BES (BlackBerry Enterprise Server) template using WMI

[slay]

Hi

I am trying to convert this to work on linux. My cacti runs on linux but BES on windows.

So I am trying this using the check_nt / NSClient route and I am not sure I am doing it right.

I have tried this:

Code: Select all

[root@host ~]# /usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_nt -H $HOST -p 1248 -v COUNTER -l '"winmgmts:\\" & strComputer & "\root\cimv2"'

With this reply but I am not sure I am getting a proper reply:

Code: Select all

strComputer  = 0.00  "\root\cimv2" | ' strComputer '=0.000000 "\root\cimv2";0.000000;0.000000;

Can anyone help me out. Let me know if I am on the right path?


Thanks....

Please everyone make sure the polling account for the schedule task has administrator privileges on the target machine (or at least the same as when you're succeed on the command-line).

Thanks

I wish I read that earlier... I ended up figuring it out on my own.

Thanks for the script/templates.

I've got BES 4.1 service pack 2 and when I run the script I get the entry below.

My Message queue graph registered once then never again.

Any way to tell the vbs script to only output one line?

So when calling this from linux, did you have to change the path for the data input method to the path on the windows machine? Or does it run from the linux box?

When I run this script against my bes, i don't get any data returned. I fired up scriptomatic and it didn't see the source Win32_PerfRawData_BlackBerryEnterpriseServer_BlackBerryServer, is there something which needs to be installed on the BES to add that field to WMI?

When I had problems seeing it in Script-o-matic I had to refresh the WMI tables. I had the problem with my clustered Exchange servers.

vizzor,

thanks for the reply. I checked out that article and refreshed the tables. The odd thing is, at the bottom of that article, it references using wbemtest to query against the wmi db. I tried that and it looks like the Win32_PerfRawData_BlackBerryEnterpriseServer_BlackBerryServer is present from wbemtest, but when i run the script both locally and remotely, i don't get any data. Also, even after refreshing the table I don't see that information in scriptomatic.

Gents-
I imported the graphs and host template and I am missing the data input methods. Can someone export or tell me how to define. I am still new at this.

You can do the same thing in linux using the nsclient in windows (or similar client) by polling the perfmon values with check_nt.

I have created a Linux compatible script/template which uses check_nt. The graphs look identical to the original poster. You will need to modify the perl script to point to the check_nt location... and change "BLACKBERRY1" to the name of your BlackBerry Enterprise Server name (not necessarily the hostname). Please try it out and let me know if it works for you.

Thanks,
Dave

Cool. Works great for me with one major problem.

Things will graph fine for a while then report a value something like 880,956,823.75 for messages sent or received. It seems to be a related to the counter values going backwards.

Obviously, this is not a problem with your script but the data being provided by the BES counters.

edit..

permissions issues ftl.

thanks alot for the great script
We are using it for a pretty long time without problems now, but we have some issues since we migrated to the last version of our BES server.
Since we migrated to version 4.1.6 the WMI does not longer return any data
Has anyone else noticed this and does anyone have a solution for this?

thanks in advance

I got this script working but I am getting all Zeros anything I should look into?

Hi all,

my BES4 2003 R2 server is not on the domain. So the cacti poller account did not work on it.

I get this error twice on each cycle: ERROR: Empty result [besserver]: 'cscript /nologo C:/Apache2/htdocs/cacti/scripts/BES_Stats.vbs besserver'

How do i get the vbs scipt working in this case ?

Cacti server 0.8.7e on windows2003 R2

Thanks
