DHCP monitor for Windows Server?
We had a DHCP pool that was nearing capacity and noticed that LM didn't alarm?
Please can we request some DHCP pool monitoring capabilities 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:
