What counts as a logged in user?

[adrianmarsh]

On a lot of my W2K Advanced Server servers, I've noticed that the Host MIB - Logged in users reports upwards of what is true...

For example, the cacti server itself... no-one is logged in at the console.. and I'm logged in via Terminal Services... so that should make "1" right? But I get 2-4 reported back to Cacti.

Or have I missed what this OID actually counts ?

Actually - does anyone know a good www page/document that tells you what MIBS the Microsoft SNMP agent supports ? I found http://www.microsoft.com/technet/itsolu ... /snmp.mspx which lists them briefly , but not in any great detail of interpretation

Per logged on users, I have a hunch it also is counting those logged on via a RPC session

Thats where my problem with it is... On some it shows "6", but I only have the default license for Term. Serv., which is 2, which means the maximum that can actually be logged on is 3.

The definition I have for .iso.org.dod.internet.mgmt.mib-2.host.hrSystem.hrSystemNumUsers is, "The number of user sessions for which this host is storing state information. A session is a collection of processes requiring a single act of user authentication and possibly subject to collective job control."

Maybe snmp informant will provide what you're after, otherwise it's time for a simple script.

What about trying my simple script, It work fine on my production environment.The value is exactly as the TerminalService Mgmt shows.

Thanks for the responses guys. I've had some very weird results today. I had to increase the memory on the server as it was quite low. After the restart, I now get the below graph for # of users... weird. Think I'll try ioiioi' script.
