Windows – How to monitor CPU Temperature in windows over SNMP

I've had success with Sysinternals Process Explorer. With this, you can search to find what process(es) have a file open, and you can use it to close the handle(s) if you want. Of course, it is safer to close the whole process. Exercise caution and judgement.

To find a specific file, use the menu option Find->Find Handle or DLL... Type in part of the path to the file. The list of processes will appear below.

If you prefer command line, Sysinternals suite includes command line tool Handle, that lists open handles.

Examples

• c:\Program Files\SysinternalsSuite>handle.exe |findstr /i "e:\" (finds all files opened from drive e:\"
• c:\Program Files\SysinternalsSuite>handle.exe |findstr /i "file-or-path-in-question"

I'll be annoying and say monitoring Windows systems should be done by tools who intimately know how to monitor Windows systems and what to monitor in the first place, but...

...suffice to say, Cacti should be able to query WMI (hopefully, the Cacti forum seem to be down at the moment) which should work well in the case of print queue monitoring and most things Windows when thought of.

SNMP Informant is another (costly) way of doing it if SNMP is some kind of super-requirement. The first link mentions perf2mib as an unsupported alternative as well.
