[mrtg] SNMP2CA-STD/Win2k3 SNMP issues

I'm still baffled by this problem. As a matter of fact, I started
digging around in the MS OID's and found....they weren't there.
Actually, under the private.enterprises.microsoft branch, I only get
internetServer.httpServer & ftpServer listed. Am I missing something?
I've gone into the SNMP service and checked all the boxes. I know I've
got the community string set up right, because I can use Getif to walk
the server's tree.

Any and all help with this problem will be greatly appreciated. I'm
trying to get my own perfect idea of monitoring my servers up and
running, but this is really causing me problems, since I'm not being
able to access half of the statistics that I'd like to get into...

If you're talking about insight manager, I installed SNMP2CA on top
of a system that had Insight Manager already on it and had no
problems (besides the diskperf -n, reboot, diskperf-y, reboot thing)

Here are the specs of the system I've installed this on:

Compaq Proliant 1600
Dual Pentium 3 600
256 MB RAM
Windows 2003 Web Edition
Network is a pair of Compaq NC3120's using the HP Network Teaming
Software

There's a question. HP/Compaq has a pile of its own SNMP software
that installs when you setup the management agents. Is it possible
that the installed management software is intercepting/interrupting
SMNP2CA's collection of this data?

As for the diskperf -n, reboot, diskperf -y.... This did NOT work in
my case. I am still only seeing the memory and object branches in
GetIF.

I'd appreciate as much help as possible with this problem, because
I'd love to be able to monitor disk space & CPU utilization on my
servers.

OK.  CHIME!

Actually, logical disk counters will not register with PERFMON if the
diskperf has not been done.  Since SNMP2CA makes a call to the
perfmon dll for logical disk, it stands to reason that until diskperf
is run, SNMP2CA will not see the counters either.

As for why you sometimes have to do diskperf -n, reboot and then
diskperf -y, then reboot, YOUR GUESS IS AS GOOD AS MINE.  Truth is,
on the 6 systems I test it on (XP/2KPro/2KAdvSvr/2003EntSvr, I have
not had to do that once. All systems had disperf -y run eons ago for
SNMP4W2K support.

Also, missing branches are news to me too!  Perhaps it is a timing
thing. On these systems that are missing branches, are they slow
systems?  In fact, we are looking into what optimum timeout values
should be.

(sorry if you were looking for more insight!)

Brian,

I had to do that as well.  I am not sure why you are not seeing the
other trees.  I am sur that Garth will see this and chime in.  (Garth
developed the agent)

I did discover one interesting thing when using this. the 9600.1.1.1
tree comes up only if diskperf -y has been performed. But the
interesting part is that I installed it on a system that had diskperf
- - -y previously done, but I had to diskperf -n , reboot, diskperf -y,
reboot, and then I could get the 9600.1.1.1 tree. No idea why this is
the case and I don't know why you're not getting the 9600.1.1.3 or
9600.1.1.5 values...

I've just installed SNMP2CA on my Win2k3 machine. When I use GETIF to
walk the MIB, I only appear to be getting two of 5 listed trees. I'm
getting the 9600.1.1.2 and 9600.1.1.4 trees (Memory and Objects)

What am I missing? I've double-checked the SNMP service, and made sure
all the checkboxes were checked for what it monitored.

What you are missing is a close bracket after Afuera.  You have
[Afueral:
when it should be [Afueral]:

I am trying to get router uptime to work.
reading the docs I thought it was just putting in like I did below. But
I get an error when I have it in there.
