  • monitoring cpu load

    Posted by francisco-lima on December 19, 2008 at 08:04

    Hi,
    Using the currrent resources of the Pandora (without using a plugin, an outer shell script), Is it possible create a monitor to check the CPU load of a machine with more than one processor?

    Thanks,
    Francisco

    Hi Francisco,

    I’m not sure if I understood your question… As far as I know, it is not possible to monitor the CPU load without a plugin or shell script. Maybe with SNMP, but I’m not sure… I use a shell script to measure the cpu (with sar) of my machines… For Windows machines, I think that this could be done with WMI…

    Bye.

    Hi Francisco,

    with the current Pandora FMS resources you can monitor a CPU load in several ways:

    • Using an agent: there are agents for many platforms
    • Using SNMP: if the platform supports it and you have the MIB(s)
    • Using WMI (Windows): you can remotely get the CPU load with a WMI query

    Cheers.
