Getting Data In

Direction on how to troubleshoot this perfmon issue?

All,

I have the stock Splunk_TA_Windows 6.0.0 installed 6.0.0 with default inputs.conf enabled. Since pushing it out I am seeing the following errors.

08-14-2019 17:28:46.460 +0000 ERROR ExecProcessor - message from ""c:\Program Files\SplunkUniversalForwarder\bin\splunk-perfmon.exe"" splunk-perfmon - OutputHandler::composeOutput: Counter is not found: IO Data Bytes/sec

OS is Windows 2016

Any idea on what might the issue be? Where I can start troubleshooting?

This means, "IO Data Bytes" counter is not found on target host's perfmon logs. Simply remove "IO Data Bytes/sec;" from
inputs.conf for that host, and restart forwarder.
