Host sFlow on older Windows servers

http://serverfault.com – Is it possible to install Host sFlow to Windows Server 2000 and Windows server 2003? I've setup Ganglia on one host to monitor a (mostly Windows) environment and while sFlow works on Win 2k8 machines, it does not on my legacy servers. I just can't get the installation to do anything - when I start the installation, it immediately tells me that the process has prematurely ended. Note: If sFlow can't work there, I'll accept an answer that suggests similar monitoring thingy that is willing to send data to Ganglia. (HowTos)

Stories similar to Host sFlow on older Windows servers

I have 3 machines. One of them collects ganglia data for all 3 of them.

I have 2 windows servers. One has windows server 2003 and the other one has windows server 2008. I have multiple folders which content needs to be synchronized. What are the solutions for this? The folders needs to be synced directly between the servers so third party host like dropbox isn't an option.

Nagios on AIX 1 year 6 days ago

I have just been handed a server running aix 61, and an installation of nagios is running on this server. It is monitoring multiple servers in our environment, i assume it is only monitoring aix servers, the admin that did this install has left the company and there isnt any documentation on this setup.

In a testing environment, I have a windows server 2008 Standard that functions as a domain controller for the domain MyDomain.com. I have another similar machine that is a domain controller of a child domain named MyChild.Mydomain.com.

I'm tryng for two days so far, install and set Ganglia in two virtual machines.

I'm running an Ubuntu VM on a Windows 7 host. I have two questions:

I think that on Windows, localhost is a loopback address, and sending packets to it doesn't actually transmit any data on the wire. Is that correct? On the Ubuntu VM I have a localhost as well, pointing to 127.0.0.1. Is it the same thing? Is it possible to send data from the VM to the host?

I'm coming from munin and a CPU graph contains data for system, user, nice, etc ALL on one graph. I just installed ganglia and setup the basic monitoring. It appears that each type of cpu data is a separate graph! WTF is this and can I change the defaults to combine these into a single per host?

That is my question, how do I combine cpu data into a single graph.

I have 2 virtual machines that can not ping/access one another.

I am setting up a exchange server, and a domain controller as guest machines in virtualbox. All machines including the host are running windows server Datacenter 2008 R2. I have my networking set to "bridged", and static ip's set in both the virtual machines, and host (but not on the network adapters).

On my linux host I try to reach the windows host in the LAN (wifi). If I try to ping that windows host by its name, I get unknown host. If I query in nslookup, then I get valid IP.

VNC also refuzes the host name.

How to make windows host visible by its name? Windows host has dynamic IP.
