[namiradaki]

Do these scripts work on Exch 2k3 SP2?

I only seem to be able to get some of the data for messages template, all the other one dont return any results.

Any suggestions?

Thanks for all your help in advance.

where do i specify the host that this script will run against? do i actually subsitiute <hostname> for <mailserver> ?

[psycho.chicken]

Only half the graph is working...

half says 0.2m
and half says NaN...

see attatchment

[mattsn0w]

probably a silly question, but has anyone been able to get the perl scripts working on Linux?

I've seen some posts through Google searches of people setting up WINE on Linux, and installing active state perl to get perl::Win32 working.

I have Cacti running on a Ubuntu Linux system, but may just setup a second box using win2k3 if it'll be easier to get access to WMI.

Here are the Data Templates.

Import using Cacti.

Important: Once imported, edit the script command to include your paths.

How do I edit the script command to include my path??

Hi,

I'm having the problem where I can get the script to run but it doesn't return any results. I have checked the WMI security settings on my Exchange server and they allow EVERYONE to remote access the server (currently).

Below is when I execute the scripts from my Cacti Server:

Code: Select all

C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\cacti\scripts>perl windows_exchangemessages.pl snv-exh1

C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\cacti\scripts>perl windows_exchangedb.pl snv-exh1

C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\cacti\scripts>perl windows_exchangelatency.pl snv-exh1

C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\cacti\scripts>perl windows_exchangequeues.pl snv-exh1

C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\cacti\scripts>perl windows_memory.pl snv-exh1
FreePhysicalMemory:450028 TotalVisibleMemorySize:3144976 CommitLimit:5237317632
CommittedBytes:2815942656 PoolPagedBytes:49958912 PoolNonpagedBytes:37257216
C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\cacti\scripts>

The only script that returns results is the Memory one. I'm running Exchange SP2 on Windows Server 2003.

Any ideas?

Try running wmiadap /f at the command line to see if this helps. You should restart the WMI service after running this command.

[StevoDevo]

Thanks - that worked... but now the only script returning no results is the DB scripts. I read in this thread that the creator had kept his DB name and computer name in the script, but I can't find it anywhere!

Here is the script I'm using - what do I need to change?

Code: Select all

use strict;
use Win32::OLE('in');

use constant wbemFlagReturnImmediately => 0x10;
use constant wbemFlagForwardOnly => 0x20;

my @computers = ($ARGV[0]);
foreach my $computer (@computers) {

   my $objWMIService = Win32::OLE->GetObject("winmgmts:\\\\$computer\\root\\CIMV2") or die "WMI connection failed.\n";
   my $colItems = $objWMIService->ExecQuery("SELECT * FROM Win32_PerfFormattedData_ESE_Database", "WQL",
                  wbemFlagReturnImmediately | wbemFlagForwardOnly);

   foreach my $objItem (in $colItems) {
      print "DatabaseReadsSec:$objItem->{IODatabaseReadsPersec} ";
      print "DatabaseWritesSec:$objItem->{IODatabaseWritesPersec} ";
      print "LogReadsSec:$objItem->{IOLogReadsPersec} ";
      print "LogWritesSec:$objItem->{IOLogWritesPersec} ";
      print "\n";
   }
}

I think this script was modified after someone else pointed it out,. I could never get this one working either, and to be honest, I decided to leave it alone. In terms of the Exchange DB, what are you looking to graph ?

@ fury, mattsn0w and hunghui

I know it's been a while. Crazy to think we're the only people running Cacti on Linux boxes?
Oh, well.

I've been working on this as well. The problem, as I believe it to be now, is the Perl module for OLE. If you get errors similar to this:

Can't locate WIN32/OLE.pm in @INC (@INC contains: /etc/perl /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_prel/5.8.8/i686-linux /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.8 et cetera et cetera)


You have the same problem. I'm currently trying to find that Perl module, wget it and I'll fill you all in.

[briealeida]

That's totally not the case.

Sorry, guys.

I'm giving this up and sticking to switches, Linux boxes and networking stuff for Cacti and searching for the SNMP OIDs.

Completely screw WMI and OLE.
