Windows 2000/2003 Perfmon Graphs

[BSOD2600]

Since you're runnning cacti on linux, you cannot do WMI queries (that I how at least). So you're left with snmp or a third part app to report the data.

hi

understood the part of running cati on linux, so can't use wmi.
but i am willing to run cacti on windows, and be able to use wmi.
but now i am looking for wmi scripts and cacti templates.
wish i knew some coding in xml and create things.

thanks

You don't need to know any 'coding' in xml to create cacti templates. Read the manual, follow some how-to's, and learn ffrom other existing examples that come with cacti.

Anyone ever though of using Perl with Win32::PerfMon ?

Hello,

An old Microsoft French post (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/467500/fr) explain how to perform a SNMP request on perfmon counters.
Ressource kit is needed.

This other URL explain in English how to do and a download link is provide : http://www.loriotpro.com/ServiceAndSupp ... s_2000.php

I think this will answer to your (old) question

Hello all,

Any idea where or how I might graph some of the values you can gather with PerfMon? Such as...

"\\\System\\Processor Queue Length"
"\\\\PhysicalDisk(_Total)\\Current Disk Queue Length"

"\\\\SQLServer:General Statistics\\User Connections"
"\\\\SQLServer:Locks(_Total)\\Lock Timeouts/sec"
"\\\\SQLServer:Locks(_Total)\\Lock Wait Time (ms)"

I'm sure there is an easy answer but I am having the toughest time finding it..

Thanks.

FWIW I developed my own method, have a look here:
