rrd files of devices windows does not receive data V. 1.1.35

Post by ejsbcn »

[ I am a novice with Cacti ]
I have problems receiving data from Windows devices,
The rrd files are created, but no data is received, I do not understand the cause ...
In the log report I see which devices are identified, but there are no dataqueries for these Windows devices: (with the Linux systems work perfect)
I have installed Cacti (1.1.35) in Red Hat 7, my version of rrdtool is: 1.4.8-9.el7.x86_64
NET-SNMP version: 5.7.2
My poller is cmd.php, i do not have installed Spine, is necessary?
I would like any way (DataSource, templates, scripts,) of data capture for Windows systems please, :cry:
I Attached some captures ...

I will thank you very much for your help

Regards,

Re: rrd files of windows does not receive data - Cacti 1.1.3

You don't need to run a Windows Cacti server to collect data from Windows systems. I have Cacti installed on a Linux machine and I collect from everything. Switches, firewalls, PCs, and Linux alike. Just make sure that you have set up the SNMP on the Windows boxes.

Thanks for your help camerabob :),

We have a comunity for SNMP, and this is configured fine, I comprovated this,
and not all the graphics do not work, two work well, look the attached images,

How can you see in images, only paint graphs of; (Host MIB - Processes) and (Non-Unicast Packets - ethernet_12 - In / Out Bits)

I need the graphs of RAM memory / memory details, CPU usage, disk usage...

Thank very much for you help

I have found with Windows systems, SNMP Informant (http://www.snmp-informant.com/snmp-info ... andard.htm) gives much more useful information than the built in templates in Cacti.

Give that a shot. Make sure to read the instructions. Files need to be placed in the cacti query directory (I believe, it's been a while) before you can get the good data.

One caveat: The HMIB plugin will not work with SNMP Informant 100%. When I enabled HMIB, some polling stopped on the drive statistics. I didn't bother troubleshooting, I just uninstalled HMIB.

You also need to make sure that the devices in question are actually giving out the data on the OIDs expected. Use an snmpwalk from the command line to see what's actually being returned.

Im Sorry CameraBob, I haved very busy,
this link; (http://www.snmp-informant.com/snmp-info ... andard.htm)
Is it to perform the installation of an agent on each of the machines that I need to control?
Remember that I have Cacti installed in a Red Hat 7, And my intention is get graphs of windows servers.
What is exactly, that I need for my Cacti 1.1.35 in ?
I downloaded and import differents templates,dataquerys... and now, i have templates of older versions & of diferents searches of Internet , because i did migration from 0.8.8a
But none of them works ;( :cry:

Very thanks!!

I'm sorry I'm totally nobie with Cacti, :( :cry:
Thanks camerabob,

I need control mainly Windows 2008 R2 and W2012,

Now I downloaded the package:
informant-premium-2008-1 ---> It's the first packet free right?

The agent do I have to install it on each server?

After all, I'll need some templates for these agents, right?
