Newbie Question

Post by wintech2003 »

I'm using Cacti for a long time now, on a CentOS box, monitoring Cisco routers and Linux servers.

I would like to ask one question:

If I install Net-SNMP on a Windows 2003 server, can I monitor it from a Linux based Cacti agent, or do I have to setup a second Cacti agent on a Windows machine to monitor Windows servers?

I tried to monitor a Windows 2003 server with Net-SNMP from my CentOS box, but I could only monitor Network interfaces, but could not monitor ucd/net CPU Usage, ucd/net Load Average and ucd/net Memory Usage. On Host Template I have chosen Windows 2000/XP Host.

Is this normal?

SNMP works fine since I can monitor the network interface.

Thank you in advance

Moved to Win32 Specfic
No cacti server is needed on a Windows host to do that. All data, that you can retrieve by using snmp against that windows host may be polled and graphed by a single cacti instance.
If you want to make windows report more data, please search the Scripts and Templates forum for lots of resources on this.
