This lets you query any Perfmon counter, as well as filesizes, CPU, memory, disk, etc.
pNSclient is an agent for Nagios (netsaint) but I have a query tool that also outputs the values in MRTG format. This is available bundled with routers2.cgi and on my website Let me know if you want some MRTG templates for basic MSSQL monitoring Steve --- Steve Shipway: ITSS, University of Auckland Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Web: http://www.steveshipway.org/ ** We can only discover new oceans when we have the ** ** courage to lose sight of the shore. ** -- Attached file removed by Ecartis and put at URL below -- -- Type: text/x-vcard -- Size: 155 bytes -- URL : http://www.ee.ethz.ch/~slist/p/42-Steve%20Shipway.vcf -- Unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Archive http://www.ee.ethz.ch/~slist/mrtg FAQ http://faq.mrtg.org Homepage http://www.mrtg.org WebAdmin http://www.ee.ethz.ch/~slist/lsg2.cgi
