--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hi,

I use Windows NT and Apache Web Server. I am trying to configure the Get Free Disk Space data source, but it doesn't work. I set then Data Source Type as "Gauge", the Max value, and the partition as "c". but nothing happens with the graph.
The source configuration is:

c:/rrdtool/rrdtool.exe create \
c:/php/php/cacti/rra/disk_space.rrd \
--step 300 \
DS:megabytes:GAUGE:600:0:100000 \
DS:percent:GAUGE:600:0:100 \
RRA:AVERAGE:0.5:1:600 \
RRA:AVERAGE:0.5:6:700 \
RRA:AVERAGE:0.5:24:775 \
RRA:AVERAGE:0.5:288:797 \
RRA:MAX:0.5:1:600 \
RRA:MAX:0.5:6:700 \
RRA:MAX:0.5:24:775 \
RRA:MAX:0.5:288:797 \


And the graph:

c:/rrdtool/rrdtool.exe graph - \
--imgformat=PNG \
--start="-86400" \
--title="Disk Space" \
--base=1000 \
--height=120 \
--width=500 \
--alt-autoscale-max \
--vertical-label="Space" \
DEF:a="c\:/php/php/cacti/rra/disk_space_percent.rrd":percent:AVERAGE \
AREA:a#ED7600:"Space"

What is wrong in the code?
Any help would be appreciated

The 'Get Free Disk Space' is written to parse the output of the Unix command df. Therefore it will not work on a win32 platform. If you know of an equivilant command to do this under win32, that would be very helpful.

Also, you may be able to do this via the default install of SNMP. Try doing an snmpwalk to see what you find.

Alternatively, you can use a nagios plugin.
