perf_counter timeouts

[swaterhouse]

Does anyone that is using perf_counter[] checks get timeouts on slow\highly loaded servers?

I have been for a while just getting them on my slow servers but recently I started to get them on one of my other servers that is no way near overloaded\slow. This is the basic message thats logged to the application event log:

The timeout waiting for the performance data collection function "PerfOS"
in the "C:\WINNT\system32\perfos.dll" Library to finish has expired. 
There may be a problem with this extensible counter or the service......

It doesn't happen on every check but randomly throughout the day\night. On my worst server it happens about 60% of the time but that server hurts is so many ways I am not surpirsed. The one that has me concerned is the one that started recently.

Anyone else having this issue?

Is it somehow due to the way the counters are being called? If I run perfmon to check the same counters on those machines it never skips a beat and the message is not logged.

Hi

I have that also on a W2K box.
There are a lots of message when I start the agent, telling about
problems with dbsperf.dll aspnet_perf.dll
The agent is still doing active checks but is marked in zabbix as not reachable.

I do not have a solution yet, I reinsallted already the aspnet.
