    Performance Counters

    When ever I try to add a Physica Disk performance counter via the Zabbix Front end i always get a value of 0. I can add other counters such as Terminal Services etc..

    Here is the item that I used: perf_counter[\PhysicalDisk(0)\% Idle Time]

    Has anyone else had this problem or found a solution for it? I can get it to work via the zabbix.conf.

    Thanks.

      surely this has to be a priority for most users to be able to view physical disk or other counters on windows servers?

      am i doing something wrong or is it still a bug?

      thanks.

          Are your zabbix logs telling you anything? Up the Debug level to 4 if they're not. This would probably provide more insight into what's going on. Also check your items in the database. The Zabbix frontend could be messing with the value especially since it contains '\' it could be trying to escape those characters and might not be passing them correctly to the agent.

              I'm just pulling this out of memory, but for perf_counters involving discs don't they need to be specified something like

              Code:
              \PhysicalDisk(0 C:)\% Idle Time
              I believe that will solve your problem as i monitor things using this method.

                  I have just done another test and I get this error in my server logs:

                  026995:20060401:142740 Getting value of [perf_counter[\PhysicalDisk(0 P\% Idle Time]] from host [SERVERNAME] failed (ZBX_ERROR)
                  026995:20060401:142740 The value is not stored in database.

                  So do all performance counters work via the zabbix interface with beta 8?

                  Debug = 4:

                  I get this in the log files

                      i went back and checked... and i actually have these all in the config files on the hosts themselves... not as perf_counter[] stats in the server... so maybe they haven't gotten to making all the perf_counters work from the server?

                      Alexei? any progress report on this I know it's a relatively old "bug"?

                          Still no response. So i am thinking that this must be a bug then? Any chace on getting this fixed before the final release of 1.1?

                          Thanks.
