Ah. That's the problem. If we can't ping it, Zenoss assumes that it's not available and most other monitoring stops, and we try not to send events for anything beyond the device, either.

SNMP Informant Agent (Standard Edition) was already installed on the Windows

'zenperfsnmp run' only collects information about 1 of 2 machines currently being monitored (localhost, not the Windows box in question). Also, I don't
think this has anything to do with this problem, but I'm on a private
network and we can't ping any of the machines so ping is currently failing
on this Windows box.

Does the SNMP Informant have to be configured in some way or run as a
service? Or is there something else I am missing?


Thanks,

Hi Ronak,

The default configuration of Zenoss depends on snmp-informant SNMP
extensions to return these values for Windows devices.  Download and
install the free version on your windows device.  Restart your
zenperfsnmp daemon:

    $ zenperfsnmp restart

to see configuration changes take effect more quickly.  By default,
these are reloaded by zenperfsnmp only every half-hour.
