Actualy a couple of sites  since we block a number of sites.

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.

Regards,
Buchan

Have started up devmon on my classed had it on my unclassed side for a file.
Yes I would be interest though Im retiring in two week so some else may ask.
Be a good solution , since the windows people are some what un-co-operative .

But then I might start consulting on xymon!
