Windows Server 2012 R2 64 Bit Counters only NAN

[Axel90]

Hey guys,
I've got many Windows Server 2012 R2 VMs on a VMWare esxi.
All Windows VMs do have the vmxnet3 Ethernet Adapter that has a bandwith of 10 GBit/s.
However, my graphs never exceed the 100Mbit/s bar. ( I did a filetransfer over half an hour with 700Mbit/s, so there is definitely a higher rate than 100Mbit/s. Additionally, the according switchport graph where the server is connected to shows 700Mbit/s)

So I'm wondering:
- Is that a general windows problem?
- Doesn't that work on windows systems?
- Did anyone get that working?

Thanks for some hints.

Are you using 64 bit interface counters ?

When I use 64 bit counters; I only get NAN:

Do you know why?
Does 64 bit counters on windows systems work for you?

May still be the case that Microsoft didn't implement it:

I think you will have to use WMI

PS: Let me know if you succeed

I'm not a huge fan of third party software for monitoring purposes, but I used SNMP informant (http://www.snmp-informant.com/snmp-info ... andard.htm) and I haven't had any issues thus far.

[Axel90]

@camerabob:
I'm using SNMP Informant, too.

But get NAN, though.

Which version of SNMP informant do you use?
Standard or Pro?

[camerabob]

I'm using 1.7 standard (...whatever I could legally use for free). Make sure you add the secondary files into the cacti snmp_queries directory as well. Read the README file for details. You cannot skip that step.

From my own notes:

These files need to be placed in the "<cacti root>/resource/snmp_queries" in order for the polling to work as desired:
snmp_informant_cpu.xml
snmp_informant_disk.xml
snmp_informant_memory.xml
snmp_informant_network.xml
snmp_informant_objects.xml

[Axel90]

ah, I don't have these files!

Where can I get them?

I've read the README of snmp informant but didn't find any information about the xml files.

Or did you mean another README?


(PS: I'm using 1.7 standard, too)

[camerabob]

They should have been included in the .zip file when you downloaded it.

[Axel90]

the zip file only includes "informant-std-17.exe"

Would you be so nice and provide me the files?

[camerabob]

I sent a PM to you

[Axel90]

Thank you very much!

Now I copied them into the snmp queries folder

But now I don't know what to do. How can I tell the 64 bit counters data source to use that network xml?

[Axel90]

I understood what to do.

I downloaded Cacti_SNMP_Informant_Standard_Metrics_v13 and imported all templates.

But can't add those graphs because all get a data query error:

Do you have an idea?
Do you use cacti 1.2? Maybe those templates aren't compatible with 1.2 anymore?

[netniV]

You seem to have duplicated this post, I have given recommendations on your other post.

[Axel90]

camerabob, your files you provided me don't seem to be compatible.
I now used the files included in Cacti_SNMP_Informant_Standard_Metrics_v13 package, that works.
Thank you, anyway

and netniv, of course
