Getting Data In

How to configure inputs.conf on forwarder to collect Active Request and Request per second Perfmon data?

I have a forwarder on an IIS web server and I want to get some info on the Active Request and Request per sec.

So I am able to get some data back with this in my inputs.conf

[perfmon://W3SVC_W3WP]
index = winmon
object = Process.*
counters = *
instances = *

but it does not have the Active Request or Request / Sec. When I try to specify Active Request in the object then it doesn't work at all.

enough trial and error and I finally got it

 [perfmon://W3SVC_W3WP]
    index = winmon
    object = W3SVC_W3WP
    counters = Active Requests;Requests / Sec
    instances = _Total
    interval = 30
    disabled = 0
