Error when monitoring Windows Server 2012 Network Traffic

Post by michaelFF »

Windows Server 2012 R2

I'm trying to monitor the network traffic (64-bit bytes) on my NIC. Data query is finding the NIC and returning the right IP address. Here's the error from the poller log:

12/27/2015 04:10:02 PM - CMDPHP: Poller[0] Host[3] DS[62] SNMP: v2: 10.0.0.21, dsname: traffic_in, oid: .1.3.6.1.2.1.31.1.1.1.6.13, output: U
12/27/2015 04:10:02 PM - CMDPHP: Poller[0] Host[3] DS[62] WARNING: Result from SNMP not valid. Partial Result: U
12/27/2015 04:10:02 PM - CMDPHP: Poller[0] WARNING: SNMP Get Timeout for Host:'10.0.0.21', and OID:'.1.3.6.1.2.1.31.1.1.1.6.13'
12/27/2015 04:10:02 PM - CMDPHP: Poller[0] Host[3] DS[62] SNMP: v2: 10.0.0.21, dsname: traffic_out, oid: .1.3.6.1.2.1.31.1.1.1.10.13, output: U
12/27/2015 04:10:02 PM - CMDPHP: Poller[0] Host[3] DS[62] WARNING: Result from SNMP not valid. Partial Result: U
12/27/2015 04:10:02 PM - CMDPHP: Poller[0] WARNING: SNMP Get Timeout for Host:'10.0.0.21', and OID:'.1.3.6.1.2.1.31.1.1.1.10.13'

When I do

snmpwalk -v 2c -c Win 10.0.0.21 .1.3.6.1.2.1.31.1.1.1.6.13
snmpwalk -v 2c -c Win 10.0.0.21:161 .1.3.6.1.2.1.31.1.1.1.10.13

Nothing is returned either.

There are no issues when I monitor the CPU and Memory on the server. Any suggestions? Thanks

You might want to post a walk of the device.

All Network info should be at
.1.3.6.1.2.1

64 Bit counters should be at
.1.3.6.1.2.1.31.1.1.1.6

I am wondering if you even have 64 Bit counters? Did you try the 32 Bit ones here?

I'll check but my NIC is 10Gb so wouldn't 32-bit be inaccurate?

You're right I don't have the 64-bit counters. Then it goes back to my 10G 32-bit accuracy question

I quick google search shows that Microsoft doesn't support 64 Bit counters. Your not going to get accurate network information out of a Windows server it seems. The only real options appear to be to write your own snmp agent extension, use snmp informant (with a few people saying that it doesn't supply the right info either), or monitor its switch port instead.
