We have a fair number of W2K servers where the PerMon counter syntax is in numerical format. For example, we have a Windows cluster setup with identical builds. On one node, we see PerrfMon counters as we would expect:
\Processor(_Total)\% Processor Time
\Processor(0)\% User Time
\Processor(1)\% User Time
\Processor(2)\% User Time
\Processor(3)\% User Time
\Processor(_Total)\% User Time
\Processor(0)\% Privileged Time
\Processor(1)\% Privileged Time
\Processor(2)\% Privileged Time
\Processor(3)\% Privileged Time
\Processor(_Total)\% Privileged Time
But from the other node we see this:
\4062\4072
\4062\4074
\4062\4076
\4062\4078
\4062\4082
\3892\3894
\3892\3896
\3892\3898
\3892\3900
\3892\3902
\3892\3904
\3892\3906
\3892\3908
\3892\3912
\3892\3914
This obviously is wreaking havoc on trying to gather CPU usage information through Perf Counters. Why do some servers exhibit this behavior, and how do we get them all set to the standard of text-based counters?
