I am new in Zabbix and need help in using perf_counter. I read manual and try to add perf_counter to graph

First i added line to zabbix_agentd.conf

alias=PP : perf_counter[\Processor(_Total)\% Processor Time]

but how add this parametr PP to graph. I am traying add item "PP" but what should I type in field Key ?

you don't need to add "perf_counter[\Processor(_Total)\% Processor Time]" in the agentd.conf, you just add the item in the Zabbix server

(and the agent will perform the query on the perfcounter you specified on behalf of the Zabbix server and/or the Zabbix proxy)

just have a look at the Windows template (for example) to see how the perfcounter items are defined
