Windows Server 2003/2008 snmp help

[akio_outori]

Our company uses a mix of linux and windows machines. On both sets we monitor statistics and alerts using snmp. However, currently we don't have a good implementation for alerts on windows server machines, and I'm trying to see if we can create similar alerts to what we have in linux.

Basically, what this would be is something like: An snmp oid that changes state when cpu utilization is over a certain threshold, one that alerts when the system is low on disk space, etc. I believe that this is going to require creating custom oids for the windows systems, but I'm at a loss for how to do that... Does anyone have any good resources for writing these?

Thanks in advance

This company creates custom builds: - http://wingpath.co.uk/docs/modsnmp/modbusoids.html (Obviously not free)

anyone have any good resources for writing these?

I expect someone out there on the internet does. It all takes a bit of searching, tracking down, and of course that priceless commodity - Time.
