ActiveXperts uses WMI (Windows Management Instrumentation) to collect data about (remote) Windows computers.
WMI is part of Windows operating systems and installed by default.
Please check out the following:
- Check the Services applet on the monitoring server and monitored server to verify that the WMI services are indeed running.
- Make sure that firewall settings are not prevent you from accessing the remote computer through WMI.
Windows ships with the WMIC command line utility ('Windows Management Instrumentation Command-line'). Use this utility to check if WMI is working fine and to check credentials.
- Try to query the Termian Serivces counter on the monitoring machine:
WMIC /node:localhost PATH Win32_PerfRawData_LocalSessionManager_TerminalServices GET ActiveSessions, InactiveSessions, TotalSessions
- Use the same command from a console window on the monitored server:
WMIC /node:localhost PATH Win32_PerfRawData_LocalSessionManager_TerminalServices GET ActiveSessions, InactiveSessions, TotalSessions
-
Finally, run the command from the monitoring server to check CPU usage on the monitored server:
WMIC /node:computername /user:user /password:password PATH Win32_PerfRawData_LocalSessionManager_TerminalServices GET ActiveSessions, InactiveSessions, TotalSessions
