Windows machine monitoring with Netdata

This module will monitor one or more Windows machines, using the windows_exporter.

Module collects metrics from the following collectors:

• cpu
• memory
• net
• logical_disk
• os
• system
• logon

Run windowns_exporter with these collectors:

windows_exporter-0.13.0-amd64.exe --collectors.enabled="cpu,memory,net,logical_disk,os,system,logon"

Installation: please follow the official guide.

Requirements

• windows_exporter version v0.13.0+

Charts

cpu

• Total CPU Utilization (all cores) in percentage
• Received and Serviced Deferred Procedure Calls (DPC) in dpc/c
• Received and Serviced Hardware Interrupts in interrupts/s
• CPU Utilization Per Core in percentage
• Time Spent in Low-Power Idle State Per Core in percentage

memory

• Memory Utilization in KiB
• Memory Page Faults in events/s
• Swap Utilization in KiB
• Swap Operations in operations/s
• Swap Pages in pages/s
• Cached Data in KiB
• Cache Faults in events/s
• System Memory Pool in KiB

network

• Bandwidth Per NIC in kilobits/s
• Packets Per NIC in packets/s
• Errors Per NIC in errors/s
• Discards Per NIC in discards/s

disk

• Utilization Per Disk in KiB
• Bandwidth Per Disk in KiB/s
• Operations Per Disk in operations/s
• Average Read/Write Latency Disk in milliseconds

system

• Processes in number
• Threads in number
• Uptime in seconds

logon

• Active User Logon Sessions By Type in sessions

Configuration

Edit the go.d/wmi.conf configuration file using edit-config from the your agent's config directory, which is typically at /etc/netdata.

cd /etc/netdata # Replace this path with your Netdata config directory
sudo ./edit-config go.d/wmi.conf

Needs only url to windows_exporter metrics endpoint. Here is an example for 2 instances:

jobs:
  - name : win_server1
    url  : http://203.0.113.10:9182/metrics

  - name : win_server2
    url  : http://203.0.113.11:9182/metrics

For all available options please see module configuration file.

Troubleshooting

Check the module debug output. Run the following command as netdata user:

./go.d.plugin -d -m wmi
