Error "Unable to connect to the specified computer or the computer is offline." meaning splunk perfmon cannot connect to windows perfmon.
Check if you can open windows performance monitor.
If you get the following :
“UNABLE TO ADD THESE COUNTERS”
\Memory\Available MBytes
\Memory\% Committed Bytes In Use
\Memory\Cache Faults/sec
\Memory\Cache Faults/sec
\PhysicalDisk()\%Idle Time
\PhysicalDisk()\Avg. Disk Queue Length
\Network Interface(*)\Bytes Total/sec”

So, what did you try to solve the issue? It's stating that Splunk can't connect to the remote machine.

issue was with host machines windows perfmon. Splunk-perfmon couldn't communicate to windows due to corrupt windows perfmon.

Follow the steps below:
1. Launch Command Prompt as Administrator (right click Runs As Administrator).
2. Drop into the C:\WINDOWS\System32 directory by typing CD\ then CD Windows\System32
3. To rebuild your resource counters type the following command:
lodctr /r
Restart the splunk-forwarder service and it should resolve this particular issue.
