[Orca-dev] Orca and Windows

[Tony van Lingen]

Hi,

oh, Wintel = Windows? In that case, we've been charting it for several 
months now using a home-brewn Netsaint plugin that uses the NSClient 
software to read perfmon data remotely. It gives us direct warnings 
(through Netsaint) and produces orca-readable output.

The problem with this is that the perfmon counters do not always seem to 
reset as expected, and as Jon A. Tankersley pointed out, the counters 
don't have consistent names across different systems. We solve that with 
a configuration file for each system that is monitored, so that NSClient 
won't try to query non-existent counters.

We use a similar thing to chart Oracle databases. This solution suffers 
very much from the same problem as the disk usage graphs: whenever a 
tablespace/schama/etc is added, removed, renamed, a new chart appears. 
Otherwise it works fine.

Would this be a disirable addition?
