/www/html/cacti-0.8.7h/scripts/win_services.php servername 2:161:900:public:::::: query index'

Please let me know if i can provide more information to get this issue resolved.

Hello,
Tried to use files from igorx1972 services.rar file at page#9. At this time Verbose Query returns the information below and no Items in Status column:

+ Running data query [15].
+ Found type = '6' [Script Query - Script Server].
+ Found data query XML file at '/var/www/html/cacti-0.8.7h/resource/script_server/win_services.xml'
+ XML file parsed ok.
+ <arg_num_indexes> missing in XML file, 'Index Count Changed' not supported
+ Executing script for list of indexes '"/usr/bin/php" -q /var/www/html/cacti-0.8.7h/scripts/win_services.php servername 2:161:900:public:::::: index' Index Count: 2
+ Found index: ERROR: Invalid Parameters
+ Found index:
+ Executing script query '"/usr/bin/php" -q /var/www/html/cacti-0.8.7h/scripts/win_services.php servername 2:161:900:public:::::: query index'

At the same moment in /etc/httpd/logs/error_log following is logged:

[color=#800080]PHP Warning: Missing argument 2 for win_services() in /var/www/html/cacti-0.8.7h/scripts/win_services.php on line 16
PHP Warning: Missing argument 3 for win_services() in /var/www/html/cacti-0.8.7h/scripts/win_services.php on line 16

PHP Notice: Undefined offset: 3 in /var/www/html/cacti-0.8.7h/scripts/win_services.php on line 52
sh: line 1: 2:161:900:public::::::: command not found

I'm running 0.8.7h. Please advise which way this issue can be fixed.

[4erka]

Running following command manually returns a long list of paramaters without any error:

"/usr/bin/php" -q /var/www/html/cacti-0.8.7h/scripts/win_services.php servername 2:161:900:public:::::: index

What does this mean that i can run command from CLI and get a result but running a verbose query from Device Settings page returns me:

+ Found index: ERROR: Invalid Parameters

Please let me know what additional steps can be done to troubleshoout this issue and get it fixed.

[TheWitness]

There are/were some bugs in H on Windows servers. I prefer to use HMIB to track application use.

[4erka]

Thank you TheWitness for your reply. Having this Template working is one of the requirement for using Manage plugin to work. So there is no way for me to get fully functional Manage plugin on 0.8.7h in this case?

[TheWitness]

Well, seek out Gilles as he owns Manage. All the service/process information is available from HMIB. He might find it so useful that he does a major update to his Manage plugin.

[4erka]

OK, thank you. Will make a post in his "Manage Plugin 0.6.2 for monitoring networks, servers..." topic. Hopefully he has time to make this change.

a moderator of these forums really needs to delete the attachment on page1 and add a note to see page 6 for the download. or some action to prevent confusion with two attachments 5 pages apart.

[computer_guru]

I thought I posted this file yesterday, but it must not have gone through


here is the win_services.php file I am using. It has the substring bug fixed (26 => 25 and 36 =>35) and the index command will show items in alphabetical order.

Can someone say what to write in php script to make changes in servise names:
1. Change ":" symbols to "%"
2. Make URL decode

I fixed your and my problem.
Change the line 80 in win_services.php from

Code: Select all

print $arr_index2[$i] . " !" . $arr[$i] . "\n";

to

Code: Select all

if (strpos($arr[$i], ":") > 0){
print $arr_index2[$i] . " !" . urldecode(str_replace(":", "%", "%" . $arr[$i])) . "\n";
}
else{
print $arr_index2[$i] . " !" . $arr[$i] . "\n";
}

or use the attached file.

Hello I found an other error in the win_services.php.
On query and query index part return is the substring of the oid to long.
I changed it from:

Code: Select all

for ($i=0; $i < sizeof($return_arr); $i++) {
	  if (substr($return_arr[$i]['oid'],0,4) == "SNMP")
	                    print substr($return_arr[$i]['oid'],35) . "\n";
	  else
	                    print substr($return_arr[$i]['oid'],25) . "\n";
}

to

Code: Select all

for ($i=0; $i < sizeof($return_arr); $i++) {
          if (substr($return_arr[$i]['oid'],0,4) == "SNMP")
                            print substr($return_arr[$i]['oid'], 37) . "\n";
          else
                            print substr($return_arr[$i]['oid'], 27) . "\n";
}

I fixed it and now my services shows the correct state.
This works fine for german windows server. Other language version not tested yet.
