If so you need to fix your CDEF's. From the looks of things that's what the problem is. 0.8.7b changed the number of inputs on the graph for better accuracy but it was then removed in the newer versions. This breaks the CDEF's.

]]> Comment on Cloning VM’s with VirtualBox, LVM and Snapshots! by Ross http://www.parkingdenied.com/2009/05/15/cloning-vm%e2%80%99s-with-virtualbox-lvm/comment-page-1/#comment-188 Ross Sat, 23 Jan 2010 10:58:40 +0000 http://www.parkingdenied.com/?p=205#comment-188 Whilst it is a fast way of getting VM's up and running it does rely on you keeping an eye on things so that your VM doesn't grow past the maximum space allocated for changes. So for short term testing its fine. For more long term fun I've been testing lessFS which does data de-duplication. So using the standard VirtualBox interface and VDI files and letting the filesystem do dedupe to save on space. Whilst not "quite" the same speed for building new VM's its a little nicer for long term VM storage. And the dedupe massively saves on disk if your VM's are similar operating systems.

Its confusing because debian slightly altered the version number compared to the package I grab and compile from zenoss. The version I use is from http://dev.zenoss.org/svn/trunk/inst/externallibs/ its the wmi-1.x.x.tar.bz2 file. The version on deb that was broken was 1.1.3 but was listed as 0.1.13 by debian. So yer confusing. Grab the version from that link and try again :) I don’t know what version that is, where did it come from?

I installed WMIC and CactiWmi on my new 0.8.7e. It seems that it works but some graphs seems to fail. For example, the CPU usage is always "nan" and it's the same with the "Exchang 2003 active client logons" or "ntds LDAP" and "ntds ldap connections". Is it normal? I have a second question. Is there a difference between Windows Server 32bit and Windows Server 64 bit? The NTDS auths and ntds ds work with the 32bits but... "NAN" with the 64bits. Last question, is there a difference between SQL Server? It's the same: it works with the SQL server 2000 but fails with the SQL Server 2005. I'm beginning with wmic and cacti; please, be patient even if the answers are easy. Thanks a lot. :) Hi!

I compiled wmic on a different (fresh) Ubuntu install and then copied it to the monitoring server and it all worked perfectly. Whatever was blocking the compiler doesn't seem to actually affect the client, so it's now working. Thanks for your work and for your help! Solved!
