Page File windows?

[rolandsym]

Hello,
My question deals with system.swap.size[] zabbix item and it's relation to windows. Where does zabbix get its information for this item? It never matches up to what windows tells me or to the size of pagefile.sys. Is there some type of conversion that needs to be done on the number or is this counter not fully supported under windows?

Sincerely,

Rolandsym

I have posted the same question some weeks ago, but never get a reply.
I have the same problem. Zabbix only shows the total available "Virtual Memory" of the Windows hosts.
I think that the agent grabs not the right value or it is the philosophy of Zabbix to get this value.
For me the total swap space is not very important.
More important for me is the usage of swap because this can indicate performance problems. For this i use a "performance counter" item.

But for the future it would be nice to have the right size of total swap size for Windows Systems.

Although this is a dead-old thread...

The data returned from those system.swap.size items of agentd on Windows is indeed slightly bizarre...

After a memory upgrade on some monitored Windows machines the system.swap.size[all,total] started reporting twice as much in size as the newly installed amount of physical memory (swap size did not change).

Documentation for 1.6 and 1.8 implies those modes are not supported on Windows but only the main swap.size item is, and yet those modes still do return data and not the usual [m|ZBX_NOTSUPPORTED]

swap file % usage

You could try this and compare results:

perf_counter[\Paging File(_Total)\% Usage]


That should give you the right numbers, I guess
