Hi Zabbix community,
I would like to monitor network throughput for my application with Zabbix. It's easy enough to rdp in to whatever server I'm deploying to, and check the available counters using typeperf -qx. This leads me to hardware-specific counters like
This is great, but I would like to create something templated that works more generically for arbitrary new machines. I kind of thought it would work to use the _Total keyword, as follows.
This is supported on my dev machine : ) but not the first server I tried deploying to : ( On the server, the call from my zabbix box throws a System.InvalidOperationException with message "Instance '_Total' does not exist in the specified Category".
Could someone kindly give me a newb's primer to the windows perf monitoring _Total keyword? What is it, where is it defined, and why does it work on my (win 7) dev machine but not my (server 2012) server?
