Setup: Windows Server 2008 running MRTG & SNMP service
Windows Server 2008 running SNMP service

To start I'm trying to monitor CPU usage from another server. When I try to run MRTG on the following config file this is what happens:

#CONFIG

To Troubleshoot I started by confirming SNMP calls:

C:\snmpwalk -v 2c -c public 192.168.1.5 .1.3.6.1.2.1.25.5.1.1.1
HOST-RESOURCES-MIB::hrSWRunPerfCPU.1 = INTEGER: 327894250
HOST-RESOURCES-MIB::hrSWRunPerfCPU.4 = INTEGER: 190031
(all results removed due to length)

C:\snmpgetnext -v 2c -c public 192.168.1.5 .1.3.6.1.2.1.25.5.1.1.1
CPU
HOST-RESOURCES-MIB::hrSWRunPerfCPU.1 = INTEGER: 327924320

snmpwalk and snmpget both work but snmpget does not

C:\snmpget -v 2c -c public 192.168.1.5 .1.3.6.1.2.1.25.5.1.1.1
Error in packet
Reason: (noSuchName) There is no such variable name in this MIB.

First problem - you need two OIDs.

Second problem - have you tried querying this OID by hand doing an

snmpwalk of the device? If that works, you can always do this:

Target[192.168.1.5-cpu]: .1.3.6.1.2.1.25.5.1.1.1.0&.1.3.6.1.2.1.25.5.1.1.1.0:[hidden email]

and just put a noi or noo on your options line.

Paul,

thanks for the reply.

If you check the bottom of my first post you can see the SNMP calls I did.

I added the second OID you had posted (just duplicating the OID I was using) and I added the option "noi" (noo returns same results as noi). It still has a similar error but has changed from:

error status: noSuchName
index 1 (OID: 1.3.6.1.2.1.2.2.1.10.0)

to

error status: noSuchName
index 1 (OID: 1.3.6.1.2.1.25.5.1.1.1.0)

This is closer I think since the first OID error was not the hrSWRunPerfCPU OID whereas the second error code is (.1.3.6.1.2.1.25.5.1.1.1 = hrSWRunPerfCPU).

Try this 1.3.6.1.2.1.25.3.3.1.2.1&1.3.6.1.2.1.25.3.3.1.2.1:public@your server

This is what I use for cpu on a windows 2000 server.

Try doing a snmpget on the above OID to be sure it is what you want in your config.

good luck.

Thanks for the input everyone. It appears as though I had the correct setup the first time I configured this, but the data didn't seem right so I kept messing with it and the config just went down hill from there.

Thanks.

I'd suggest running cfgmaker with the generic host template from http://www.steveshipway.org/cfgmaker which will probe the host and add appropriate MRTG stanzas for whatever variables it can find. It also does some pretty things if you have multiple CPUs and storage by making combined routers2 graphs (if you're using Routers2 as the frontend, of course)

There are a few more host and interface templates there as well for various other purposes.

Is this better than the "host template for windows"

While on the subject: Is there a template for Cisco to do temperature that will show both in and out. This is something I want to do on a Cisco ASR router. By the way this router has several like 8 different temperature probes .

Thanks

> Is this better than the "host template for windows"

The generic template is a combination of the Windows template, UCD template, generic UNIX template, and Cisco template. It probes to identify what sort of server we're dealing with; by using this, you can have one host template for all your devices, which should be easier for all.

Maybe not yet... but if you take the existing cisco template and modify it to graph multiple temperature sources onto one graph then you can submit the updated template...?

One problem I've had with Cisco temperatures is that they are TOO detailed. There were a large number of different sensors in many different locations... I wrote a separate plugin that just takes every temperature reading it can find on a device and grabs the highest value, then outputs that.
