Hello,

We are currently running Zenoss 5.0.7 and currently have 115 windows servers being monitored. 110 of those we are monitoring via WinRM. 5 of them are virtual, Windows 2012 Guest machines on VMWare hosts (not sure of our VMWare version) that are using SNMP.Those 5, if switched to be monitored by WinRM become inaccessible, the CPU usage climbs to 100% and they are unresponsive. Oddly, Zenoss doesn't show them as 'down' because they still respond to ping, but file shares and RDP no longer respond. These are not our only virtual serverswe have, others in a seperate location can be monitored by WinRM without issue, and all of our physical servers can be monitered via WinRM. Has anyone experienced anything similiar, or have some ideas on anything that we can check

Thank,

ThatOneGuy

Sorry it took so long to get back, I had to wait for a good time to try. I moved the device to the class that uses WinRM and told it to Model the device. The first time I tried, the server locked up and had to be rebooted. The second time, it was able to model it. Here's the output:

ThatOneGuy,

I've seen some cases where the Zenoss suggested WinRM config acctually opens up serious performance problems.

Consider the 'suggested' configuration:

Most of these are quite excessive. In most cases performance issues with WinRM during modeling and polling can be resovlved by dramatically limiting the number of sessions, processes and reducing the shell timeout.

Give that a try and let me know if you have any success.

Take care!

Thanks, I'll test adjusting the values, and see how it goes.

ThatOneGuy,

Good luck man. If it doesn't help we can dig deeper into those specific servers.

Take care!
