Can I use WMI instead of SNMP Informant to get Memory on Windows Servers?
Yes! There are several optional ZenPacks that get all sorts of information via WMI or built in Windows SNMP instead of using SNMP Informant. • The best method is to use the WMI Windows Performance ZenPack as this uses a WMI based collector rather than command datasources. This then protects your service account credentials. • Note that this does have the WMI Datasource Zenpack dependency. This is a good generic way to make your own WMI calls, as it also will protect credentials whereas wmic command based datasources do not. The following Zenpacks are older and use command based datasources. These may not scale as well and may expose service account credentials in Events. However, the Dastrup one also obtains additional information, and both have been in use for over a year by community members. • http://community.zenoss.org/docs/DOC-3379 Can replace the built in WMI, you just bind it to a subclass you like under /Devices/Server/Windows. • http://blog.dastrup.com/?p=13 Is an even more a
