Anyone else use Cygwin?

I started to gather some stats from our windows servers through the use of cygwin and sshd Smilie

is anyone else doing this sort of thing?

interested in some other indicators I should be checking for...

thanks,
manny


the following is only an example of the type of data I am able to collect remotely:

checking filesystem stats:

Code:
Filesystem           1K-blocks      Used Available Use% Mounted on
C:/cygwin/bin         22019740  11584704  10435036  53% /usr/bin
C:/cygwin/lib         22019740  11584704  10435036  53% /usr/lib
C:/cygwin             22019740  11584704  10435036  53% /
C:                    22019740  11584704  10435036  53% /cygdrive/c
D:                    40963196  10887108  30076088  27% /cygdrive/d
E:                   797064716  41262988 755801728   6% /cygdrive/e


checking memory stats:

Code:
             total       used       free     shared    buffers     cached
Mem:       2097151          0    2097151          0          0          0
Swap:      1046528      58272     988256

/cygdrive/c/WINDOWS/system32/mem:

Code:
    655360 bytes total conventional memory
    655360 bytes available to MS-DOS
    633536 largest executable program size

   1048576 bytes total contiguous extended memory
         0 bytes available contiguous extended memory
    941056 bytes available XMS memory
           MS-DOS resident in High Memory Area

I am not a Windows expert but the System Event logs (Security Log and others?) are worth keeping an eye on?

As far a I know there are many ways to do it (vbscripting, windows powershell). Therefore, I prefer to use nagios to this business.

You might also take a look at Zabbix.
