Good question. As far as I know, WUG has no auto-discovery/detect/config
feature. That's the price of simplicity and ease-of-use, I guess...

Hi Antonio,
Sounds like you may have already figured out what I'm trying to do as well.
I have WUG custom services setup to monitor OID's for the percent of free
disk space on each logical drive (on NT Servers). If any go over 94% free,
the server is marked as down. The thing I don't like is that I have to
setup a separate service to check each logical drive. The problem being
that I have to go into WUG and make changes any time we add a new logical
drive. Is there a way that this can be more dynamic (i.e. detect the
logical disk instances and check them based on what it finds for instances)?
Thanks,
Lori

Brad,
There are a number of issues involved in your situation:
1) Firewall -- Since the W2K box is behind a firewall that is performing
NAT, you must have a couple of things going for you to even reach the box
via SNMP. First, 1-to-1 translations for a public IP address to the
associated private address must be enabled. And you should be pointing your
WUG icon to the public address. Second, the firewall must allow SNMP
traffic to flow into the protected network to the W2K server. How this is
done will vary from firewall to firewall...
2) W2K/WUG snmp implementation/configuration. Sounds like what you're
trying to gather are two of the standard PerfMon variables (logical disk
info and cpu info). Problem is that the standard MS mibs to gather this
data from NT boxes don't seem to work for W2K boxes. At least, I haven't
been able to get them working. So as a workaround, I've used some extended
MIB-2 variables in the HOST subtree to arrive at disk-condition information
(by inference). Basically, we can use a mib-walk tool to query the server
to determine what drive partitions are available, what disk allocation units
are used for each partition, and how much of each partition is actually
being used currently. Try GETIF from www.somix.com It's very useful and
free. Then, working backwards, we can set up a custom-service monitoring
situation in WUG that returns an error (DOWN condition) if we go over say
90% usage on a partition.
Hope this helps get you started. Lemme know if I can help further.

To all:
I am brand new to WUG, SNMP, MIBs and this list. I could use some
advice.
I've been charged to configure WUG to monitor a remote Win2K machine's
HD space and CPU utilization. I have to admit that I'm rather
roadblocked right now.
The scenario:
The remote machine runs Win2K Server, has an IP address of 192.168.1.x
and sits behind a firewall and router. The monitoring machine is
running WUG 6.02 and sits directly on the Internet (i.e. public IP
address).
What I've done:
A. On the remote Win2K machine, I've installed the SNMP Service,
configured an agent to monitor "physical," "applications" and
"end-to-end." I've configured a trap for the public community, and set
the trap destination to the IP address of the monitoring machine.
B. On the monitoring machine, I've created a WUG map with a server,
checked the "SNMP Manageable Device" option, set the read community to
public and set the polling method to ICMP. If I right-click on the
server icon and select "SNMP View," the SNMPView window seems to go into
this endless "Getting..." loop.
Any suggestions how to proceed from here?
Thanks in advance,
Brad Dinerman
