[mrtg] Re: CPU utilization

[Garth K. Williams]

I agree with John, and wholeheartedly recommend using vendor specific MIBS
wherever possible.  Where SNMP4NT really shines is when you are using a
"non-manageble" system, or need to get stats that cannot be derived from a
pre-existing MIB.

Good Luck!

Sacha,

	There are known problems with using the Perfmon agent of the SNMP4NT
MIBs, like when you are trying to monitor servers with more than one
processor (I know there are some other problems, but this is the most
discussed).  These options are good and can be a viable solution, however,
there are more accurate methods, depending on your hardware.  If you use
servers from vendors like IBM, Dell, HP, or Compaq they generally have
proprietary MIBs that allow you to more accurately monitor server stats
(Especially since these MIBs are tuned specifically for that type of
hardware).  As an example, I have all Compaq servers and the Insight Manager
MIBs allow me to monitor these without loading any additional MIBs or other
software.   If you use Compaq servers, I have already walked the MIBs and
know the most pertinent OIDS and have the cfg files already done.  Hope this
helps.

If you go to http://www.somix.com/software/mrtg/ you can download hundreds
of templates for different devices. This include CPU utilization for NT. The
templates on this site require you to load Microsoft SNMP Perfmon agent that
comes with the Resource Kit. Good luck.

We are using NT Servers. We would like to monitor the CPU Utilization on the
server. Does anybody know how to do it? If yes, is there a possibility to
get an example?

thanks
