Didn't realise there were two implementations, can you post a link to the one you got to work?

Do you know if this is the same version as in CactiEZ?

No, it's not. I couldn't get this version to work. I am now using Ubuntu full-time for my production Cacti server, and just used

apt-get install wmi-client

Works a treat.

Hmmm the wmi-client package has been taken out of Ubuntu Jaunty since apparently it had some bugs....

Do i HAVE to have this package installed for exchange monitoring to work ?

To answer my own question...

No i didn't need to have the WMI-Plugin package installed, it works without it.

My problem was that the nslclient port specified as default in the scripts didn't match what my nsclient installs was using as default.

I just ran into the problem that package wmi-client isn't available for Ubuntu 9.04. Using CactiWMI 0.0.6 and in wmi.php is:

Code: Select all

// general configuration
$wmiexe = '/usr/local/bin/wmic'; // executable for the wmic command
That doesn't exist. Don't I need to give it a path to an executable for it to work?

When i run this script command base it works.

I cant seem to get the $ARGV[0] to work. Where is this argument?

/usr/lib64/nagios/plugins/check_nt -H 10.0.*.* -p 12489 -v COUNTER -l "\\MSExchangeIS\\User Count" <- Then it works .

when i do this: ./exchange_users_script.pl <- It doesn't (can someone please help me out)

Anyone tried to do this in a HMC clustered Exchange 2003 environment?

My information store, SMTP servers and frontend exchange boxes (i.e. web, MAPI, RPC/https) are hosted on different hosts. The following is what it looks like:

2 Backend Exchange 2003 boxes configured in MS cluster and responds by the VIP hostname (have 3 separate VIP hosts so technically I have 6 backend exchange 2003 hosts configured in MS cluster)

3 SMTP servers for sending (LVS'ed)

3 frontend servers (LVS'ed)

From what I am reading, this works well if you only have 1 exchange server. What about in a clustered environment like mine? Anyone familiar with a setup like above?
