Windows Exporter SetUp

[Freddy Mack]

Hello,

I have installed wmi_exporter on the client Windows servers and the localhost (CentOS7) on which Grafana 7.0.3 and prometheus installed on.

I need the procedure to get windows_exporter to download and install and configure on all the environment and to pull the Metrics on Grafana Dashboard.

I have already set the Linux Metrics in place on Grafana and want to Add the Windows as well.

Metrics are:

§                                                                CPU utilization                                   Warning at 89%, Alarm at 90%

§  Memory utilization                          Warning at 90%, Alarm at 95%

§  File System utilization                     Warning at 90%, Alarm at 95%

§  System messages (ex. Errors in /var/log/messages)          Any critical errors reported in logs

§  Disk INODE utilization                     Warning at 90%, Alarm at 95%

§  System process monitoring (ex. Set of services on a server if they are running or not)  Alarm if services are not running.

§  Server Network Interface Up or Down     (Alarm if server doesn’t respond)

 Regards

You would add an additional job in the prometheus.yaml file to scrape
metrics from each Windows machine containing the WMI Exporter. Then
you'd add additional alerting rules & dashboards as needed.

I have Download the wmi_exporter on localhost and clients- but I see the blogs that they changed into wmi into windows_exporter is that necessary ?

If I use wmi_exporter - I have just downloaded on client windows machines- what all Steps required it to work and get the metrics on Grafana.

I have added all the client windows servers in prometheus.yml as well

Wmi exporter is the windows equivalent of node exporter. You need to run it as a service and add that machine to scrape config. Never heard of windows exporter.

You need Prometheus installed and add the wmi exporter target to Prometheus scrape config. Then point grafana to Prometheus.
