[rrd-users] Re: RRD on Linux monitoring Windows Perfmon

[Warnes, Jason SktnHR]

Why not just install the SNMP service on your Windows boxes and monitor them
the same way?  Just a thought...

Subject: [rrd-users] RRD on Linux monitoring Windows Perfmon


Hi all, I've been using RRD for a couple of years to graph the output of
SNMP and rstad for our routers and Unix/Linux servers. However, we are
getting some Windows servers, and I would love to be able to monitor them as
well. Windows has a "perfmon", and I was wondering if any of the linux users
has been able to successfully request metrics from the windows perfmon
daemon?

I've read how you can ftp the files off of the windows box, then create the
rrd files that way, but that is rather messy. I would like to query things
things off the fly with some command line tool (snmpwalk but for windows
perfmon . . . winwalk? :)

If anyone used a linux based client that can query windows-perfmon (or even
some other way to monitor windows performance metrics, as windows SNMP is
rather limited in its perf information), please let me know. Thanks for your
time all, your input is always appreciated.
