system.cpu.util in windows 2008 R2 Standard is not supported

[dzapata]

Hi everyone,

I write you because I´m having troubles with my windows 2008 R2 Standard server. I can´t monitor the system.cpu.util[,,avg5] on this server. My zabbix says that is not supported, however I can monitor other things in that server, for example host uptime, free memory, etc.

I'm using the following versions:

Zabbix Server and Agents: 1.8.11
Client: Windows Server 2008 R2 Standard 64 Bits.

Additionally, I have another Windows Server 2008 R2 Standard 64 Bits monitored with zabbix and everything is ok, I can monitor the proccessor with system.cpu.util[,,avg5].

¿Any ideas?

I really apreciate your help friends!!!!!

Hello
It's the same thing for my Windows 7 64Bits.
I have installed the 64bit version of the zabbix agents.

Do you have installed the same version (64bits) of the agent on your 2 server ?

(sorry for my english i'm poor frenchie )

[dzapata]

I have the 64 bits agent installed

Hello,

Yes, I have te same version of agent on both servers. Could you resolve your problem?

[JohnShepard]

Perhaps the CPU is in cause.

What is the CPU's type ?

My server had a Core I7

Problem is still here
I look at for use Perf_counter

[JohnShepard]

OK i've found something :

In your windows locate your perf_counter about processor and % time processor

to find your perfcounter on your windows server :
>cmd
>typerperf -qx >> myperfcounter.txt
open it and find entry like
processor_total\% time processor

For me in my french windows it's :
\Informations sur le processeur(0,_Total)\% temps processeur

So in my zabbix frontend i put
perf_counter[\"Informations sur le processeur(0,_Total)\% temps processeur"]

instead of system.cpu.util .....

don't forget the ""

Tell me if is good.

[JohnShepard]

I'm not sure if the value
processor_total\% time processor
correspond to CPU utilisation.

Any master of Zabbix can confirm it ?

[dzapata]

Hello,

The typerperf is not a valid command :S

are you sure that is the right command?

regards!!

[dzapata]

Hi again,

It´s my mistake,

The right command is typeperf and I got the value:

\Processor Information(0,_Total)\% Processor Time

The processor is not I7

[dzapata]

Hi,

It works

In the following URL you can see the description about your question. You found the answer but if I wanna calculate average of the last five minutes,¿how can I do it?

[JohnShepard]

I don't know
I 'll search for it.

I'm not sure it is possible...

With the perf counter we can also see the write and read of our HDD.

Sorry for my typo with typeperf

[JohnShepard]

In fact i've found this for the real % processessor :
system.cpu.util[,,]

this is working only with empty parameters
if i put
system.cpu.util[,,avg5] or anything like this, this is not working for this server..
