    Windows Performancecounter PhysicalDisk BytesRead

    I wanna get the values for Read/writes of windows physical disks

    On Windows this works:

    typeperf \234("0 C: D:")\220
    typeperf \234("0 C: D:")\222

    Using Zabbix performance counters I always get 0 back as value.
    The reason is that it is not supported by zabbix agent.

    No meaning if I use an active agent or not.
    Is it a bug or do I something wrong?

    You need to show how you are expressing your item key.
    For something like Average disk write queue length, which is already part of Template OS Windows, it is like this:

    perf_counter[\234(_Total)\1404]

    The way I get my performance counters is to go on the target server, pop a DOS prompt and do typeperf -qx > perfcounters.txt

      I did use typeperf and it worked on windows.
      However I found the problem:

      If you want to use to check File I/O per device
      then you must know how many partitions you have and don't forget to set the quotation marks.
      For example Device 0 with 2 partitions

      perf_counter["\234(0 C: D\220"]
