perfcounter and perf_counter

[bee]

Hi
I have a bit confuse between zabbix perfcounter and perf_counter. Please correct me if my understanding is wrong.
PerfCounter= defined on zabbix_agentd.conf with the following syntax;
PerfCounter = <key>, <perfcounter path>,<period>

While perf_counter= defined thru zabbix configuration frontend with the following syntax;
perf_counter[<perfounterpath>]

the difference between above parameter is <period>.

The Question;
I have key as follow;

perf_counter[\Processor(_Total)\% Processor Time]

and it worked perfectly

But now i would like to monitor the %Processor Time for 5second period, and using "PerfCounter".

In zabbix_agent.conf, define new parameter as follow

PerfCounter = test12,"\Processor(_Total)\% Processor Time",5

Running test

C:\Program Files\Zabbix Agent>zabbix_agentd.exe -c "C:\Program Files\Zabbix Agent\zabbix_agentd.conf" -t test12

And get result:

__UserPerfCounter[test12]                     [m|Collector is not started!]

In log found

 4188:20080109:102924 Requested [perf_counter[test12]]
4188:20080109:102924 Can't add counter [test12] [Unable to parse the counter path. Check the format and syntax of the specified path.]

Why it's not work using PerfCounter method? while using perf_counter it's working perfectly?

Is there something that i missing with?

Note: zabbix_agentd v1.4.4 from http://www.suiviperf.com/zabbix/

Thanks,
BEE
