perfcount doesn’t work w/ Physical disk c

PhilPhil
edited November 2004 in Monitoring Software v12 and lower
I am running "ENTERPRISE Edition License 5.5.x " on win2k to monitor win2k systems.



Whenever I try to monitor a remote computer for physical disk info it does not work.



e.g. PhysicalDisk(0 C: F:)Disk write Bytes/sec



It says it is working with no errors but it keeps reporting ZERO bytes.



If I go to the machine being monitored and start perfmon and choose to monitor any physical disk info, suddenly serverscheck starts getting good data. As soon as I stop the local perfmon program, the values go back to zero.



How do I fix this?



Thanks,

Phil

    Dear Sir,



    For some reason, the Performance Monitor only runs on your systems in the foreground and not the background. As this is a Windows system issue you best check with a Windows expert on this as we have no insight in your systems configuration (security, ...)



    Disk space can be obtained also through:

    - SNMP4W2K free add-on (see help file)

    - DISKSPACE check

    It DOES run in the background, but only when it is running on the foreground TOO.



    Turn the local perfmon on - the serverscheck works. Turn the local perfmon off, the servers check says it is working "ok" but it gets a zero value every time.



    And I am looking for bytes/second read and write NOT freespace.



    Anyone else here ever used the percount physical disk counters - or am I the only one trying to do this?



    Thanks,

    Phil
