You'll either need to try the SNMP Informant on the Windows systems, or
(and I recommend this if you can figure it out) use the WMI Native Poll
Zenpack + maybe the Dell OpenManage Zenpack on the Zenoss server.
Read the admin guide about binding templates etc. The big problem right
now is that as far as I can see, you'd want to have standard windows
systems use the /Server/Windows group with the NativePoll bound to it,
but the dell systems you'd probably want something like
/Server/Windows/DellOpenManage with the dell template bound instead or
in addition to (? not sure really). The issue is that Zenoss 2.1.2 seems
to not work right for WMI checks for /Server/Windows/{any subgroup}. So
you'd have windows service monitoring barf unless you / they /someone
fixed that.
I do wish they'd release a 2.1.3 with the subgroup monitoring working,
or someone would point me at a patch.

Hi all, first post here.
Im jsut trying to find some basic information - I have been tasked to do some
performance monitoring of lots of windows based servers and I have a few
questions which I have been unable to find easy answers to in the
documentation/forums - although i'm sure its there. . .any help to get me
started would be much appreciated!
1) Firstly, all the windows machines have snmp and wmi (some are Dell with openmanage installed) - would I need to install anything else to get cpu/io/ram graphs?
2) Will this data be stored in the mysql database so that reports can be
produced?
I'm sure I have forgot half my questions, and the ones posted probably have
obvious answers - but any help is much appreciated!
Cheers
