Ok - do you have this particular problem with any other (if applicable) PERL scripts running on your CACTI system ? Does your SPINE binary reside in C:\cygwin\bin ? I had this issue myself, and resolved it by placing the SPINE binary and conf file in this directory.

I noticed that the DB Stats didn't seem right... So I change the script to pull the raw data instead of the formatted data. It seems closer to what it should be.

Woops... forgot to change the data template -> data source type to a counter...

This also eliminates the need to divide by 100000.

Strange one happening with me....

Setup as per edgonz instructions. I can run the query perl windows_exchangemessages.pl servername and i get the result:

MB_MsgsSubmitted:93 MB_MsgsDelivered:14996 MB_MsgsSent:93 SMTP_MsgBytesReceived:
27507381 SMTP_MsgBytesSent:3286685 SMTP_MsgsDelivered:14963 SMTP_MsgsReceived:74
14 SMTP_MsgsSent:74

But the graphs in cacti are still blank... Can anyone point me in the right direction to try and fix this?

thanks for your time.

Does anyone have any ideas why I would not be able to find the

Win32_PerfRawData_MSExchangeIS_MSExchangeISMailbox

class on my exchange server? I can see the

Win32_PerfRawData_SMTPSVC_SMTPServer

class and return data from it fine.

Server is Server 2003 R2 SP2 running Exchange 2003.

Also in the Exchange (Messages) graph, I am getting data graphed for the Win32_PerfRawData_SMTPSVC_SMTPServer data, but the values are not displayed below the graph. Any suggestions on what to look at?

Hi,

I have a problem with Exchange message template...

Cacti informations

Operating System: win32 (Win2k3 SP2 stdr)
PHP SNMP Support: yes

All other template work properly (Exchange Queues : OK, Exchange Client Latency : OK, Exchange Database : OK, Exchange message stats : Graph don't work!!)

The perl script "windows_exchangemessages.pl" work perfectly

Hi,

I have solved my problem

I think the problem was due to long name to the output query!!!

I have changed the long name in the script :

from
SMTP_MsgsDelivered
to
SMTP_MsgsDeliv

And make a new graph template, new data input method and new data template.

After this modification, my problem was resolved

Thanks for this template

PS : Sorry for my poor english
