Hi Brian,

Yes it is possible, and you don't need the SNMP Informant.

The open files can be monitored with the Windows performance monitor, which in 
return can spit out its results in a csv file.
By using a little perl script you can feed the contents of the csv file into 
MRTG.

There is a description how to do this at http://members.westnet.com.au/psimmo/

There is one pitfall not mentioned in the description:
By default the "Performance Logs and Alerts" services is started under the 
local system account. This account has no rights to use the network, so if you 
want to monitor a remote system you have to make sure the service doesn't use 
the system account.

Hth,

Jan.

Is it possible to monitor open files on a Windows 2000 server box?  I have SNMP 
Informant Standard installed.  I can upgrade to Advanced if it supports it.


Brian
