Hi,
I'm running MRTG under Windows 2000. I'm using external scripts to query
certain parameters in a considerable number of Windows servers through WMI.
These scripts send a ping to check if the servers are up before querying them.
Everything had been working fine, but recently I noticed that one server
stopped responding to WMI queries, altough it was up an running; the WMI
service seemed to stop responding. This caused my entire MRTG system to pause,
since the WMI query was waiting forever.
Has anyone ever had this problem? Is there any workaround? I found that from a
WinXP or Win2k3 computer you can rewrite the scripts to use
SWbemLocator.ConnectServer instead of 'GetObject("winmgmts:...', and use the
wbemConnectFlagUseMaxWait flag so as to shorten the timeout for the
SWbemLocator.ConnectServer. Unfortunately, I'm still using W2K and I plan to
keep using it for some time.
