One of my customers wants to see some kind of report of “workstation performance” of their environment. Something like:
Computers are running with more than 90% of CPU consumption;
Computers that are using more than 90% of physical memory;
Computers that are using more than 90% of hard drive space;
Time to boot
Time to shutdown
The free disk space is at computer properties, but I’ve no idea of how to get the other informations. If possible, they would like to see it in a dashboard format, with graphs representing more than one threshold (a pizza graph for CPU < 50%; CPU >50% < 90%; CPU > 90% and so on);
I was wondering if event viewer events or perfmon logs could provide it.
Does anybody have already worked with fixlets to read perfmon logs or eventviewer events?
We were able to create an integration between BigFix and Nagios - basically creating Analysis to capture data for CPU/DISK/MEMORY/PROCESS. Then using Perl and SOAP API pull this data every few minutes from the Web Reports into Nagios which then gave us a complete monitoring picture of the Endpoints
That would be nice! I’ve checked something about Nagios, it’s really a great tool. Do you have some examples of analysis about CPU and Memory? These values changes in real-time and we’re not sure yet about how to measure it.
More than one customer had already asked us to provide something like it to real-time monitoring for workstations working as points of sale, self service kiosks (like the used by airlines to print your own ticket) and so on.
Ok I think I’m going to add this in our list of proposed prototypes that we can have folks working on. Hopefully it makes it out to lab. Carlos I might be reaching out to you to get more details about what we might like to see in this proposed set of analyses / dashboards.
