I want to show our Windows people with out installing
Actualy a couple of sites since we block a number of sites.
A Big Bother site would be ok if running bb.
A friend of mine recently started assisting with monitoring a new network, which included some Windows servers which could not have additional 3rd-party software installed. Since he was already using devmon to monitor all the network equipment, he started on a template for Windows servers as well.
We haven't had time to finish the template up as much as I would like (otherwise it would be in subversion), but the following tests work sufficiently for me:
disk
memory
if_load
Other tests which aren't complete yet are:
procs
scvs
cpu
Then, there are some informational tests (installed, system).
Since these are HP servers, the compaq-server Devmon template also came in handy (but, highlights a Devmon design problem that I've been thinking about for a while ... the ability to use multiple templates per host - in this case we just copied all the tests from both templates into one).
There are some changes that might be required on the devmon side, but a lot of the OIDs used are generic, and should allow a relatively generic agent-less setup (but, not all the extra data collected by Hobbit would necessarily be collected).
If you're interested, I will put the microsoft-windowsserver template ...
I also intend to work on some more for AD, maybe Exchange etc.
