Windows Performance Counters Input Plugin

This document presents the input plugin to read Performance Counters on Windows operating systems.

The configuration is parsed and then tested for validity, such as whether the Object, Instance and Counter exist on Telegraf startup.

Counter paths are refreshed periodically, see the CountersRefreshInterval configuration parameter for more info.

In case of query for all instances ["*"], the plugin does not return the instance _Total by default. See IncludeTotal for more info.

Basics

The examples contained in this file have been found on the internet as counters used when performance monitoring Active Directory and IIS in particular. There are a lot of other good objects to monitor, if you know what to look for. This file is likely to be updated in the future with more examples for useful configurations for separate scenarios.

For more information on concepts and terminology including object, counter, and instance names, see the help in the Windows Performance Monitor app.

Schema

Measurement name is specified per performance object or win_perf_counters by default.

Tags:

• source - computer name, as specified in the Sources parameter. Name localhost is translated into the host name
• objectname - normalized name of the performance object
• instance - instance name, if performance object supports multiple instances, otherwise omitted

Fields are counters of the performance object. The field name is normalized counter name.

Plugin wide

Plugin wide entries are underneath [[inputs.win_perf_counters]].

PrintValid

Bool, if set to true will print out all matching performance objects.

Example: PrintValid=true

UseWildcardsExpansion

If UseWildcardsExpansion is true, wildcards can be used in the instance name and the counter name. Instance indexes will also be returned in the instance name.

Partial wildcards (e.g. chrome*) are supported only in the instance name on Windows Vista and newer.

If disabled, wildcards (not partial) in instance names can still be used, but instance indexes will not be returned in the instance names.

Example: UseWildcardsExpansion=true

LocalizeWildcardsExpansion

LocalizeWildcardsExpansion selects whether object and counter names are localized when UseWildcardsExpansion is true and Telegraf is running on a localized installation of Windows.

When LocalizeWildcardsExpansion is true, Telegraf produces metrics with localized tags and fields even when object and counter names are in English.

When LocalizeWildcardsExpansion is false, Telegraf expects object and counter names to be in English and produces metrics with English tags and fields.

When LocalizeWildcardsExpansion is false, wildcards can only be used in instances. Object and counter names must not have wildcards.

Example: LocalizeWildcardsExpansion=true

CountersRefreshInterval

Configured counters are matched against available counters at the interval specified by the CountersRefreshInterval parameter. The default value is 1m (1 minute).

If wildcards are used in instance or counter names, they are expanded at this point, if the UseWildcardsExpansion param is set to true.

Setting the CountersRefreshInterval too low (order of seconds) can cause Telegraf to create a high CPU load.

Set it to 0s to disable periodic refreshing.

Example: CountersRefreshInterval=1m

PreVistaSupport

(Deprecated in 1.7; Necessary features on Windows Vista and newer are checked dynamically)

Bool, if set to true, the plugin will use the localized PerfCounter interface that has been present since before Vista for backwards compatibility.

It is recommended NOT to use this on OSes starting with Vista and newer because it requires more configuration to use this than the newer interface present since Vista.

Example for Windows Server 2003, this would be set to true: PreVistaSupport=true

UsePerfCounterTime

Bool, if set to true will request a timestamp along with the PerfCounter data. If se to false, current time will be used.

Supported on Windows Vista/Windows Server 2008 and newer Example: UsePerfCounterTime=true

IgnoredErrors

IgnoredErrors accepts a list of PDH error codes which are defined in pdh.go, if this error is encountered it will be ignored. For example, you can provide "PDH_NO_DATA" to ignore performance counters with no instances, but by default no errors are ignored. You can find the list of possible errors here: PDH errors.

Example: IgnoredErrors=["PDH_NO_DATA"]

Sources

(Optional)

Host names or ip addresses of computers to gather all performance counters from. The user running Telegraf must be authenticated to the remote computer(s). E.g. via Windows sharing net use \\SQL-SERVER-01. Use either localhost ("localhost") or real local computer name to gather counters also from localhost among other computers. Skip, if gather only from localhost.

If a performance counter is present only on specific hosts set Sources param on the specific counter level configuration to override global (plugin wide) sources.

Example: Sources = ["localhost", "SQL-SERVER-01", "SQL-SERVER-02", "SQL-SERVER-03"]

Default: Sources = ["localhost"]

Object

See Entry below.

Entry

A new configuration entry consists of the TOML header starting with, [[inputs.win_perf_counters.object]]. This must follow before other plugin configurations, beneath the main win_perf_counters entry, [[inputs.win_perf_counters]].

Following this are 3 required key/value pairs and three optional parameters and their usage.

ObjectName

(Required)

ObjectName is the Object to query for, like Processor, DirectoryServices, LogicalDisk or similar.

Example: ObjectName = "LogicalDisk"

Instances

(Required)

The instances key (this is an array) declares the instances of a counter you would like returned, it can be one or more values.

Example: Instances = ["C:","D:","E:"]

This will return only for the instances C:, D: and E: where relevant. To get all instances of a Counter, use ["*"] only. By default any results containing _Total are stripped, unless this is specified as the wanted instance. Alternatively see the option IncludeTotal below.

It is also possible to set partial wildcards, eg. ["chrome*"], if the UseWildcardsExpansion param is set to true

Some Objects do not have instances to select from at all. Here only one option is valid if you want data back, and that is to specify Instances = ["------"].

Counters

(Required)

The Counters key (this is an array) declares the counters of the ObjectName you would like returned, it can also be one or more values.

Example: Counters = ["% Idle Time", "% Disk Read Time", "% Disk Write Time"]

This must be specified for every counter you want the results of, or use ["*"] for all the counters of the object, if the UseWildcardsExpansion param is set to true.

Sources (Object)

(Optional)

Overrides the Sources global parameter for current performance object. See Sources description for more details.

Measurement

(Optional)

This key is optional. If it is not set it will be win_perf_counters. In InfluxDB this is the key underneath which the returned data is stored. So for ordering your data in a good manner, this is a good key to set with a value when you want your IIS and Disk results stored separately from Processor results.

Example: Measurement = "win_disk"

UseRawValues

(Optional)

This key is optional. It is a simple bool. If set to true, counter values will be provided in the raw, integer, form. This is in contrast with the default behavior, where values are returned in a formatted, displayable, form as seen in the Windows Performance Monitor.

A field representing raw counter value has the _Raw suffix. Raw values should be further used in a calculation, e.g. 100-(non_negative_derivative("Percent_Processor_Time_Raw",1s)/100000 Note: Time based counters (i.e. % Processor Time) are reported in hundredths of nanoseconds.

Example: UseRawValues = true

IncludeTotal

(Optional)

This key is optional. It is a simple bool. If it is not set to true or included it is treated as false. This key only has effect if the Instances key is set to ["*"] and you would also like all instances containing _Total to be returned, like _Total, 0,_Total and so on where applicable (Processor Information is one example).

WarnOnMissing

(Optional)

This key is optional. It is a simple bool. If it is not set to true or included it is treated as false. This only has effect on the first execution of the plugin. It will print out any ObjectName/Instance/Counter combinations asked for that do not match. Useful when debugging new configurations.

FailOnMissing

(Internal)

This key should not be used. It is for testing purposes only. It is a simple bool. If it is not set to true or included this is treated as false. If this is set to true, the plugin will abort and end prematurely if any of the combinations of ObjectName/Instances/Counters are invalid.

Global configuration options

In addition to the plugin-specific configuration settings, plugins support additional global and plugin configuration settings. These settings are used to modify metrics, tags, and field or create aliases and configure ordering, etc. See the CONFIGURATION.md for more details.

Configuration

# Input plugin to counterPath Performance Counters on Windows operating systems
# This plugin ONLY supports Windows
[[inputs.win_perf_counters]]
  ## By default this plugin returns basic CPU and Disk statistics. See the
  ## README file for more examples. Uncomment examples below or write your own
  ## as you see fit. If the system being polled for data does not have the
  ## Object at startup of the Telegraf agent, it will not be gathered.

  ## Print All matching performance counters
  # PrintValid = false

  ## Whether request a timestamp along with the PerfCounter data or use current
  ## time
  # UsePerfCounterTime = true

  ## If UseWildcardsExpansion params is set to true, wildcards (partial
  ## wildcards in instance names and wildcards in counters names) in configured
  ## counter paths will be expanded and in case of localized Windows, counter
  ## paths will be also localized. It also returns instance indexes in instance
  ## names. If false, wildcards (not partial) in instance names will still be
  ## expanded, but instance indexes will not be returned in instance names.
  # UseWildcardsExpansion = false

  ## When running on a localized version of Windows and with
  ## UseWildcardsExpansion = true, Windows will localize object and counter
  ## names. When LocalizeWildcardsExpansion = false, use the names in
  ## object.Counters instead of the localized names. Only Instances can have
  ## wildcards in this case. ObjectName and Counters must not have wildcards
  ## when this setting is false.
  # LocalizeWildcardsExpansion = true

  ## Period after which counters will be reread from configuration and
  ## wildcards in counter paths expanded
  # CountersRefreshInterval="1m"

  ## Accepts a list of PDH error codes which are defined in pdh.go, if this
  ## error is encountered it will be ignored. For example, you can provide
  ## "PDH_NO_DATA" to ignore performance counters with no instances. By default
  ## no errors are ignored You can find the list here:
  ##   https://github.com/influxdata/telegraf/blob/master/plugins/inputs/win_perf_counters/pdh.go
  ## e.g. IgnoredErrors = ["PDH_NO_DATA"]
  # IgnoredErrors = []

  ## Maximum size of the buffer for values returned by the API
  ## Increase this value if you experience "buffer limit reached" errors.
  # MaxBufferSize = "4MiB"

  ## NOTE: Due to the way TOML is parsed, tables must be at the END of the
  ## plugin definition, otherwise additional config options are read as part of
  ## the table

Troubleshooting

If you are getting an error about an invalid counter, use the typeperf command to check the counter path on the command line. E.g. typeperf "Process(chrome*)\% Processor Time"

If no metrics are emitted even with the default config, you may need to repair your performance counters.

1. Launch the Command Prompt as Administrator (right click "Runs As Administrator").
2. Drop into the C:\WINDOWS\System32 directory by typing C: then cd \Windows\System32
3. Rebuild your counter values, which may take a few moments so please be patient, by running:

lodctr /r
