Win32 - Monitor running processes

BSOD2600 · Last edited by BSOD2600 on Sat Feb 25, 2006 1:15 pm; edited 5 times in total

I created a snmp script that will allow one to graph a processes CPU and memory usage on any WindowsNT based host (NT, 2K, XP, 2K3). The Microsoft SNMP agent must be installed; Net-SNMP will not work.

Instructions are in the readme

Updated 12/2/2005:
Added <index_type> to the script, which was added in a recent Cacti version. This makes it so you no longer need to change the PID to the process name.

Hardinxcore: Do you have Cacti set up to monitor hosts and graph different things already? Read through the readme.txt?

zoidberg: My only guess is your cacti version is too old. I created this with 0.8.6c.

1) you don't put the files anywhere... it's best if you import them. Read through the readme.txt
2) When you add the snmp - process info to a device, then click on the green circle, do you see anything being outputted ?

1) Is the Re-Index Method set to Index Count Changed or Verify All Fields ?
2) In Data Source section, did you change the Index Type to hrSWRunName ?
3) Click on verbose query and paste the output.
4) Turn on debugging and paste the relivant section for the process(es) you're monitoring.

The Re-Index Method is set to Index Count Changed, but i have tried both.
Yes i did change it ro hrSWRunName and put the name in the index value.
I have attached the verbose query in a text file as it was long
The log files had the following relevent (i think) entries
