Cloned this into github where I could hack on it some. Updated readme with some more up to date links and cleaned up some notices and made some error messages clearer to make getting this working a bit easier for me.

I have a question about Disk Usage...

My server has 4 Disk (C:\, E:\; F:\; I:\)...there is a way to monitor all these disks? My cacti monitor only C:\

Thanks

Hi Claymen,

there is a way to install and install this plugin into a windows based cacti ?

[quote="claymen"]Whats your cacti output look like at the time its being polled?

I've issued a pull request which fixes some issues around Server 2008 domain controllers and Server 2012. As a bonus I've added a new script that can pull windows network info via WMI instead of SNMP. The windows network WMI counters are still 32-bit, but there is a total traffic counter, which is 64-bit and not exposed via SNMP (to the best of my knowledge).

psabadim,

You can monitor more than one drive, but you'll have to readd the graph multiple times and change the filtered drive.

Hi Claymen,

Not currently because it relies on the linux wmic tool. That being said, it's open source and not terribly hard to work through. It could be tweaked to use windows tools with some work.

Hello everyone,

My graphs are not being generated. I just see a blank space instead of the graph itself.

I am having the following record in the log:

Code: Select all

10/20/2015 06:06:12 PM - SPINE: Poller[0] Host[23] TH[1] DS[632] SCRIPT: /usr/bin/php -q /usr/share/cacti/scripts/wmi.php -h 'someserver' -u '/etc/cacti/cactiwmi.pw' -w 'Win32_ComputerSystem' -n '' -k '' -v '' -c 'TotalPhysicalMemory', output: U

When running the command from shell I get the following:

Code: Select all

[root@monitoringserver wmi]# /usr/bin/php -q /usr/share/cacti/scripts/wmi.php -h 'someserver' -u '/etc/cacti/cactiwmi.pw' -w 'Win32_PerfRawData_PerfOS_Memory' -n '' -k '' -v '' -c 'CommittedBytes,AvailableBytes,CommitLimit'

/bin/wmic --namespace='root\CIMV2' --authentication-file=/etc/cacti/cactiwmi.pw //someserver "SELECT CommittedBytes,AvailableBytes,CommitLimit FROM Win32_PerfRawData_PerfOS_Memory"
Exec Status: 0

AvailableBytes:36340912128
CommitLimit:141697503232
CommittedBytes:84073422848

I have tried both cmd.php and spine pollers with no luck.

How can I further troubleshoot this?

Thank you!

Cheers,

Do you have some debugging enabled within the wmi script?

Hi everybody,

It's my first post! I have a problem with Cacti and WMI Monitor.

It works perfectly, but I have not been able to create separate graphs for different instances of the same service.

Please see the attached file.

any ideas?

Thks!!!
