zbxwmi : agentless WMI monitoring

[michael.weber]

please check the external script Directory if there the script "zbxwmi" is located.

root@ste-s-***:/# find / -iname externalscripts
[B]/usr/local/share/zabbix/externalscripts[/B]

[vlam]

I still have the same error

Here is the output:

[root@zabbpr00 /]# find / -iname externalscripts
/usr/lib/zabbix/externalscripts
[root@zabbpr00 /]#


But still when I try to test I get

ERROR:root:An error occured with wmic : [Errno 2] No such file or directory
An error occured with wmic.


My script is in the correct place

root@zabbpr00 externalscripts]# pwd ; ll -h
/usr/lib/zabbix/externalscripts
total 8.0K
-rwxr-xr-x. 1 zabbix zabbix 5.7K Dec 28 07:49 zbxwmi
[root@zabbpr00 externalscripts]#

Any ideas

Ok

Got it working on the environment. I have started to create an indept template to something like what you get in Scom and Mom and Sourcing monitoring tools but I am struggling abit with the Discovery rules.
Has anyone created a basic teplate that includes Storage, Network, Services, Processes and eventlogs as those are the components that I still need.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Glad to hear that you were successful

Unfortunaly i dont have any of these. i did not investigate more time in zbxwmi
if there were new interesting template i would be happy to test them, too!

I Need some help with my Storage and Network Discovery rules

My Storage Discovery Rule looks as follow:

zbxwmi["-a","discover","-h","{HOST.IP}","-k","Name","-i","Name,Size,FreeSpace","-c","Win32_LogicalDisk","-f","MediaType = 12"]

My Storage Discovery Item looks as follow:

FreeSpace[{#WMI.NAME}]
Size[{#WMI.NAME}]

My Network Discovery Rule Looks as follow:

zbxwmi["-h","{HOST.IP}","-k","Name","-i","Name,NetworkAdapter","-c","Win32_NetworkAdapter","-f","MediaType = 12"]

My Network Discovery Item looks as follow:

BytesRecievedPersec[{#WMI.NAME}]
BytesTransmittedPersec[{#WMI.NAME}]
BytesTotalPersec[{#WMI.NAME}]

Any advise or help would be greatly appreciated

Thanks

Hi, i have an issue with zbxwmi, maybe someone can give me a hint of whats happening.

When i run this commando via CLI it returns a correct value:

./zbxwmi 10.2.0.233 Started DisplayName Win32_Service -f "DisplayName = 'ISIM Active Directory Adapter'" -D [domain] -U [user] -P [password]

Result:

{
"data": [
{
"{#WMIINDEX0}": true
}
]
}


But in "latest data" menu i dont get any value, although the same command is configured in my item (I've attached the image)

I found this post today.
I've been installing and configuring environment to run the script all day, and I did it .

Many thanks for sharing.

However the microsoft website is too bad to find good documentation on WMI. I even found it, but it's not easy to find the classes and items and their descriptions.

Has anyone done any WMI template with this script?

[rafaelrohden]

I was looking for WMI documentation and found this software.

WMI Code Creator v1.0

https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=8572

With it it is possible to discover all available classes, what is the meaning of each iten, and it is still possible to execute a sample code to see the return of each class.

I'm building a WMI template for Zabbix.
But if anyone has already done this, please let us know.

Hi All,

I have configured a discovery as mentioned above and created item prototypes with macro {#WMI.NAME} I can see the item created but no values for the items. I didn't find any error in zabbix_server.log for this. please help me to fix this issue.

[rafaelrohden]

Hello
See attached file.
I created a template and exported it.
The zabbix version I use is 3.0.4

Some things with WMI do not work the right way.
Some items do not load properly.
So I gave up on using it. But I did not do much research, so if you figure out a better way to use WMI with Zabbix, please tell me.

Hi rafaelrohden,

Thanks for the template but no luck I am not able to fetch values for items discovered.

I am using zbxwmi script with zabbix 3.4 I see no errors and everything looks fine but no values for discovered items.

If anyone used zbxwmi script with zabbix 3.4 and succeeded please help me to resolve my issue.

Thanks in advance.

Do we have a better documentation on zbxwmi ? So far clues are spread everywhere and not clear, not even in zbxwmi git page (last example, create discovery and then prototyping -this is unclear-)

Hello,
I also struggle with the zbxwmi script: https://github.com/13hakta/zbxwmi/issues/7

Can someone explain how the wmi.pw file should look like?

And how can you verify that impacket library is correctly configured?
