Hi,

I'm trying to setup monitoring the perfmon of nservicebus critical time on some services, but still no luck, no data is being forwarded

currently i have added the ff in inputs.conf on the UF

[perfmon://Critical Time]
interval = 5
object = NServiceBus
counter = Critical Time
instance= [myservice]
disabled = 0
index = main

I am doing it wrong? Any help would be appreciated
Thanks in advance guys

I used WMI inputs to query performance counters (including the NSB ones) successfully.

Example from http://blogs.splunk.com/2008/04/29/wmi-comes-to-splunk/

[WMI:LocalAllProcesses]
namespace = \.\root\cimv2
interval = 30
wql = select * from Win32_PerfFormattedData_PerfProc_Process
disabled = 0

I used the following steps:

  1. Discover the appropriate counter using 'CIM Studio'

  1. Test in a PowerShell prompt

Get-WmiObject -Query "select * from Win32_PerfFormattedData_PerfProc_Process"

  1. Take exactly that query into your WMI input in Splunk.

Sorry, I don't have the NSB specific example handy.
