Hi,

This is to answer the assertion that Cricket does not run in Windows or that
it has been reported running in Windows but there is no proof or
documentation about it.

I'm able to run Cricket in Windows 2003 Server and Windows XP Workstation.
See below and/or attached sample configuration.

Regards,
Dandy

Installing and Configuring Cricket 1.0.5 for Windows 2003 Server

1. Perl
Download ActivePerl from http://www.activestate.com/Products/ActivePerl and
install it. It will be installed in C:\Perl> by default.

Check your installed Perl version. It should be 5.004 or higher
C:\> perl -V

Check Perl Package Module
C:\> ppm

2. Perl Modules
Use PPM utility to install the following Perl Modules
MD5 CPAN: by-authors/id/GAAS/Digest-MD5-*.tar.gz 
LWP CPAN: by-authors/id/GAAS/libwww-perl-*.tar.gz 
DB_File CPAN: by-authors/id/PMQS/DB_File-*.tar.gz 
Date::Parse or Timedate CPAN: by-authors/id/GBARR/Timedate-*.tar.gz 
Time::HiRes CPAN: by-authors/id/DEWEG/Time-HiRes-*.tar.gz 

Create the directory C:\>Download and download the following Perl Module to
it and extract it.
SNMP_Session http://www.switch.ch/misc/leinen/snmp/perl/dist   

3. RRD
Download RRD from http://oss.oetiker.ch/rrdtool/download.en.html to
C:\>Download and extract it

Install RRD
C:\> cd \download\rrdtool\bindings\perl-shared
C:\Download\rrdtool\bindings\perl-shared> ppm install rrds.ppd

4. NMAKE
Download nmake utility from
ftp://ftp.microsoft.com/SoftLib/MSLfiles/nmake15.exe to C:\>Windows\
System32

Execute it to extract three files - NMAKE.EXE, NMAKE.ERR, and README.TXT

5. Install SNMP_Session
C:\>cd \Perl\download\SNMP_Session-*
C:\Download\SNMP_Session-*> perl Makefile.PL
C:\Download\SNMP_Session-*> nmake test
C:\Download\SNMP_Session-*> nmake install


6. Cricket
Download cricket from http://cricket.sourceforge.net/download/ and extract
it to C:\>

7. SNMP_Session
Copy the following file from C:\>Download\SNMP_Session-*\lib to
C:\>cricket-1.0.5\lib
BER.pm
SNMP_Session.pm
SNMP_util.pm

8. Subtree-sets
Edit the file C:\cricket\subtree-sets to describe exactly where your Cricket
installation is. It should look like what follows:
----------------------------subtree-sets-------------------------------
# This file lists the subtrees that will be processed together in one
# set. See the comments at the beginning of collect-subtrees for more info.

# This will be passed to collector so it can find the Config Tree.
# If this directory does not start with a slash, it will
# have $HOME prepended.
base: /cricket-1.0.5/cricket-config

# this is where logs will be put. (The $HOME rule applies here too.)
logdir: /cricket-1.0.5/cricket-logs

set normal:
	/routers
	/router-interfaces
	/packetshaper
/switches
----------------------------subtree-sets-------------------------------

9. Global.pm
Hardcode the 'HOME' variable in the file
'C:\cricket-1.0.5\lib\common\global.pm'. Change the line from

$gCricketHome ||= $ENV{'HOME'};

to..

$gCricketHome ||= '/cricket-1.0.5'; 

10. Sample Config
10.1 Copy the following directory
C:\cricket-1.0.5\sample-config

to...

C:\cricket-1.0.5\cricket-config

10.2 Remove everything inside C:\cricket-1.0.5\cricket-config except the
following;
Defaults
routers
router-interfaces
switches

10.3 Edit the file C:\cricket-1.0.5\cricket-config\Defaults and change the
line from

snmp-community    =   public

to..

snmp-community    =   secret

	
NOTE: secret is your network devices SNMP read-only community.

11. Sample Router Config
11.1	Put the devices hostname and IP Addresses in
C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts
192.168.1.1 RT1 ; Cisco 7513 Router
192.168.1.2 RT2 ; Cisco 7513 Router

11.2 Create the following directory inside
C:\cricket-1.0.5\cricket-config\router-interfaces
RT1
RT2

11.3 Edit the file
C:\cricket-1.0.5\cricket-config\router-interfaces\Defaults. Change the line
from

# snmp-community    =   secret

to..

snmp-community    =  secret

NOTE: secret is your network devices SNMP read-only community.

11.4 Copy C:\cricket-1.0.5\cricket-config\router-interfaces\Defaults to all
directories created in 11.2 and delete it from
C:\cricket-1.0.5\cricket-config\router-interfaces

11.5 Capture all router interfaces information
C:\cricket-1.0.5\util> perl listInterfaces RT1 secret >
\cricket-1.0.5\cricket-config\router-interfaces\RT1\interfaces

C:\cricket-1.0.5\util> perl listInterfaces RT2 secret >
\cricket-1.0.5\cricket-config\router-interfaces\RT2\interfaces

NOTE: Don't forget to remove the following from 'interfaces'
-	null interface
-	loopback interface
-	unnecessary sub-interface information from ATM interfaces
-	other useless information

11.6 Edit the file C:\cricket-1.0.5\cricket-config\routers\Defaults. Change
the line from

# snmp-community    =   not-public

to..

snmp-community    =   secret

NOTE: secret is your network devices SNMP read-only community.

11.7	Edit the file C:\cricket-1.0.5\cricket-config\routers\Targets. It
should look like what follows
-------------------------------------Targets----------------------------
target RT1 
     target-type = Cisco-7500-Router
    short-desc  = "RTR1"

target RT2
    target-type = Cisco-7500-Router
    short-desc  = "RTR2" 
-------------------------------------Targets----------------------------

11.8 After making any changes to your 'cricket-config' you need to run
'compile'.
C:\cricket-1.0.5> perl compile
(Cricket should compile your configuration)

11.9 Run collector with the 'debug' option to catch potential errors.
C:\ cricket-1.0.5> perl collector --loglevel debug
(Cricket should create the RRD files in the newly formed
'C:\cricket-1.0.5\cricket-data').

12. Sample Switch Config

C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts
192.168.2.1 SW1 ; Cisco Catalyst 6509 Switch
192.168.2.2 SW2 ; Cisco Catalyst 6509 Switch

12.4 Create the following directory inside
C:\cricket-1.0.5\cricket-config\router-interfaces

-------------------------------Defaults-------------------------------
# switches / switch-ports subtree
#
# I setup a switch-interface targetType to only contain the
# variables that all switch interfaces (ports, vlans, etc) would have
# Modify as you wish
#
# Note this first line of the default target.
# This maps the interface-name variable of each target to the ifName
variable in the switch
# The actual map is in the root Defaults file

Target  --default--
    inst            = map(switch-interface-name)
    rrd-datafile    = %dataDir%/%auto-target-name%.rrd
    switch          = %auto-target-name%
    snmp-host       = %switch%
    target-type     = switch-interface
    directory-desc  = "Switches"

targetType switch-interface
        ds      =       "ifInOctets, ifOutOctets,
                        ifInErrors, ifOutErrors,

13.6 After making any changes to your 'cricket-config' you need to run 'compile'.
C:\cricket-1.0.5> perl compile
(Cricket should compile your configuration)

13.7 Run collector with the 'debug' option to catch potential errors.
C:\ cricket-1.0.5> perl collector --loglevel debug
(Cricket should create the RRD files in the newly formed 'C:\cricket-1.0.5\cricket-data').

C:
cd \cricket-1.0.5
call C:\perl\bin\perl.exe C:\cricket-1.0.5\collector
exit
----cricket.bat----
