Is it possible to monitor overall CPU load/Free Memory/Disk Space/etc through WMI? This install is at an army base, and the only snmp allowed is version 3 and for the life of me I can't seem to get net-snmp configured to monitor these.
It's not currently possibly with Orion or APM to monitor the overall CPU/Memory or any disk space information using WMI or SNMP. You might want to take a look at installing SNMP Informant on your servers, which will make then accessible via SNMPv3. Then you can use Orion to monitor these performance metrics. No APM needed.
I'll look, I was hoping to not have to install/purchase anything else. It looks like informant requires nudesign or some other snmpv3 agent to work, I'll have to see if I can get it to work with net-snmp.
You are correct but $20.00 for NuDesign's SNMP Agent might be worth it in the end. Good luck.
APM 2.0 will have script monitors that will allow you to collect data from Linux and Unix machines use of SNMP. You'll just need an SSH connection. We will provide some scripts out of the box. You will also be able to leverage Nagios scripts, which should give you a substantial library to choose from.
