Monitoring Hyper -V VM's

[EvilEugene]

actually, I'm not a windows guy, I'm Linux guy
but lets find out whats wrong. try this on power shell :

gwmi -class "MSVM_ComputerSystem" -namespace "root\virtualization" -computername "."

this will shows up all information of your vm.
if not.. hmm.

Get-WmiObject : Invalid namespace
At line:1 char:5
+ gwmi <<<<  -class "MSVM_ComputerSystem" -namespace "root\virtualization" -computername "."
    + CategoryInfo          : InvalidOperation: (:) [Get-WmiObject], ManagementException
    + FullyQualifiedErrorId : GetWMIManagementException,Microsoft.PowerShell.Commands.GetWmiObjectCommand

[EvilEugene]

ok, I ran this command on system which dosen't installed hyper-v,

PS C:\Users\eugenekwon> gwmi -class "MSVM_ComputerSystem" -namespace "root\virtualization" -computer "."
Get-WmiObject : Invalid namespace
위치 줄:1 문자:5
+ gwmi <<<<  -class "MSVM_ComputerSystem" -namespace "root\virtualization" -computer "."
    + CategoryInfo          : InvalidOperation: (:) [Get-WmiObject], ManagementException
    + FullyQualifiedErrorId : GetWMIManagementException,Microsoft.PowerShell.Commands.GetWmiObjectCommand

and you can see, same error message. so I think your should check your system has hyper-v installed.

Ahah! So stupid!))))
This is a freshly installed host planned for testing vm's, but hyper-v role wasn't really installed yet while i was sure it was)) heh. i'm so sorry for taking your time for such a silly thing and thanks a lot for your help)))

P.S. Sorry for not responding you for some time, was away to my customer.

[EvilEugene]

haha so Its solved!

[Boghdan]

Yep! Now it says: "Timeout while executing a shell script"
The Role was just installed and was not configured completely yet. So after some simple shamanic movements should be fine i think)
Thanks a lot again)

doens't work for me

I added the extra line to the agent config on mu hyperv server
I imported the template in zabbix and linked it to my hyperv host, but it isn't working.
If i copy that line and run it directly on my host, i get an proper output.
I run that extra commando's you posted here, and everything is correctly

I'm Running HyperV server 2008 R1 (Core version, the free one)
I'm running Zabbix 2.0.0
