I have a collection of Windows servers that I want to monitor via WMI and not SNMP so I can monitor specific services and disk space. I''ve searched through the forums and I see something related for installating a Zenpack for WMI, but I don't know how to go about proceeding with installing and configuring it.

HI Shane I tried installing the WMI data source, but still had no such luck.

Branden:

What version of ZenOSS are you running, what version of Windows are you polling WMI on and what version of the WMI datasource did you install?

Shane,

Currently I have Zenoss 3.2.1-1326 and it is the virtual appliance for VMware.

And this is the Zenpack I tried installing

Branden:

Did you install WMIDataSource v3 and SQLDataSource v2.2 and restarted ZenOSS? (docs/DOC-5913)

I didn't have the SQLDatasource installed, but I just installed and restarted and they both appear now.
