Hi All
As you might have noticed I have been working a bit on getting performance counter reporting into Xymon. I want to know the following from the list.
- How many of you would use this?
- What other performance counters would you like monitoring?
If there is a real need for more counters I am more than willing to step up to the plate and help with scripts.
Regards Neil

I'd love to see performance counters for linux.

I am not sure linux has the equivalent of Windows Performance Counters. Correct me if I am wrong but you would be able to read system variables from the proc directory and report that probably?
I have only been using Linux full time for just over 3 years now and still learning. Love it though.

Neil, I would be interested in any performance counter work you do for the Windows platform. Should you like to do it for the ESX or ESXi platforms I'd be interested in that as well. For now, I use PowerShell and WMI for Windows and VMware's PowerCli for ESX and ESXi to get what I need when I need it.

Hi Raymond.
Thanks for the reply. I think my main aim would be to create a set of scripts with the most useful performance counters for Windows. So my question to the list is this. Which counters do you monitor or would you like to monitor? Like I said if we can get baseline counters covered it will add a lot to the Xymon Project as far as getting more people on board. I am toying with the idea of publishing a article on how to monitor SQL Server performance with Xymon for one of the SQL server websites like SQLServerCentral.com.
Like I said lots of ideas just not enough time.
Regards Neil

I have another interesting problem with acknowledgements sent to hobbit
Just this morning, I had 18 events go A_ALERT state, but when I tried to send hobbitdack to them, I get:
2010-06-24 08:46:30 Cookie 847650 not found, dropping ack 2010-06-24 08:47:27 Cookie 847650 not found, dropping ack 2010-06-24 09:32:21 Cookie 659882 not found, dropping ack 2010-06-24 09:32:24 Cookie 167605 not found, dropping ack 2010-06-24 09:32:59 Cookie 167605 not found, dropping ack 2010-06-24 09:33:18 Cookie 167605 not found, dropping ack 2010-06-24 09:33:18 Cookie 659882 not found, dropping ack 2010-06-24 09:33:20 Cookie 167605 not found, dropping ack 2010-06-24 09:33:36 Cookie 659882 not found, dropping ack 2010-06-24 09:34:09 Cookie 167605 not found, dropping ack 2010-06-24 09:34:35 Cookie 659882 not found, dropping ack
[there are repeats because people kept trying to send ack to it]
That Cookie matches what is contained in hobbitdboard for the event, so they should be found, and these events had never been ack'd before
Has anyone else seen issues of failures to acknowledge an alert?

Which performance counters?
For specific applications? Or kernel/OS/hardware related ones? Or something else?

Not sure exactly what "performance counter reporting" is.
I have one Windows "server". It's nothing more then Win2003 that runs Quickbooks. At this time I simply ping it.

Lucky You.
I have 6 Linux server(which never gives problems) and 66 Windows servers (which is well.... maintenance intensive).No offence to anyone out there but what I am finding is that .Net made programming so simple that most of the code created by the developers (here at my office at least) is a bloody pain to maintain.I have about 10 TerraBytes worth of data on MSSQL 2005 and I use performance counters to profile what is going on where to help me make sure these server are performing as required.
Personally I program in C++/Java using netbeans,glassfish, anjuta etc but it seems here in South Africa there is no work in that arena for me.
I suspect it is different in the other parts of the world.

It's not luck :)
So what are you offering? I can run bbwin on my server if it would help you test.
