every perfcounter return zero

[aarons]

Hi all,

I'm new to zabbix. Everything worked great until I tried to monitor several performance counters on a Windows agent. I've edited the zabbix_agentd.conf to include items such as:

PerfCounter = MemPages,"\Memory\Pages/sec",60
perfcounter= sqlgsuser,"\SQLServer:General Statistics()\User Connections",60

From the same host, I use this syntax to test:

C:\>ZabbixW32.exe test MemPages
Using configuration file "C:\zabbix_agentd.conf"
Configuration file OK
[04-Feb-2007 22:18:40] *************** Log file opened ****************
[04-Feb-2007 22:18:40] Collector thread initialized successfully
MemPages [0.000000]

C:\>ZabbixW32.exe test sqlgsuser
Using configuration file "C:\zabbix_agentd.conf"
Configuration file OK
[04-Feb-2007 22:25:30] *************** Log file opened ****************
[04-Feb-2007 22:25:30] Collector thread initialized successfully
sqlgsuser [0.000000]

These, and every other performance counter I use, return 0. Windows Performance app shows correct values for these keys, but the agent is not. Any thoughts please?

Thanks in advance!

Running the test option from the command line doesn't alwasy return a valid responce. Put the items under that host and you will start getting valid numbers.

Indeed it did - thank you. Not all of them are returning valid numbers, some are still zero, which is odd. But I'll keep tinkering.
