Javier. Sorry - I'm referring to Windows 2000 servers, so the standard host MIB should be fine.
Thanks for the info about the CPU's - I'll modify my config appropriately, and get an accurate reflection of how hard my servers are working. :-) The virtual memory calculates properly when I do the snmpwalk - but the values are wrong. I know for a fact the machine has only 4 gig of swap available - yet it returns values which calculate out to 8 gig. I'm damned if I know why. I suspect this means that the swap in use as indicated is double what it should be too. Which is a bit of a bummer. Oh well. I'll just have to live with it. Thanks.

Hi Darren, If you are talking about NT servers, they don't use the same MIBs as the Windows 2000. W2K uses the standard HostMIB, and the older NT uses a private MIB that jffnms does not support. JFFNMS does not detect the number of CPUs on any host, but you can configure the number in a field inside the CPU interface. Also, the graphs should reflect the real number of CPUs, I mean it should add to 200%. JFFNMS uses the HostMIB hrStorage section to get the Disks and Memory information, this is standard for all hosts, not a Windows specific item. To be sure of the values returned do a: snmpwalk -v1 -c <community> <ip> host (host is literal meanning the HostMIB tree).
