plethora of windows nsclient scripts

Alives · Cacti User Joined: 11 Jul 2005 Posts: 103

This is a dump of all the templates i have made to run checks on my windows server environment. It uses a perl script to check against a windows machine running nsclient.

I just grouped all the templates into a host file. It is the standard windows 2000/xp name, so if you want to import it and preserve your original file, either back it up or rename it.

I have included the perl script to check as well.

I have also included the Perfmon template which is bascially what all these run off of.

Template list:
Windows - .NET CLR Exceptions - aspnet_wp - # of Exceps Thrown / sec
Windows - .NET CLR Memory - aspnet_wp - # Gen 0 Collections
Windows - .NET CLR Memory - aspnet_wp - # Gen 1 Collections
Windows - .NET CLR Memory - aspnet_wp - # Gen 2 Collections
Windows - .NET CLR Memory - aspnet_wp - % Time in GC
Windows - ASP - Errors During Script Runtime

take a look at the data sources and you will see how they send the perf counter info to be checked. just duplicate a datasource and graph and set them up to check the new counter.

how do i get this to read off a server. If i have a Windows 2000 server I have to enable something. What do I enable. I have no problem monitoring my routers as it is just a simple string for the community. But what do you turn on or where is it on the windows box.

Thanks much for your help. O and thanks for the templates as this will be quite usefull for all our servers.

Topic says NSClient...

http://nsclient.ready2run.nl/ <- nsclient official site

Its used for nagios to check windows servers from linux.

If you are running cacti on a windows host i would recommend you rewrite the scripts to use Win32::PerfMon module instead as it will be cleaner and more secure. Also you will have access to WMI.

Would these work for Windows 2003 as well or have the wmi labels changed?

I am getting the following error trying to import the template in 0.86g

Error: XML: Cacti version does not exist.

I have searched for this error message and it says I should only get this if the template is from a newer version of Cacti, but I am running the latest version.

What am I missing?
