You must clear the poller cache.

Just to update on the foward slashes, cleared my poller cache and the syntak is now C:/Windows/System32/cscript.exe

Umm, you realize that |host_hostname| is not a valid computer name right? Thats likely why the script is currently failing. In your data input method, edit the strComputer field. In Special Type Code put in: hostname. That should fix the problem.

No, I didn't mean you to post the entire rrd dump... just the relivant section around todays date would be fine (no need to right now though).

have put hostname in the Special Type Code within the strComputer Input Field. I have also left the Custom Data field in the Data Template blank.

Am still getting no values though.

Sorry about the XML dump, will do it in a bit.

No need for the xml dump until cacti actually collects data.

So even after putting in the proper name the Special Type Code, looking in the cacti log it's using |host_hostname|? You need to track down where you've got that.

In your date template, the strComputer field should NOT have a checkbox by it.

Have tried both hostname and 'hostname' in the Special field and am now getting the following in the log:

Code: Select all

any ideas?

Work with cmd.php ?

Running cscript //nologo D:/Cacti/scripts/w32_CPU.vbs 172.29.2.23 works right?

pshankland · Post by **pshankland** » Thu Nov 24, 2005 5:32 am

Ahhhh, now using cmd.php with all the other changed seems to work.

I'll leave it running for a while and post the results then.

But fingers crossed

Thanks Larry & BSOD2600 it appears as though I am now able to get the data through with using cmd.php rather than catid - so cheers for all the help.

I am moving this up a notch now

. I want to create a graph that shows IIS information and for this the graph needs to have 3 outputs and 1 input. I have created the following script which outputs the results as the cacti manual says (<fieldname1>:<value1> <fieldname2>:<value2>...)

Code: Select all

strComputer=Wscript.Arguments.Item(0)
Set objWMIService=GetObject("winmgmts:\\" & strComputer & "\root\cimv2")

Set objIIS=objWMIService.instancesof("Win32_PerfRawData_W3SVC_WebService")
For Each objItem in objIIS
	CurrentConnections=objItem.CurrentConnections
	CurrentAnonymousUsers=objItem.CurrentAnonymousUsers
	CurrentNonAnonymousUsers=objItem.CurrentNonAnonymousUsers
Next

Wscript.Echo "CurrentConnections:" & CurrentConnections &" CurrentAnonymousUsers:" & CurrentAnonymousUsers & " CurrentNonAnonymousUsers:" & CurrentNonAnonymousUsers

When running this in the command prompt I get the following:

Code: Select all

CurrentConnections:13 CurrentAnonymousUsers:0 CurrentNonAnonymousUsers:0

I have created the Data Input Method with 1 input field and 3 output fields. Then created the Data Template with 3 Data Sources each pointing to the different Data Input Methods output fields. Finally created a simple Graph Template.

Only problem is that the graph isn't bringing back anything except NaN. The cacti log looks ok though:

11/24/2005 01:05:05 PM - CMDPHP: Poller[0] Host[16] DS[48] CMD: c:/windows/system32/cscript.exe //nologo D:/Cacti/scripts/w32_IIS.vbs, output: U

Any help would be useful.

Thanks.

Did you try this version of Cactid?

Again, to make things a bit easier to understand I have put the screenshots and log on my webserver:

Screenshots of the creation of this graph
Last 20mins from my Cacti Logfile

Hope someone can help me with this.

Thanks.

Larry, was using cmd.php but have started using the new cactid again. For some reason the single output vbs are now working with this new cactid but unfortunatly, I am still getting NaN on the new multiple out vbs.

Thanks

Can you compile Cactid?
