My understanding is that it does matter. Perl doesn't offer Win32::OLE on Linux. But have a look at http://forums.cacti.net/viewtopic.php?t=5842 - there I have summarized all possible ways to get WMI data from windows to CACTI on Linux.

Hi!

I used your scripts to monitor CPUs.I tried this script on my localhost (a WinXP) and it works well, then I tested it on a remote server(a Win2000)...and... no data in my graph...


My config:
Windows XP
apache 2.0.53
cacti 0.8.6d
cactid 0.8.6d
mysql 4.0.24
net-snmp-5.2.1
php-5.0.4
rrdtool-cygwin-1.2.9



When I run php poller.php:


06/29/2005 03:03:23 PM - SYSTEM STATS: Time: 23.1785 s, Method: cmd.php, Processes: 1, Threads: N/A, Hosts: 13, Hosts/Process: 13

Why for the localhost ouput value it's ok and for remote servers it's done?

Could you help me?!

I'm trying to use these scripts to get CPU information from Windows Servers (2000 & 2003), but althought the script is running, when viewing the poller log I get the following errors;

07/12/2005 02:11:04 PM - CACTID: Poller[0] Host[3] DS[33] WARNING: Result from SCRIPT not valid. Partial Result: ...
07/12/2005 02:11:04 PM - CACTID: Poller[0] Host[3] ERROR: Empty result [server1.comm.ad.roke.co.uk]: 'perl C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\cacti/scripts/w32_query_cpu.pl server1 get LoadPercentage 2'

The RRD files are not updated, and the graphs show 'NaN'. If I run this script from the command line, I get the correct results, e.g;

CPU0:1 CPU1:2 etc.

I am running Cacti 0.8.6f on Windows 2000 server.

Ah, and here I am trying to duplicate your work.... <groan>...

Except I'm trying to do it without ANY knowledge of how to use WMI along with SNMP.

Just trying to use the standard Host_MIB stuff... (Which should work too).

I got a problem with this template.
the perl script works fine when I manually run it:
c:\perl c:/apache2/htdocs/cacti/scripts/w32_query_cpu.pl 192.168.100.26 LoadPercentage 4
CPU0:0 CPU1:1 CPU2:1 CPU3:0
and the debug log as this:
02/05/2006 11:12:23 PM - CMDPHP: Poller[0] Host[18] DS[171] CMD: perl C:/Apache2/htdocs/cacti/scripts/w32_query_cpu.pl 192.168.100.26 get LoadPercentage 4, output: U
so the graphic could not update.
any clue?

acturally, all WMI scripts are failed to work within cacti, but the single perl scripts could work by manually while cmd.php utilize them, they failed. any body could give me a clue?b

I have figured out the problem, the reason is the account's permission, It could not talk to WMI.
