Re: [Bigsister-general] Monitoring windows servers - helpwith uxmon-net

["david d" <suppressed>]

Here's the uxmon-net from one of my windows boxes (this one is from my
bigsis box, running 1.0.2pre).  I'm also using the 1.0.2 msi agent on my
other boxes.  Those uxmon-net files are very similar to this file,
except for pointing to the proper bsdisplay.  Is your DESCR line correct
for the localhost?  Is the agent load on the box you are attempting to
monitor?

# Agent Configuration File

# DESCR           features=unix,linux                     localhost
# DESCR		features=unix,sysv,solaris		someotherhost

DESCR		features=windows	localhost

Subject: Re: [Bigsister-general] Monitoring windows servers - helpwith
uxmon-net

I've wasted hours of my time trying to get the syntax right in uxmon-net

to monitor my windows drive.  No one has done this and could offer any 
insight?  I've even been pouring through the perl source code trying to 
figure it out.  I would have given up and moved on but this is the third

monitoring package I've tried - so far they've all been difficult to get

setup and running.

I've gotten a little further than the "no file systems monitored" 
message I had before. With this config line:
localhost    fs="Local Disk"(5%-15%),D:(2%-4%) frequency=1 diskfree

I get:
disk UNKNOWN: Local Disk (no data available)
disk UNKNOWN: D: (no data available)
disk UNKNOWN: 0 (no data available)

...on the monitoring page.  I think its trying to match some string I 
don't have right.  Thats why I was trying the volume name "Local Disk", 
as well as just a drive letter. I think I've had more luck using 
diskfree than disk.

diskperf is on, and I've rebooted the server.

I started going down the route of using SNMP, as some have suggested.  I

ran snmpwalk against the server, and as I thought, there's no agent 
running there.  I don't want to have to find, download, install, secure 
and configure an snmp agent on all our servers.  So that option is out.

Thanks for any help.
