help with setting up windows perfmon in the universal forwarder

ebailey — Fri, 22 May 2015 19:19:48 GMT

I am trying to get a few perfmon counters setup in the universal forwarder for Windows 2012 without much luck.

I am getting the following error

05-21-2015 16:45:14.950 -0500 ERROR ExecProcessor - message from ""C:\Program Files\SplunkUniversalForwarder\bin\splunk-perfmon.exe"" splunk-perfmon - PdhEnumObjectItems returned error 0xc0000bb8 for object '.NET CLR Exceptions'.
05-21-2015 16:45:14.950 -0500 ERROR ExecProcessor - message from ""C:\Program Files\SplunkUniversalForwarder\bin\splunk-perfmon.exe"" splunk-perfmon - getAllInstancesCounters failed in PeriodicDataCollector::enumInstancesCounters

Any ideas are very welcome.

Here is my inputs.conf

Just for troubleshooting/check,
if your wmi service on windows are running/started.

Restart the splunk service if still doesn't workout.

It is possible that one or more of the performance counters you have an input for are corrupted. Disable all counters and add back one at a time until you find out which input/counter is causing the problem.
