This package provides a thin wrapper around pdh.dll for querying Windows Performance counters.
This was forked from the Telegraf win_perf_counters plugin: https://github.com/influxdata/telegraf.
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.
- Launch the Command Prompt as Administrator (right click Runs As Administrator).
- Drop into the C:\WINDOWS\System32 directory by typing
C:thencd \Windows\System32 - Rebuild your counter values, which may take a few moments so please be
patient, by running:
lodctr /r
