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?</blockquote> Hello Daniel, you can query W2K3 Server for physical memory. There is a table of storage entries (disks, virtual memory, physical memory) in the host resource MIB: 1.3.6.1.2.1.25.2.3.1.2.index<x-tab> </x-tab><x-tab> </x-tab>hrStorageType 1.3.6.1.2.1.25.2.3.1.3.index<x-tab> </x-tab><x-tab> </x-tab>hrStorageDesc 1.3.6.1.2.1.25.2.3.1.4.index<x-tab> </x-tab><x-tab> </x-tab>hrStorageAllocUnits 1.3.6.1.2.1.25.2.3.1.5.index<x-tab> </x-tab><x-tab> </x-tab>hrStorageSize 1.3.6.1.2.1.25.2.3.1.6.index<x-tab> </x-tab><x-tab> </x-tab>hrStorageUsed with the type 25.2.1.2<x-tab> </x-tab>type = physical mem for physical memory. You have to search for "25.2.1.2" in the "Type" field to get the index. Then you have to query "AllocUnits", "Size" and "Used" for this index and multiply "AllocUnits" and "Size" to get the physical memory size (IIRC in Bytes). By multiply "AllocUnits" and "Used" you get the used physical memory (IIRC in Bytes). This method unfortunately does not work for W2K. -vol</body> </html>
