Windows monitoring
There are several ways in which you can monitor a Windows host:
By retrieving data using SNMP
By retrieving data using WMI
By collecting data with Windows PowerShell commands (for example, using the remote SSH command execution method)
Let's look into the SNMP and WMI methods in more detail using a Windows 2008 R2 server.
Windows SNMP setup
On a new Windows Server 2008 R2, by default the SNMP service is not installed. In order for Cacti to poll this server, you will need to enable this feature.
