Monitor Windows Service stats from Linux

[imro]

For anyone who is interested I have attached fixed win_services.php and win_services.xml that works on my CentOS 4 Cacti 0.8.7g set up.

Hi, guys!
This correct version of "windows service template". Thats, extended state display:
0- stopped, 1 - active, 2-continue-pending, 3 - pause-pending, 4 - paused
State display by color.

[gbaity]

I'm imported this template into my windows box, but all my graphs are showing red - no service. Did I miss something?

[igorx1972]

I don't understand, why in Your picture is some numbers exist - no any numbers must be - only words.

[gbaity]

I could really use some help with this:
I'm running 8.7g on Windows
I'm imported your scripts and template, and the graphs above are what I get. Can you assist? I'll try to reimport and see what happens.

Using SNMP version 2

Hello everyone.

Good day!

I'm a newbie in Cacti and I would like to ask for assistance regarding this addon.

I installed the latest version of the add-on. Unfortunately, when I go to "New Graph", under Data Query of Win Services, I get this:
This data query returned 0 rows, perhaps there was a problem executing this data query. You can run this data query in debug mode to get more information.

How can I fix this?

Thank you.

Best Regards,
Paul

Found the reason why... the data input method should be "Get Script Server Data" instead of "Get SNMP Data" because the xml of win services is placed in script_server.

How to add the service to threshold. So it can trigger me when a service is down.

I download igorx1972 source files and installed things as usual. However, I was getting the same result as gbaity. I spent some time today getting this script working on my Cacti 8.7g+spine deployment. What I found was there in the win_services.php file there seems to be an error.

In the cacti log I saw it making the following request:

03/21/2011 03:20:09 PM - SPINE: Poller[0] Host[646] TH[1] DS[16045] SS[0] SERVER: /var/www/cacti/scripts/win_services.php win_services 10.0.0.53 2:161:500:public:::::: get servstate .9.69.118.101.110.116.32.76.111.103 , output: 0

Notice that the OID has a period at the start of the string. I decided to emulate this on the command line:

/var/log/cacti$ /usr/bin/php -q /var/www/cacti/scripts/win_services.php 10.0.0.53 2:161:500:public:::::: get servstate .9.69.118.101.110.116.32.76.111.103
.1.3.6.1.4.1.77.1.2.3.1.2..9.69.118.101.110.116.32.76.111.103: Unknown Object Identifier (Sub-id not found: enterprises -> .9.69.118.101.110.116.32.76.111.103)
0

The result was 0, fail! The script was barking about the OID not existing?! Odd... the script appended my OID to the base OID incorrectly. What I ended up with was:

.1.3.6.1.4.1.77.1.2.3.1.2..9.69.118.101.110.116.32.76.111.103

What I need is:

.1.3.6.1.4.1.77.1.2.3.1.2.9.69.118.101.110.116.32.76.111.103

In the /var/www/cacti/scripts/win_services.php file go down to line 85 and change this:

$x = trim(cacti_snmp_get($hostname, $snmp_community, $oids[$arg] . '.' . $index, $snmp_version, $snmp_auth_username, $snmp_auth_password, $snmp_auth_protocol, $snmp_p
riv_passphrase, $snmp_priv_protocol, $snmp_context, $snmp_port, $snmp_timeout, read_config_option("snmp_retries"), SNMP_POLLER));

to this:

$x = trim(cacti_snmp_get($hostname, $snmp_community, $oids[$arg] . '' . $index, $snmp_version, $snmp_auth_username, $snmp_auth_password, $snmp_auth_protocol, $snmp_p
riv_passphrase, $snmp_priv_protocol, $snmp_context, $snmp_port, $snmp_timeout, read_config_option("snmp_retries"), SNMP_POLLER));

What I did was change '.' to just ''
Everything now seems to work!

Keep up the good work!

I'd like to thank everybody to develop all those features.
Just remark that using script posted by igorx1972, with 0.8.7g under CentOS5 it works fine (you must wait for a couple of minutes to generate graphs).

Cheers!

Actually, here it is now. I had to do a few changes to it, since it was originally used for Cacti v0.8.6c (which is what our production server still runs, way too many modifications to upgrade at this time) but this was exported from v0.8.6i so you shouldn't have any issues with it.

If someone could verify that it works for them also, then I will go ahead and create some instructions for it.

It seems that it does not work in Cacti 0.8.7e.

[ocoralan]

You are going to find that a lot of your old scripts no longer work in v0.8.7, since instead of including config.php, you need to include global.php. Also, certain functions have changed and require more arguments to support SNMP v3.

Attached is a version that should work in v0.8.7.

Oh, excellent, I downloaded the previous service.zip version, so it does not work in v0.8.7e, after downloading this version, it works fine. Thanks for your wonderful stuff.

Sorry, i'm new in cacti and snmp. How can i monitor linux services or processes? A single service, for example a web service, not a count of all processes.

Hi,

although Win Service stats is working for me, I need your help:
It seems that RRD are overwritting old data with '0' value, because I loose previous data just in these kind of graphs (not in Latency, CPU, etc).

You can see that looking two attached graphs: they belong to the same server/service, but graph1 is 10 minutes older than graph2, and first one has more data.
I attach my data template screenshot.

Do you know why this behaviour?


Any tip will be appreciated
Thanks in advance.
