Monitoring IIS6

[M@tth3w]

Hi All, I've identified the following OID's on my IIS6 server that could be useful, some for graphing within Cacti.

I've added two of these that have data in them as data sources to the relevant device, one of them creates a graph, the other is empty which is a bit confusing. I'd like to add a few of these (the ones that return statistics as some are empty). Am I best adding them one by one? Or creating a Data query? I did try making an xml file for that but failed miserably to get it working

I'd be grateful of any help.

Thank you.

1) search the script forum for others who have already made the scripts/templates.

2) learn how to make them yourself: http://docs.cacti.net/?q=node/499

[M@tth3w]

I did have a look about the forum, all the templates I tried wouldn't import, is this due to them not being compatible between versions of cacti?

I did read that section of the documentation, it's a bit above me in terms of my ability in this sort of thing. I'll give it another try though

Possibly. Older templates can import into newer cacti fine, but not the other way around. What cacti version you running? What error did you recieve?

[M@tth3w]

I attempted to import the xml from the threads "Microsoft IIS current connection template" and "IIS - WWW Graph templates", each gave a "Error: XML parse error"

I'm running Version 0.8.7d of Cacti.

[BSOD2600]

Hmm possibly 0.8.7d has a bug with importing templates... Well at the very least, since the scripts have already been created, it won't be all that hard to re-create the data/graph templates -- especially since you have the XML files. Follow the guides I linked before.

Just curious, are you able to import any templates?

[M@tth3w]

I think I tried a few of these before I moved from 7c, they had the same issue. I just tried importing "Generic SNMPwalk to retrieve multiple values in one run" and it had the same parse error. I also tried the "SNMP Printer Template" this also returned a parse error.

Perhaps there is something a miss on my install? I probably need to sit down and give this more attention but I'm looking after three offices and Cacti is a side project I've not fully grasped the data queries yet, let alone how to make graphs

[BSOD2600]

I've not fully grasped the data queries yet, let alone how to make graphs

Have you read over cacti basics yet?

[M@tth3w]

I have, and I've created single queries using the example in the manual which sort of work, I'm just a slow/poor learner if I'm honest!
