Custom commands for monitoring using WinRM

You can use the custom command datasource in the HyperV ZenPack to create custom data points, graphs and thresholds.

  • Use either DOS shell commands or Powershell script
    • Use any valid Windows executable or Powershell cmdlet.
    • Powershell commands separated by ;. Always end script with ;.
    • For TALES eval, surround by single quotes. e.g. '${here/id}'.
    • For Powershell variables, use 2 $. e.g. $$myvar = 10.
    • There is a character limit of 8192 imposed by Microsoft. Zenoss header is ~450 characters so you have about 7500 characters for your script.
  • Use standard parser to parse the output or create your own
    • Nagios have the form key=value.
    • JSON - script must put data into JSON format with special requirements.
    • ZenPacks.zenoss.Microsoft.Core.parsers.JSONParser - script must put data into JSON format.
    • Auto will save a returned value into a data point.
    • Create custom parser in $ZENOSS_HOME/Products/ZenRRD/parsers/.
  • Viewing script output
    • Create datapoint(s) to collect the data for graphing.
    • Create custom parser to send event or transform data.

Note

Platforms' JSON parser requires placing result under "values" and "<component id> or <device id>" keys. This could lead to additional complexity in writing commands/scripts. To simplify this, Microsoft Core ZenPack provides its own JSON parser - ZenPacks.zenoss.Microsoft.Core.parsers.JSONParser. It expects keys as datapoint names and maps them to relevant datapoints.

Note

For multiple Powershell commands with pipe ("|") surround them in double quotes.

Note

Avoid using double quotes in Write-Host argument strings. Coupled with Nagios parser it may lead to 'Custom Command Error' Critical events and 'No output from COMMAND plugin' messages in zenpython logs.

Example usage

Script with TALES expression
  1. Select a HyperV target device.
  2. Navigate to HyperVVSMS (/Server/Microsoft/HyperV) Monitoring Template.

Using a custom parser

Logon to the Zenoss server and create a python file called test1.py in /opt/zenoss/Products/ZenRRD/parsers and restart Zenoss

The content of test1.py

from Products.ZenRRD.CommandParser import CommandParser
class test1(CommandParser):
    def processResults(self, cmd, result):
        result.events.append({'summary': 'test1 parser event', 'severity': 5, 'test1.detail': cmd.deviceConfig.name})
  1. Select a HyperV target device.
  2. Navigate to the HyperVVSMS (/Server/Microsoft/HyperV) Monitoring Template.

Service Impact

When combined with the Zenoss Service Dynamics product, this ZenPack adds built-in service impact capability for services running on Microsoft Hyper-V. The following service impact relationships are automatically added. These will be included in any services that contain one or more of the explicitly mentioned entities.

Service Impact Relationships

  • The discovered guest virtual machine is impacted by the Hyper-V Host which is impacted by the Host CPU, Host HDD, Cluster Shared Volumes (CSV), Host Network Adapters and Virtual Switch failure.

Usage

Adding Hyper-V Device

Add Hyper-V Device using Basic Authentication

Use the following steps to start monitoring Hyper-V with Basic Authentication using the Zenoss web interface. Please check the Prerequisites section before adding device to ensure the Hyper-V target server has the correct WinRM setting.

  1. Navigate to the Infrastructure page.
  2. Choose Add Hyper-V Server from the add device button.
  3. Enter the Device Name, your Hyper-V server's IP address, user name and password.
  4. Choose the version of your Hyper-V server's hosting machine (Windows 2008, Windows 8, Windows 2012, Windows 2016).
  5. Optionally you can choose a collector other than the default localhost.
  6. Checkmark Model Device checkbox.
  7. Click Add.

When adding a device, please make sure that you choose a correct Windows version. Otherwise the device modeling and monitoring may result in an error.

Add Hyper-V Device using Kerberos Authentication

HyperV and MicrosoftWindows ZenPacks share krb5.conf file as well as tools for sending/receiving data. Therefore if either HyperV or Windows device has a correct zWinKDC setting, it will be used for another device as well.

Add Windows device with same IP address as Hyper-V device

It is possible to have Hyper-V server in both /Server/Microsoft/HyperV and /Server/Microsoft/Windows. Navigate to the Infrastructure page and use Add a single device... from the add device button. Enter the Device Name, your Hyper-V server's IP address and select /Server/Microsoft/Windows device class. For more specific cases please read Microsoft Windows ZenPack documentation.

Configure existing Hyper-V Device to use WinRM HTTPS

Use the following steps to configure Hyper-V device to use WinRM HTTPS using the Zenoss web interface. Please check the Prerequisites section before adding device to ensure the Hyper-V target server has the correct WinRM setting.

  1. Navigate to the Infrastructure page.
  2. Select the Hyper-V device.

  5. For zWinScheme, change value from http to https.
  6. Select the gear icon on the bottom left and click Model Device....

Add Hyper-V Server using zenbatchload

Alternatively you can use zenbatchload to add Hyper-V servers from the command line. To do this, you must create a text file with hostname, username and password of all the servers you want to add. Multiple endpoints can be added under the same /Devices/Server/Microsoft/HyperV section. Here is an example:

'/Devices/Server/Microsoft/HyperV'  loader='hyperv', loader_arg_keys=['device_name', 'host', 'version', 'zWinRMUser', 'zWinRMPassword', 'zWinKDC','collector']
<HOST NAME> host='<HOST NAME or IP>', version='<WINDOWS VERSION>', zWinRMUser='<USER>', zWinRMPassword='<PASSWORD>', zWinKDC='<KDC>',collector='<COLLECTOR>', device_name='<HOST NAME>'

You can then load the Hyper-V servers into Zenoss Core or Resource Manager as devices with the following command.

zenbatchload <filename>

  1. Navigate to one of the Hyper-V servers.
  2. Click the edit link beside Device Class for Discovered Linux VMs and Device Class for Discovered Windows VMs.
  3. Choose the device class for virtual machines.
  4. Verify that appropriate SSH, SNMP or Windows credentials are configured for the chosen device class.
  5. Select Configuration Properties.
  6. Change value of zHyperVDiscoverGuests property to True
  7. Default Production State of discovered guest devices is Production. Use Discovered guests Production State edit link on Device Overview to choose another one.
  8. Remodel the Hyper-V server by choosing Model Device from its menu.

Prerequisites

Configure the Hyper-V server's hosting machine

This ZenPack can be configured to use either the txwinrm Asynchronous Python WinRM Client or the .NET Core based zendotnet service which requires you to configure the Hyper-V server's hosting machine with the correct WinRM settings. In HyperV 2.0.0 or greater, all devices will use zendotnet by default. To use txwinrm, update zMicrosoftTxRx to txwinrm. Please refer to Microsoft Core documentation for more details. You can enable the WinRM service on the Hyper-V server's hosting machine by running Command Prompt as Administrator and executing the following commands.

This command configures the WinRM service, creates WinRM listener and enables firewall exception for WS-Management traffic. After executing the command below, make sure to type y and hit enter to approve the changes. (This step is required and must be run by an Administrator)

winrm quickconfig

This setting allows for the maximum concurrent operation and shells per user. (If you do not want to use the maximum settings, please see note below for more information)

winrm s winrm/config/winrs '@{MaxShellsPerUser="2147483647"}' 
winrm s winrm/config/service '@{MaxConcurrentOperationsPerUser="4294967295"}'

Set this setting if you plan on using Basic Authentication (WinRM default is Kerberos, please see note below for more information)

winrm s winrm/config/service/auth @{Basic="true"}

Set this setting if you plan on using HTTP with basic authentication. (WinRM default is HTTPS, please see note below for more information)

winrm s winrm/config/service @{AllowUnencrypted="true"}

The above instructions use the max values for MaxConcurrentOperationsPerUser and WinRS MaxShellsPerUser. If you do not want to set these to the max, then a value of 50 should be adequate. The default is 5 on both, which will cause problems because Zenoss will open up concurrent requests for each WQL query and set of Perfmon counters.

If you choose to use Basic authentication it is highly recommended that you also configure HTTPS. If you do not use the HTTPS protocol your user name and password will be sent over in clear text. If you have challenges setting up HTTPS on the Windows clients and you don't mind sending the payload in clear text but require the user name and password to be encrypted then using the Kerberos authentication is the best option. HTTPS is not required for Kerberos but is recommended.

If you choose to take the WinRM default configurations you must supply Kerberos authentication settings in the zProperties. The Kerberos authentication process requires a ticket granting server. In the Microsoft Active Directory environment the AD Server is also the KDC. The zWinKDC value must be set to the IP address of the AD Server and the collector must be able to sent TCP/IP packets to this server. Once this is set your zWinRMUser must be a FQDN such as jsmith@Zenoss.com and the zWinRMPassword must be set correctly for this user account.

The HTTPS setup must be completed on each client. At this time we do not have notes on automating this task but are currently in the process of testing several options. To successfully encrypt your payload between the Zenoss server and the Windows client you must install a Server Authentication certificate on tbe client machine. The process for requesting and installing the appropriate certificate can be found at the following URL. http://blogs.technet.com/b/meamcs/archive/2012/02/25/how-to-force-winrm-to-listen-interfaces-over-https.aspx Once the client has the correct certificate installed you only need to change the zWinScheme to HTTPS and zWinRMPort to 5986. If you are still having challenges setting up HTTPS on the client you can execute the following command on any AD server to verify the appropriate SPN record exists for Kerberos authentication.

setspn -l hostname1

If you do not see a record with HTTPS/ at the beginning of the hostname you will need to create the record. For example:

setspn -s HTTPS/hostname1.zenoss.com hostname1

Install the Integration Services on virtual machines

If you want your guest devices to be discovered, the Integration Services should be installed on your virtual machines. By default, most Windows virtual machine has Integration Services already installed by default.

Follow the directions below, if your Windows virtual machine does not have Integration Services installed.

  • From the Action menu of Virtual Machine Connection, click Insert Integration Services Setup Disk.
  • If Autorun does not start the installation automatically, you can start it manually navigating to the CD drive. Right-click on it and select AutoPlay.

Follow the directions below, if your Linux virtual machine does not have Integration Services installed.

  • Download the Linux Integration Services from Microsoft.
  • Follow the instructions in the pdf file.

Average Pressure

Configure virtual machine

Average Pressure will allow to see what the average available memory is at the host level over a period of time. This is great for establishing a baseline and continued monitoring over time to determine if workloads need to be shifted or more memory should be added to the host.

Dynamic Memory allows Hyper-V administrators to assign a dynamic allocation of memory to a VM that draws from a pool of memory on the host. The goal of Dynamic Memory is to optimize memory utilization without sacrificing performance. This also opens the door to greater virtual machine density per host which allows for a lower TCO.

In order to monitor Average Pressure, the Dynamic Memory setting has to be enabled for the virtual machine. Recommended value of Average Pressure should be around 80, if this value is at least 100, then you have virtual machines that are doing paging operations with the itself and there will be performance degradation on the virtual machine.

Troubleshooting

Please refer the the Zenoss Service Dynamics documentation if you run into any of the following problems:

  • ZenPack will not install
  • Adding a device fails
  • Don't understand how to add a device
  • Don't understand how to model a device

If you cannot find the answer in the documentation, then Resource Manager (Service Dynamics) users should contact Zenoss Customer Support.

Caveats

  • After upgrading to version 1.3.4 historical data for processors will be lost.

Known Limitation

  • On 4.1.1 only, there will not be a relations link from the discovered virtual machine guest device to the Hyper-V host device.
