cpu check plugin

[bobt88]

Hello
i need to check the top 10 processes on windows which use the most cpu with snmp, how would i get to do that?

[hsmith]

What version of Windows? SNMP support is limited in newer versions IIRC.

[bobt88]

snmp v1

[hsmith]

Which Windows OS is it? Server 2008 / Server 2012 / Windows XP / Windows ME, etc etc....

[bobt88]

windows 8.1

Do you know if top 10 processes is something Windows SNMP lets you monitor?

Maybe take a look at these: https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/lib ... 10%29.aspx

These are not guides written by us, so I cannot guarantee the validity/integrity of them.

I would look into WMI if I were you. https://assets.nagios.com/downloads/nag ... ios-XI.pdf

Or use something like NSClient, which will make this so much easier on yourself.

i know i can get if a process is running and its cpu time, i have no idea how to manage the oid to write a script , i need to be able to have this data so i can send it not only to nagios

We can help you with the configuration of the Nagios client, and a limited amount with the WMI stuff. Writing a script for you to get all of that information on the Windows PC is going to be outside of the scope of this forum, especially if you're looking for it to be compatible with things other than Nagios. SNMP can be a very complicated thing, and if there is someone in your organization that understands it deeply, they may be able to help you script it/configure it. Until you are able to get the information you want from the Windows machine via SNMP, there is no way Nagios is going to be able to monitor it.

ok, thank you for your help

Let us know if there is anything we can do for you. I'm just going to mention again that NSClient will make your life 1000x easier for this use case.
