Monitor Windows Service stats from Linux

[qishine]

I have another problem, cacti A (CentOS 6.3 x64 + Cacti 0.8.8a ), it seems missing some MIBS

/usr/bin/php -q /var/www/cacti/scripts/win_services.php compuerFQDN public 2 2 index

it will get

19.101.114
14.118.101.114
16.108.111.103.111.110

But on another cacti B (CactiEZ 0.8.8a)

it returns
5.80.111.119.101.114
6.83.101.114.118.101.114
8.78.101.116.108.111.103.111.110

the red part missing on Cacti A, this caused it get status failed

[root@cacti-win ~]# /usr/bin/php -q /var/www/cacti/scripts/win_services.php serverFQDN public 2 2 get servstate 19.101.114
Error in packet
Reason: (noSuchName) There is no such variable name in this MIB.
Failed object: .1.3.6.1.4.1.77.1.2.3.1.2.19.101.114

0[root@cacti-win ~]# /usr/bin/php -q /var/www/cacti/scripts/win_services.php serverFQDN public 2 2 get servstate 5.80.111.119.101.114
1[root@cacti-win ~]#

I compare the /usr/bin/php win_services.php winservices.xml /etc/php.ini /include/config.php /include/global.php
they are same,


is there anyone can help me? Thanks a log

I also need assistance, I have the graphs formed and represented and nothing is showing up. When I use the realtime plugin though to view my graphs I get a result with an active state and it graphs, any explanation for this?

[skullbox15]

on latest release of CactiEZ (0.8.8A), I tried everything in this thread and tried using values 35,25 and 37,27 (currently using 35 and 25) but both give me the same result when I run:

Code: Select all

[root@localhost scripts]# php -q win_services.php 172.16.250.250 public 2 2 index
PHP Parse error:  syntax error, unexpected ':' in /var/www/html/scripts/win_services.php on line 65

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ':' in /var/www/html/scripts/win_services.php on line 65

Line 65 is just a } How can I fix this? Currently I am getting a blank graph (results showing are -nan).

Finally, I change the php file
change the red part from 36 to 26 and it works.

/var/www/cacti/scripts/win_services.php

if (substr($return_arr[$i]['oid'],0,2) != "1.")
print substr($return_arr[$i]['oid'],26) . "\n";
else

Actually, here it is now. I had to do a few changes to it, since it was originally used for Cacti v0.8.6c (which is what our production server still runs, way too many modifications to upgrade at this time) but this was exported from v0.8.6i so you shouldn't have any issues with it.

If someone could verify that it works for them also, then I will go ahead and create some instructions for it.

I got this error message: (How to fix it? )

I am using cacti-0.8.8h , any available scripts for it?

[makcf07]

Is there an updated version of Windows Service stats template for Cacti version 1.1.26?

Thank you in advance,
Mark

[zetoo]

I am trying to get this template to work with thold, but i could not find the configuration for it to be detect whether the windows service is disable/stopped and send mail notification to me.

anyone have an idea to en-light me?

[hillda01]

Hi,

Do you have a step 1, step2, step3.... etc guide I can follow to get this working on my Ubuntu / Cacti server?

Regards,

Dave.

im trying to use this , (and i hope it can be used in 1.2.22), and I am getting this in my error logs

thoughts?

I would just simply use the HMIB plugin. That's what I wrote it for.

I would just simply use the HMIB plugin. That's what I wrote it for.

i actually have that finally working, and its pretty neat, but there's no way to create a thold or notification if a service stops from the HMIB plug in..
yes, you can go to the graphs, and\or processes, and on the graphs create a thold, but it looks, as far as i can tell, at the PID, and when a service restarts, it gets a new PID.
When looking at the processes from HMIB, i dont see anywhere to create a thold from that screen either.

[TheWitness]

That would be a nice feature request. What type of service are you trying to interrogate?

[mrossTTX]

essentially what I am looking for, (and this should be platform agnostic from the cacti server standpoint) is to be able to monitor ANY service on a windows machine, and perform actions when it sees that it's not running.
1) Email a list, or person, it discovered the service is down, and that it's actively trying to start the service
2) restart that service remotely, and if it cannot, email those from #1 above that it could not start the service
3) Email groups from #1 above that the service was successfully started
4) If at all possible, read the event log from the server to determine any troubleshooting and open a ticket. we use ServiceNow, and i know a lot of systems can integrate with it.. but that may be way beyond the scope of anything in Cacti. (Opening a ticket via an email does work, but adding in any and all information such as the event log data would be great).

[TheWitness]

If you deploy the various graph templates and then create graphs for these services, you can do much of that with thold.
