Zabbix Windows agent process monitoring

[PhilipH]

HI Folks,

I'm looking for a bit of help on this if you can. I'm trying to monitor the number of established connections to a Windows application.

I have ran typeperf -qx to determine the peramater that I am looking to monitor which is:

\.NET CLR Networking(softwin[2400])\Connections Established

According to one post I found in these forums I should be able to insert this into the performance monitor string, however I keep getting errors. When I have placed this into the zabbix_agent.conf file in the following manner

PerfCounter=SoftWinCounter,"\.NET CLR Networking(softwin[2400])\Connections Established",5

the counter is inserted into the PERF_COUNTER(), however I get the following error on debug :

cannot get required buffer size for counter path 'SoftWinCounter': [0xC0000BC4] The specified counter path could not be interpreted

I have tried digging into various forms of process monitoring using the likes of

"\System\Net Sockets(softwin[2400])\Connections Established",30

, however I keep getting the same error as above.

Any help is very much appreciated.

Do you want to try using the numeric value?

Perfcounters do not need to be added to zabbix_agentd.conf file.
Instead, add them directly to the host through the Zabbix GUI at Configuration --> Hosts --> Items.

Try making the key look like this:
perf_counter[\.NET CLR Networking(softwin[2400])\Connections Established,5]

And I would either comment out or remove the one you added to zabbix_agentd.conf and restart that agent so there are no conflicts.
