Hi Adam,

  Thanks. Tricky this – I’m trying to sell observium to management, who are playing hardball and trying things like netsight from extreme (any negatives for this!?). Anyway, monitoring exchange and MSSQL are big positives towards my argument.

WMIC is used for the connection and querying, so perhaps I’d best look at the php behind it if time permits.

Cheers

Andy

Hi Andy,

The WMI code was contributed by a user who seems to have vanished.

I'm not sure if there's anyone around who knows how it works, certainly myself and the other official developers don't have any WMI experience.

I've never used it and I'm not sure if anyone else is using it. The lack of replies suggests the latter.

adam.

Subject: [Observium] wmi calls

Hi all,

  I’m trying to get observium work with some of our windows servers, particularly for mssql and exchange stuff.

Couple of Q’s –

Exchange – it’s not pickup up any data, but maybe this is because we’re using 2003 – is this “supported”. I use the quotes as the wmi stuff is listed as very much in development so possibly not working..

MSSQL – again no data, all zeros like with exchange.

I tried the polling.php wmi specific command, but I can’t see any wmi stuff particularly – just the standard snmp.

Thanks in advance

andy
