Windows WMI Monitoring Wizard

Post by klee »

I set up Windows WMI Monitoring Wizard but for each of the following services I'm getting status: "UNKNOWN - The WMI query had problems. You might have your username/password wrong or the user's access level is too low. Wmic error text on the next line."

Application Log Warnings
CPU Usage
Drive C: Disk Usage
Explorer
Memory Usage
Page File Usage
System Log Critical Errors

I created a local Nagios account with administrative rights on the client PC for use with this WMI Monitoring Wizard. Is there some additional configuration that needs to be done?

Thanks,

Did you follow this document? It will cover every step required, if you did I would just double check:

No I did not; didn't know there was a writeup :(

I'll do that first.

Thanks,

Thanks, the WMIagent account (as specified in the write-up) fixed it.
