Zabbix Windows perf monitoring command with wildcards.

[Ebulus789]

HI there,

I seem to be having an issue with wildcard and I was wondering if anybody could help me overcome this.

I am wanting to monitor the Working Set - Private bytes of a user slected process. The issue I am finding is that sometimes there can be multiple instances (such as with microsoft edge) and in this case I will need to aggegate the values.

If I use the following key_ perf_counter["\\Process(msedge)\\Working Set - Private"] then I get the instance "msedge" excluding other instances such as msedge#1 and msedge#2.

If I use the key perf_counter["\\Process(msedge#1)\\Working Set - Private"] then I get the information for msedge#1


If I go to windows command line and do similar commands like typeperf "\Process(msedge)\Working Set - Private" -sc 1 then I get the same result as through using the key_ above

If I then try and use a wildcard * such as typeperf "\Process(msedge*)\Working Set - Private" -sc 1 then I get data returned for every instance of msedge which means I can then aggregate.

If I try and use perf_counter["\\Process(msedge*)\\Working Set - Private"] in zabbix instead of getting data for all the instances it seems to completely ignore the wildcard and I just get the data for instance "msedge" meaning I cannot aggregate the data in this case.


Is there another way to do this and if so I would appreciate the help. If this is a known issue that has yet to be addresses then this information would also be helpful too.

Kind Regards,

I'm wanting to do the same thing but with Windows volumes via SNMP. Need to wildcard the disk serial number. Wow you've received no response (not even a snooty one) in over a year! Love these forums!
