NetXMS Support Forum

Dear all,

I would like to monitor windows server 2003 I/O disk performance such as average disk queue and Disk I/O by using SNMP.

I did try to import WINDOWS-NT-PERFORMANCE.MIB to NetXMS and recompile MIB database.
http://www.oidview.com/mibs/311/WINDOWS-NT-PERFORMANCE.html

pdiskAvgDiskQueueLength -> 1.3.6.1.4.1.311.1.1.3.1.1.4.1.5
However, it doesn't work.

Is there any way to check I/O activity without installation agent on monitored host?

Regards,
Kelvin Sin.

Hi!

Personally I never try to monitor Windows servers via SNMP, but as far as I know, Windows SNMP agent does not provide performance data out of the box. You have to prepare it using Performance Monitor MIB Builder Tool (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc723464.aspx#XSLTsection130121120120). I don't know if this still applies to Windows Server 2003.

Best regards,
Victor
