hrStorage Doesn't Work! Won't Change
Kevin Vaughn
counters never update unless the SNMP service is restarted. the object IDs
I'm trying to query are under 1.3.6.1.2.1.25.2.3.1.
I can reproduce the behavior on all of my Windows 2000 servers. I haven't
tried NT4 yet. Is this a bug, or is it something wrong on my end? If this
is a bug, then would you mind sharing with me how you gather logical disk
information for your Windows servers? I seem to be running out of obvious
options.
Below is the Perl script that is returning logical disk space in MB to MRTG.
I actually get values, but like I said, the values never change unless the
service is restarted. I would appreciate any help and/or other ideas on how
to get this information. Please don't leave me hanging if you know
something.

MRTG-centric. I'm not trying to cross-post.
Still, if you have any ideas I would like to hear from you.

My Windows 2000 Pro System agent (SP2) is correctly reporting those
counters in the hrStorageTable. The counters are update nearly
in realtime.
I used my MIB Explorer, but I am sure MRGT is also not
the problem here. Did you check the counters with a MIB Browser?
May be its related with your configuration?

You obviously aren't up to date with your patches (nor have done a search at
support.microsoft.com--its quite useful you know). The problem you report
is known and is fixed in SP3, see
<http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;Q295587>

Thanks for responding. I have checked the counters with a MIB Browser. We
have Castlerock SNMPc, which does report the same values as my script. The
problem is definitely with the agent. I am in the process of upgrading one
of my servers to SP3, so I'll let you know if that fixes the problem.

I appreciate the time you've taken to respond to my post. I originally
checked Microsoft's site, but I guess I didn't go far enough with it. I am
currently in the process of upgrading one of my servers to SP3. I'll let
you know what happens. Anyway, I appreciate your help.

service pack 3 installed. And the numbers only seem to be updated
when the agent starts.
I am using MS agent for now. I will be switching to net-snmp in the
near future. I hope that corrects the problem.
