Too many event viewer entries

[ahill-itim]

Hi,

I'm running the latest version of nri-perfmon, but I am seeing a very large amount of informational events in Windows event viewer, please see attached screenshot and below example:

Running Query: Select Name, * from Win32_PerfFormattedData_NETDataProviderforSqlServer_NETDatProviderForSqlServer

There seems to be a few entries a second, which fills up the event logs and causes them to roll over far too often - in a lot of cases in less then 12 hours.

Why is nri-perfmon writing every query to the event logs? Is there a way this can be stopped as this seems to be unrequired information, or information that could be written to a separate log file rather than filling up the Windows logs.

Any help you can provide would be much appreciated.

Thank you,
Andrew

To suppress the info Windows event log, update your nri-perfmon-definition.yml file and add -g | --ignoreInfoLogs [true|false]: Ignores logs of log type Info (default: false) as documented here https://github.com/newrelic/nri-perfmon?tab=readme-ov-file#command-line-arguments
