Hello All,
I'm testing zenoss in our primarily windows environment. I have zenoss-1.1.2 installed on a CentOS 5 (RHEL 5) box, monitoring 10 windows servers. I've been really impressed with the product. I began monitoring 5 servers with just SNMP, and 2 days ago installed ZenWin to gather service/log info from our Windows boxes. That install seemed pretty straight forward, worked through a few kinks, but had it working great. I added another 5 windows servers to monitor, and everything seemed to be working well. I noticed 2 of my servers this morning were not reporting WMI info. I restarted the 3 Zenoss services on the Windows server running ZenWin, same situation. I decided to restart the server running ZenWin (it's just on a Windows Server 2003 Standard Ed. Devel box). When the server came back up, there were 5 servers not reporting. All of these servers have worked in the past, and now they were different servers. Upon restart, the zeneventlog.log showed: 2007-05-09 13:34:14 INFO zen.SendEvent: SendEvent thread started. 2007-05-09 13:34:14 INFO zen.zeneventlog: reloading configuration 2007-05-09 13:34:15 WARNING zen.zeneventlog: skipping srv105.domain.lcl has bad wmi state 2007-05-09 13:34:15 WARNING zen.zeneventlog: skipping srv106.domain.lcl has bad wmi state 2007-05-09 13:34:15 WARNING zen.zeneventlog: skipping srv107.domain.lcl has bad wmi state 2007-05-09 13:34:15 WARNING zen.zeneventlog: skipping srv108.domain.lcl has bad wmi state 2007-05-09 13:34:15 INFO zen.zeneventlog: Com InterfaceCount: 24 2007-05-09 13:34:15 INFO zen.zeneventlog: Com GatewayCount: 0 2007-05-09 13:34:15 INFO zen.zeneventlog: tested 6 devices in 0.86 seconds 2007-05-09 13:35:14 INFO zen.zeneventlog: Com InterfaceCount: 24 2007-05-09 13:35:14 INFO zen.zeneventlog: Com GatewayCount: 0 ... etc. zenwinmodeler.log shows: 2007-05-09 13:24:27 INFO zen.SendEvent: SendEvent thread started. 2007-05-09 13:24:27 INFO zen.zenwinmodeler: reloading configuration 2007-05-09 13:24:27 INFO zen.zenwinmodeler: collecting from srv001.domain.lcl using user domain\zenoss 2007-05-09 13:24:30 INFO zen.zenwinmodeler: collecting from srv002.domain.lcl using user domain\zenoss 2007-05-09 13:24:32 INFO zen.zenwinmodeler: collecting from srv004.domain.lcl using user domain\zenoss 2007-05-09 13:24:35 INFO zen.zenwinmodeler: collecting from srv101.domain.lcl using user domain\zenoss 2007-05-09 13:24:38 INFO zen.zenwinmodeler: collecting from srv102.domain.lcl using user domain\zenoss 2007-05-09 13:24:41 INFO zen.zenwinmodeler: collecting from srv103.domain.lcl using user domain\zenoss 2007-05-09 13:24:44 WARNING zen.zenwinmodeler: skipping srv105.domain.lcl has bad wmi state 2007-05-09 13:24:44 WARNING zen.zenwinmodeler: skipping srv106.domain.lcl has bad wmi state 2007-05-09 13:24:44 WARNING zen.zenwinmodeler: skipping srv107.domain.lcl has bad wmi state 2007-05-09 13:24:44 WARNING zen.zenwinmodeler: skipping srv108.domain.lcl has bad wmi state 2007-05-09 13:24:44 INFO zen.zenwinmodeler: tested 10 devices in 16.69 seconds 2007-05-09 13:24:44 INFO zen.zenwinmodeler: reloading configuration 2007-05-09 13:24:44 INFO zen.zenwinmodeler: tested 0 devices in 0.05 seconds 2007-05-09 13:24:45 INFO zen.zenwinmodeler: reloading configuration ... etc. I have successfully monitored all of these servers (prior to adding the 5 more), so it should not be a rights issue. I have restarted the "Windows Management Instrumentation" service on one of the failing servers, but it made no difference. The servers are a mix of Windows 2000 Server SP4, Windows Server 2003 Standard Ed. SP1, and Windows Server 2003 Standard Ed. R2. The server hosting the ZenWin processes is an R2 server. I've replaced domain/computer names in the logs above. It almost seems as if it gets too many WMI queries going and subsequent ones fail. Any thoughts? Any of you using ZenWin to monitor many Windows Servers? Any help is greatly appreciated. Getting ZenWin working will be critical to using Zenoss in production.
