Windows Perf_Counter trouble

[roman]

Hi everyone,

It will be great if you could help me with such an issue.
I created an item in zabbix to monitor the \Processor(_Total)\% Processor Time Counter for windows server.

Type: Zabbix Agent
Key: perf_counter[\Processor(_Total)\% Processor Time]
Type of information: Numeric (float)

It works ok, retrieves the processor time normally, but when the processor time is 100% on the monitored server, zabbix shows 0% and not 100% as it should be.

This problem I encountered also with monitoring the Physical Disk Time.

For example:

When disk time on monitored server is 27%, zabbix shows 27%;
When disk time on monitored server is 100%, zabbix shows 0%;
When disk time on monitored server is 117%, zabbix shows 17%

Can someone tell me what am I doing wrong?

Thank you !

HELLO

You could try this:

Type: Zabbix Agent
Key: perf_counter [\ Processor (_Total) \% Processor Time]
Type of information: Numeric (float)
Units:%
Use multiplier: Do not use
Update interval (in sec): 30 sec
Flexible intervals (sec): Not flexible intervals
Status: Active
Store value: As is

Works well I have installed:

Ubuntu Server 9.10
zabbix 1.8

sorrry for my bad english

Mucha suerte !!!!!!!!!

Thanks for your reply, Daniel !

That is the exact setup I have for that item.
It works ok, but only when Processor Time is bellow 100%.
For example if I load the CPU to 100%, Zabbix shows the increase, then finally when it has to show 100%, it show 0%, so no trigger triggers..

Any other ideas?
