Windows – graph memory usage for windows in cacti

cactiwindows

Can I graph memory usage in windows for cacti?
We are running cacti version 0.8.7i on windows.

When I go into a windows server device and go to the "Associated Graph Templates" section. There is a drop down list "Add Graph Template"
I see one that says "Linux – Memory Usage" but I assume this only works for linux machines?
I also see Cisco Cpu Usage. Can I use any of these ?

short answer: Yes.

long answer: Install the windows SNMP server. From there on you will have to figure out which SNMP ID holds the windows memory. (cheat:

.1.3.6.1.2.1.25.2.3.1.5.6 – Total physical memory
.1.3.6.1.2.1.25.2.3.1.6.6 – Used physical memory
.1.3.6.1.2.1.25.2.3.1.6.6 – Total virtual memory ["virtual"="swap" in Windows lingo]
.1.3.6.1.2.1.25.2.3.1.6.6 – Used virtual memory)

After this: Profit!
