<div>Performance counters or WMI are the best ways to get this information. the problem is how to retrieve the data from one of these 2 sources. </div> <div> </div> <div>If you are able to install an agent on your windows host, then you would be able to retrieve this information from several differnet agents. for example, NRPE, NC_Net, NSClient++ allow running script that are loaded onto the windows host. Check_nt with nsClient++ or nc_Net allow access to performance couunters as well as other checks. Through scripts or NC_NEt you can also get this informaiton from WMI. </div> <div> </div> <div>If no agent can be installed then your should use something like SNMP to monitor the performance counters.(like was suggested earlier)</div> <div> </div> <div>Also you could always configure your check_ftp to alert you right away on first failure, and assume that is is because the connections are used up, </div> <div>If your hitting your connection limit, is it due to legitimate usage of FTP, or just people remaining connected and idle that should have timed out? maybe there are settings you can apply to your FTP server to help reduce the issue from occuring. </div> <div> </div> <div>Good Luck,</div> <div> </div> <div>Tony (author of NC_Net) <br> </div> <div><span class="gmail_quote">On 9/4/07, <b class="gmail_sendername">vadi</b> <<a href="mailto:vadi.ksdba@gmail.com">vadi.ksdba@gmail.com</a>> wrote:</span> <blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="PADDING-LEFT: 1ex; MARGIN: 0px 0px 0px 0.8ex; BORDER-LEFT: #ccc 1px solid">Dear Michael,<br><br>First let me tell thanks for all your help !!!<br><br>I am not possible to monitor the total number of users connected to <br>window ftp server.<br>I don't think we can use check_nt and nsclient++ for this …<br>If you know any thing …please help me<br><br>Thanks,<br>Vadiraj<br><br><br><br><br><br>On 9/4/07, Michael W.
