Monitoring In/Out Bytes/sec on Win2K

[mtindor]

I am running the Zabbix Windows client. I am trying to monitor the in / out bytes per second of the ethernet interface.

zabbix_agentd.conf contains:

PerfCounter=NetIn1,"\Network Interface(Intel(R) PRO/1000 CT Network Connection)\Bytes Received/sec",60
PerfCounter=NetOut1,"\Network Interface(Intel(R) PRO/1000 CT Network Connection)\Bytes Sent/sec",60

NOTE: zabbix_agentd.log on the windows machine, debug=4, shows that it starts up fine and sees no errors in the config file.

In Zabbix i set up an Item:
Description: Game Server Inbound Bandwidth (1 min)
Host: bf1942.wakeonly.xxxxxxx.xxx
Key: NetIn1
Units:
Use multiplier: Do not use
Update interval (in sec): 30
Keep History (in days); 90
Keep trends (in days): 365
Status: Monitored
Type of Information: Numeric
Store value: As Is

NOTE: In Zabbix it shows as: Not supported by ZABBIX agent - BUT it appears to be monitoring and collecting for NetIn1 and NetOut1. In zabbix_server.log it shows:

019758:20050620:115300 Sending [NetOut1
019758:20050620:115300 Got string:[8] [0.000000]
019758:20050620:115300 RESULT_STR [0.00000]
019758:20050620:115300 Before deleting EOL:0.00000
019758:20050620:115300 After deleting EOL:0.00000

So the Win32 agent appears to know what that particular performance counter is but appears to be getting a 0 value from it. Any ideas?

PerfCounter=NetIn1,"\Network Interface(Intel(R) PRO/1000 CT Network Connection)\Bytes Received/sec",60
PerfCounter=NetOut1,"\Network Interface(Intel(R) PRO/1000 CT Network Connection)\Bytes Sent/sec",60

I got it working. My error. The interface is "Intel[R] PRO_1000 CT Network Connection"

Thanks for a great product....and even more for making it free to the casual user.
