monitor memory usage on w2k/2k3 server?

[Daniel maher]

Thank you for your suggestion; unfortunately, it requires that additional software be installed on a Windows machine in order to function.  The plugin calls a .NET-enabled webserver, where a series of specially-crafted asp / vb scripts (included with the plugin) are located.  The .NET webserver then performs the queries on behalf of the plugin, and returns the results.

 

So while it does not require a client to be installed on each machine, it does require additional software to be installed on a system which is not the Nagios box.  Unfortunately, this doesn't work for me either.  I basically cannot modify any machine except the Nagios box.

 

Good idea, though!

You may want to look at Nagios WSC (HYPERLINK "http://www.nagiosexchange.org/Communication.41.0.html?&tx_netnagext_pi1%5bp_view%5d=137"http://www.nagiosexchange.org/Communication.41.0.html?&tx_netnagext_pi1[p_view]=137)  Requires no client.  You may want to check the archives, I vaguely remember a thread about security implications using wmi about 3 months ago...

Hello all,

 

I am looking for a way to monitor the usage of physical RAM on Windows 2000 (and 2003) servers.  I have tried Xavier Dusart's check_mem_2k.pl plugin, as well as Manubulon's check_snmp_storage.pl.  Dusart's plugin fails entirely, while Manubulon's only appears to pull out the virtual memory, not the physical RAM.  What makes this tricky (I suppose), is that I cannot install any agents on the Windows servers; this means no NSClient or any such thing.

 

Does anybody have any ideas?

 

Thanks!
