Problem with Windows performance counters

[begs4399]

I have problems with some Windows servers that do not give me Disk performance counters, while others do.

perf_counter["\LogicalDisk(_Total)\Disk Transfers/sec",300]

Half of my servers give 0, the second half is working perfectly.

I found that none of the Win 2012R2 are working, even if I tried to enable them:
diskperf -y (and reboot even if it says not to)
Create local performance counters, with the "Disk Transfers" counter and start them)
I still have 0

Any other had the same problem ?

Found my bug

I have some servers that are in french, so I would have to make 2 templates, then assign them one by one.

Instead I found that you can use the Numbers found in

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Perflib\009

So the Item

perf_counter["\LogicalDisk(_Total)\Disk Transfers/sec",300]

becomes:

perf_counter[\236(_Total)\212,300]

and now it works for every Windows server
* Please note the exact syntax, as I had a hard time to find this one!

Have you done cpu and ram monitor in windows??

[begs4399]

Using Agent

Yes, but using the zabbix agent, in active mode

system.cpu.util[all,system,avg5]
vm.memory.size[used]

[mohit1993]

Yes, but using the zabbix agent, in active mode

system.cpu.util[all,system,avg5]
vm.memory.size[used]

Its giving you proper output???
Because in my case my task manager of cpu showing 12% cpu utilization but zabbix showing 8% of cpu utilization and same goes for ram utilization 2.9G utilization but task manager showing 2.7GB utilization.
Have you got same thing or you getting same value as task manager.


I am using zabbix 3.2 and windows server 2012R2 server

cpu/ram

Yes I am having similar results, however it's not comparing apples to apples as Zabbix shows 5min average, and task manager is live.

Even if there is a discrepancy of 1-2%, i don't care as I don't look at those numbers until they get > 90%
