Interfaces on Win32

[Cueva]

I have problems creating the right item of monitoring traffic on ethernet interfaces in win2000/2003 servers. Suse zabbix server, win32 zabbix agents.

The item I use is net.if.in[eth0,bytes] but it return with the unsupported error in the server log.

Thanx

Hi. You can't pool interfaces like you do in Linux.

You'll have to use performance counters

This will give you the result you're looking for:

perfmon[\Network Interface(Network card name)\Bytes Total/sec]

You can open performance in Administrative tools and add the counter that match your network card, and then see what the string is called and add it to zabbix. It's not possible to do a ALL counter.

And "Bytes Sent/sec" and "Bytes Received/sec" if you want to count in and out seperat.

Ok, thanx.
