DHCP monitor for Windows Server?

If anyone is wondering what the DHCP scope monitor should do - here is some a suggestions.

• Use a Datasouce to identify that a Windows server is running DHCP
• Retrieve the scopes that exist
• Retrieve the number of IP addresses in the scope range ass well as the number of unassigned IP addresses
• Create a threshold for an alarm if # unassigned  IP addresses is below a specified value or the % of devices that are unassigned drops below a specified %.
• Graph scope #, assigned #, unassigned #

Or something like that.

I have a set of Powershell scripts that we use to monitor DHCP if you're interested.

Hi Dave - We're always happy to help with adding or extending device metrics.  We'll be in touch to get more details re what you'd like to see.

Coincidentally I was just looking for the same thing.  How can I monitor the progress to get some DHCP scope monitoring capabilities?

Yes, this would be a very handy feature. We often get wireless DHCP scopes getting full.

Also needing Windows DHCP Server monitoring here, would be very nice to have it on LM

I agree!! This would be a fantastic datasource to add to the collection of windows server datasources.

There are 2 DataSources in core that address this:
