network traffic on Windows [Next]

[smad]

Hi,

I read the post form network traffic on Windows:

http://www.zabbix.com/forum/showthread.php?t=69&highlight=network+traffic+windows

I follow the instruction, and everythink is working fine.
But I got 2 problems:
One of my network card is call : Intel(R) PRO/100 VM
So, I think it's create a problem in zabbix_agentd.conf with ( ) for
PerfCounter= NetIn,"\Network Interface(Intel(R) PRO/100 VM)\Bytes Received/sec",15
IS there a solution ??

The secnd problem is different, My Network card is a Gigabit Card.
And I have the message in the configuration Item : Not supported.
NetIn and NetOut is not working with GigaBit card ????

Thanks for your help ;-)

PS : Zabbix are so powerful and so coolllllll 8-)

Is there a solution to use the Mac adress instead of the network card name ?
like
PerfCounter= NetIn,"\Network Interface(00:05:A5:EA:9B:34)Received/sec",15

Thanks for your answer ;-)

Alex,

I've used the following in the zabbix_agentd.conf:

PerfCounter= NetIn,"\Network Interface(Intel(R) PRO/100 VE Network Adapter)\Bytes Received/sec",60

Item is activated (supported) however, value only shows zero (0)..

Any ideas?

Also, on a Solaris system, it says netloadout1 is unsupported.

Thank you in advance

Another thread with the same topic

Hi all,

This "special characters" seem to be a common problem. In the thread http://www.zabbix.com/forum/showthread.php?t=519 is almost the same question. Did anyone ever solved it?

...ah that's the problem...I wondered why my items aren't working the way I want them to work. First I thought it was because I wanted to monitor two teamed network adapters. The name of the adapter team is "HP Network Team #1" (that's what ipconifg /all says). Perfmon calls it "HP Network Team_1" but none of the two expressions works". Zabbix just displays "0" as the returned value.
It would be great if this issue could be solved. Anyone tried with mac-address??

[eska]

I changed the teamed adapter's name from "HP Network Team #1" to "HP Network Team" within the HP Configuration Utility - but the Windows Performance-Monitor still refers to it as "HP Network Team_1". Maybe it's the underline that causes the trouble.

tried with mac-address - no succes, but I didn't expected it at all.

Sorry, but my english is rather poor!

I hope I can help you. You must show in your windows perfomance tool under network interface. And this name from the network interface must be use in the zabbix file.


for examles:
in windows hardware: Intel(R) PRO/100 VE Network Adapter
in windows perfomance tool: Intel[R] PRO_100 VE Network Adapter
in zabbix config file: PerfCounter= NetIn,"\Network Interface(Intel[R] PRO_100 VE Network Adapter)\Bytes Received/sec",60

or

in windows: 3com Gigabit Nic (3C2000)
in windows perfomance tool: 3com Gigabit Nic [3C2000]
in zabbix config file: PerfCounter= NetIn,"\Network Interface(3com Gigabit Nic [3C2000])\Bytes Received/sec",60

or
in windows: HP NetServer 10/100TX-PCI-LAN-Adapter #2
in windows perfomance tool: HP NetServer 10_100TX-PCI-LAN-Adapter _2
in zabbix config file: PerfCounter= NetIn,"\Network Interface(HP NetServer 10_100TX-PCI-LAN-Adapter _2)\Bytes Received/sec",60

this is what I already knew. but in my case it still doesn't work. as i mentioned I'm trying to monitor two teamed adapters which the performance monitor refers to as "HP Network Team_1". Zabbix always displays "0" as a value for the diiferent types of network-related measurements.

I would like to know whether it works for those who are trying to monitor a single network adapter which's name contains one of the devilish characters.

maybe the monitoring of teamed adapters isn't possible.

Sticky?

This thread should be 'sticky'. There are quite a few posts similar to this one. Getting it up at the top of the Help forum might prevent future redundant posting. Just a thought.
