[Question] How can i monitor the WindowsXP/2003 ?

[BrianCho]

Dear.All.
I know this is very general question for you. Already i searched the google and here forums to get the information.
We have approximately 50 Windows servers which most of the part is windows 2003 and the others is windowsXP.
My problem is.

1. I tried to install netsnmp in windowsXP and windows2003 without any problem and running well.
2. I issued the snmpwalk command from linux box to each two windows box like this.
snmpwalk -v 1 -c public <ip> .

then, I can get the all information from two box.(actually,just I can get a part of oid values in 2003 server. I don't know why)

3. add the windowsxp into cacti which installed before with 0.8.8 in ubuntu latest version to draw the rrdgraph.
(of course, I choose the WindowXP/2000 host template)
4. In WindowsXP/2000 template, I couldn't see any cpu, mem , disk graph template.
5. So, I change the host template to ucd/net snmp.
6. then I can see the cpu/mem/disk template end of the web page.
7. I couldn't see any picture except traffic after 5 min. of course, i did the "create the graph this host"

so. I tried to change something again.

1. I found the several host template in here xml, etc. It ,however, doesn't work. somethime, i reinstalled the cacti because
the old template has some problem.
2. finding the OID value for WindowsXP and 2003 server to change that OID number in Data template directly.
I couldn't , however, find any OID value and even XP/2003 has different OID values.


Just I want basic graph for these windows here cpu,mem,disk,load. Anyone who know about this to fix this problem?
or Could you please give the windowsxp/2003 host template which working well ?

please help me~

many thanks.

I would highly recommend sticking with the Microsoft SNMP agent. Once you've installed that, you'll need to make sure the snmp agent is properly configured (plenty of guides on google/microsoft) and firewalls allow SNMP traffic to/from the devices to your cacti server.
