Zenoss will create its own RRD files when it can get data to put in them. Usually this means somehow the collector isn't getting any data for that OID. Are you getting any events like OID XXX is bad?
With WMI it usually is because theres something stopping Zenoss from querying the WMI info, a firewall, a permissions issue or a bug somewhere. chardy's suggestions are good ones. You can also view logs right from the Web UI via settings -> daemons and the various log links there. That said, you wouldn't be able to add a Windows device in the default manner if SNMP wasn't responding at all. It's more likely you don't have Informant on the Windows server (and are using the default template for Windows). With WMI, it may well be you've not set up the user account right, or you've got a system that doesn't like Zenoss. If you're using Windows XP or Server 2000 - 2003R2, 2.2.x works fine, and you should be able to use 2.3 also barring bugs in the new code. If you're targeting Vista or Server 2008, you have to use 2.3 as 2.2.x doesn't support those OSs. Beyond your RRD files missing, are you getting any events / errors in the logs? -- James Pulver Information Technology Area Supervisor LEPP Computer Group Cornell University kenrtx wrote: > I've read every topic I can find throughout google and the forums regarding > RRD files missing. > > I've used LPI, Hostmonitor, and various managed service platforms and have > never had to deal with RRD files.
