Cant monitor windows perfmon counter

[Alexandros888]

Hello,

I have the following perfmon counter names (Bytes IN) and (Bytes IN/sec) that i want to monitor as the following image show:

My modules configuration in my windows.yml file is the following:

Module: windows

Docs: https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/beats/metricbeat/7.3/metricbeat-module-windows.html

• module: windows
  metricsets:

  • service
    period: 1m

• module: windows
  metricsets:

  • perfmon
    period: 10s
    perfmon.counters:

  • instance_label: ESEL.Bytes IN
    measurement_label: ESEL.Bytes IN
    query: '\ESEL\Bytes IN'

  • instance_label: ESEL.Bytes IN/sec
    measurement_label: ESEL.Bytes IN/sec
    query: '\ESEL\Bytes IN/sec'

when i just want to monitor the Bytes IN counter i can also see it in Kibana but when i also add the second counder (Bytes IN/sec) in the yaml file i can not see in Kibana neither of them.

Any ideas how to correct this?

Thank you

Hi, could you validate two things for me first:

1. Could you check that your YAML file is definitely formatted correctly. I can't tell 100% as the formatting on the YAML in the post is a little funky, and the other is a screenshot.

2. Does Bytes IN/sec work by itself?

Hello Kerry,

I solved that issue by just applying spaces....so i used Bytes IN / sec instead of Bytes IN/sec ...crazy xaxa.... But thank you for your reply
