Copy the snmp_informant_*.xml files to your cacti /resource/snmp_queries directory on your cacti box.

Import the cacti_data_query_w32_*.xml files into the cacti web interface.

Ok. I just came across an issue with monitoring systems with more than 4GB of memory. I have updated everything required and the templates are being attached here. If you already use these templates you will need to remove all data sources for W32 - Memory stats (usage), and make sure to delete all graphs associated when prompted. Copy over to your cacti install folder the snmp_informant_memory.xml and replace the current one. Now import cacti_data_query_snmp_-_informant_memory_statistics.xml into the cacti console. Now go back and recreate your graphs for the memory usage on each system being monitored. As always let me know if you see any issues.

I am able to generate the graph successfully but the Maximum value is not displayed below the graph. Please refer the attachment.

You need to change your graph template for height and width...I had all of mine set to 200x600.

Hi Godsmack & lien,

i still couldnt get the templates imported into my cacti server(CenOS).

I have followed all ur instructions but still failed.

I configured SNMP on the window server,installed SNMP informat v1.6 on the server...is there a service for SNMP informat? I couldnt locate it..

I copy the snmp_informant_*.xml files var/www/html/cacti/resource/snmp_queries directory. Then i import all w32_*.xml files into the cacti web interface...no message indicate whether successful or not..

anyone can help me?

lien,
is ur user guide ready?

[G0dSmack]

Have you actually installed the SNMP service on your windows server as well?

[ahtshun83]

Have you actually installed the SNMP service on your windows server as well?

yes i have installed SNMP service..there are two services called SNMP Service and SNMP Trap Service.

here are the steps how i installed SNMP on window(which will be monitored by Cacti on CentOS 5.2)
1. go to add/remove program. click add/remove window components
2.select "management & monitoring tools" Click details,select "Simple Network Management protocol"

pls correct me if i am wrong...

pls help!!

FYI:my cacti on centOS 5.2 is running on VMWare server which installed on Window 2003 Server.

Have you configured the security settings on the snmp service to allow your cacti box to communicate with it? Also configured the snmp service settings to set the community string?

hi godsmack,

I have already configured the security & community.when i create a new device to monitor this Win2k3 machine,i use snmp version 2.

here is how i configure the security.
1. go to service,right click on snmp service.go to traps tab. key in the community name and click add to list
2. click on security tab, add community name with "read,write" access
3. add the cacti ip under "Accept the snmp packets from these hosts"

correct me if i am wrong

pls help!Thank you!!

Hi, G0dSmack. Thanks for your templates.

When I use your templates to monitor a Win2k3 Server(Chinese version) with 2 nics, there is something wrong. I can't see the traffic of the two nics, only traffic of the loopback.

[G0dSmack]

Anyone else having issues monitoring NICS? I have come across one particular NIC I cannot get information from and it is an HP NC373i. All others seem to work fine.
