PerfCounter problems in Windows XP

[eaglei15]

Hi All,

Using Zabbix 1.1 server and Agent

I configured PerfCounter params in C:\zabbix_agentd.conf

PerfCounter=NetIn,"\Network Interface(Intel[R] PRO_100 VE Network Connection)\Bytes Received/sec",60
PerfCounter=NetOut,"\Network Interface(Intel[R] PRO_100 VE Network Connection)\Bytes Sent/sec",60

I'm getting:

0 b/s
0 b/s

In the LATEST DATA values

It seems that zabbix can't read the date from PerfCounter in Windows XP

I must say that i have this problem in 2 XP SP2 machines and i also monitoring 2 other mashines with Winodows 2003 server STD

And there i have no problem to get those values:

PerfCounter=NetIn,"\Network Interface(Intel[R] PRO_1000 PL Network Connection)\Bytes Received/sec",60
PerfCounter=NetOut,"\Network Interface(Intel[R] PRO_1000 PL Network Connection)\Bytes Sent/sec",60

61.34 Kb/s
5.35 Kb/s

Also it's strange becouse when i'm checking the NetIn param from command line: C:\zabbixw32.exe test NetIn

I'm geting the same on Win 2003 and Win XP

Using configuration file "C:\zabbix_agentd.conf"
Configuration file OK
[27-Jun-2006 11:20:16] *********** Log file opened ***********
[27-Jun-2006 11:20:16] Collector thread initialized successfully
NetIn [0.000000]

And i'm saying again i'm getting [0.000000] on the 2003 and on the XP though that 2003 machines transfers the values with no problems.

Thanks !!!

Perhaps item's multiplier is set to 0...

[eaglei15]

It's the same template

I'm using the same template for XP and 2003 and Use multiplier => Do not use

And i have the problem now on 3(Win XP) machines at the same time 4(Win 2003) machines monitored with no problem with the same template.

Is there any way to check what zabbixw32.exe gets from windows PerfCounter ???

Did anyone succeeded to monitor traffic on WIN XP with zabbixw32 agent ???

Solved?

I had the same problem like you on win XP with adition of a Win 2003 ent server with the same problem. It seams that the test option doesn't work for network PerfCounters (i didn't try others). But I get data in Zabbix graf if i define traffic item as a float not as an integer! Hopefully this solves your problem to

I found my mistake in configuration

The problem was that in WIN XP you have to write the all name of interface as it shown in perfmon

PerfCounter=NetIn,"\Network Interface(Intel[R] PRO_100 VE Network Connection)\Bytes Received/sec",60
PerfCounter=NetOut,"\Network Interface(Intel[R] PRO_100 VE Network Connection)\Bytes Sent/sec",60

I have to add to the interface name this addition:

- Packet Scheduler Miniport

PerfCounter=NetIn,"\Network Interface(Intel[R] PRO_100 VE Network Connection - Packet Scheduler Miniport)\Bytes Received/sec",60
PerfCounter=NetOut,"\Network Interface(Intel[R] PRO_100 VE Network Connection - Packet Scheduler Miniport)\Bytes Sent/sec",60

So now it's working no problmes and transfers the values of traffic to the server.
