[solved] Terminal services active sessions SNMP

noshybabs · Post by **noshybabs** » Thu Sep 03, 2009 4:47 am

Is there a way of plotting active terminal services sessions using SNMP? i tried the host MIB one but its brings back incorrent results.

Operating System: Windows 2003 R2
Webserver: IIS
Cacti: Version 0.8.7e

How was it incorrect? What OID did you use?

Its returning a figure of over 200, when in actuallity it should read something like 9.

Im not intirley sure what a OID is but i assume its a key relating to data returned vis SNMP? If so im not sure, im just using the graph template that comes bundled with the latest version of the windows installer.

I am very much a noob so please be kind.

The template you've got shows "Logged in users" - it's not really showing physically logged in session. If a user connects to your file server via a share on a mapped drive, then this is classed as a logged in user.

Arr ok i get it

Is there a way of showing just the logged in users as opposed to this? preferebly something that doesnt need me to install anything new on the terminal servers?

I seem to recall this one working (don't use Windows anymore for Cacti)

cant seem to get the data collector script to work, i get this in the log file

09/04/2009 02:51:04 PM - SPINE: Poller[0] Host[11] ERROR: Empty result [Leeds-ts01]: 'perl C:/Inetpub/wwwroot/cacti\scripts\w32_query_TerminalService.pl 192.9.200.52 get ActiveSessions,TotalSessions'

1) specify the full path to perl.
2) manually run that scripting command and see if it works. You'll likely have to open up WMI security: http://bsod2600.home.comcast.net/~bsod2 ... s.html#FAQ

Thanks for the tips,

I've given pearl the full path... Im not entirly sure how to run the sciprt manually so lets how the path thing works!

Edit:
Looks like it must be the pearl, ive given eveyone remote access to WMI and im still getting this error

09/07/2009 08:32:03 AM - SPINE: Poller[0] Host[11] ERROR: Empty result [Leeds-ts01]: 'perl C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\cacti\scripts\w32_query_TerminalService.pl 192.9.200.52 get ActiveSessions,TotalSessions'

Has anyone had any success getting this working?

You need to clear the poller cache in between poller runs before the full path to Perl is correctly specified.

By running the command cacti is trying to use... so you'd run the following at the command line yourself:

Code: Select all

perl C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\cacti\scripts\w32_query_TerminalService.pl 192.9.200.52 get ActiveSessions,TotalSessions

this may sound like a daft question, but does perl come with the windows installer or do i need to instrall it manually?

To answer my own daft question.... No it doesnt. Its all working now, thanks everyone for your help.
