Whats wrong with this PerfMon?

[bytesize]

Hi,

I'm constantly getting this error when creating a PerfMon entry:

Parameter [PerfCounter[Processor0Time]] is not supported by agent on host [NewHost] Old status [0]

This is my entry on the Windows agent:

PerfCounter = Processor0Time,"\Processor(0)\% Processor Time",5

...and this is what I have configured as the key in Zabbix:

PerfCounter[Processor0Time]

Can anyone help me out?

Thanks!

John

What'd you have to change to get it to work in case others have similar issues.

Hi,

To get this to work, you need to paste this into your zabbix_agent.conf file on the Windows server:


# Extended Processor Performance
PerfCounter = Processor[Time],"\Processor(_Total)\% Processor Time",30
PerfCounter = Processor[Queue],"\System\Processor Queue Length",30
PerfCounter = Processor[0Time],"\Processor(0)\% Processor Time",30
PerfCounter = Processor[0DPCTime],"\Processor(0)\% DPC Time",30
PerfCounter = Processor[1Time],"\Processor(1)\% Processor Time",30
PerfCounter = Processor[2DPCTime],"\Processor(1)\% DPC Time",30


...and then define the following for each entry in the Zabbix web interface:


Processor[Time]


...this will enable logging of both processor if you have two installed, otherwise it will only display statistics for a single processor. This is useful for creating a standard template which you can deploy to all servers.

Hope this helps!
