Monitoring distributed networks
My company services a number of servers for various customers, and would like to do the monitoring from our own server.
Since this will require a setup of routers and firewalls, I am aware that it's not easy, but I have been spending the better part of a week trying to get it to work, and still to no avail.
I have opened the ports 161,162,513,514,135,445
I have installed SNMP on the customer server, set it up to accept connections on the "public" community, accept packages from any host, the traps ares set to communicate with the ip-number of our server, I have set DCOM Default impersonation to "Identify".
And still I get no WMI or SNMP response from remote server, but local servers work fine.
I am completely sure I have set login/passwords correctly, and have even tried the trick with setting domain@user instead of domain\user
On the snapshop page of the remote server (domain controller) I have no data for CPU utilizations and so forth, even though I do have for "Todays availability, Response time, and todasys packet loss".When testing performance monitors i get a "The monitor did not respond to the test request" response.
When I look at the windows service monitors I get all green status, but I'm nor sure these really monitor anything.
The OpManager application would really be a godsent for us - if we could get it to work, but I am beginning to doubt it.
Can anybody help?
- anybody got it working in similar scenario?
