[Check_mk (english)] Windows performance monitoring (IIS/ASP)

Archive checkmk-en

Hello,

I’m recently started using check_mk and strugglig to setup monitoring of IIS/ASP application.

Not sure is anything already created by community that i could use. In the mean time I was looking at monitoring both IIS and ASP through Performance Objects but so far miserably failing. Any
help or pointers to right resources will be greatly appreciated.

This is what I attempted to do so far (based on
https://mathias-kettner.de/checkmk_windows.html):

Exported counter objects mappings to respective IDs using lodctr /s:counters.ini

Found counter of interest e.g. for [PERF_ASP.NET]

           [PERF_ASP.NET]

First Counter=8452

First Help=8453

Last Counter=8676

Last Help=8677

8452=ASP.NET

8453=ASP.NET global performance counters

8454=ASP.NET Applications

8455=ASP.NET application performance counters

8456=Application Restarts

8457=Number of times the application has been restarted during the web server’s lifetime.

8458=Applications Running

8459=Number of currently running web applications.

8460=Requests Disconnected

8461=The number of requests disconnected due to communication errors or user terminated.

8462=Request Execution Time

8463=The number of milliseconds that it took to execute the most recent request.

8464=Requests Rejected

8465=The number of requests rejected because the request queue was full.

8466=Requests Queued

8467=The number of requests waiting to be processed.

8468=Worker Processes Running

8469=Number of worker processes running on the machine.

8470=Worker Process Restarts

8471=Number of times a worker process has restarted on the machine.

8472=Request Wait Time

8473=The number of milliseconds the most recent request was waiting in the queue.

…

Added the following entry in check_mk.ini

[winperf]

counters = 8458:asp_apprg

also as supported since 1.2.5i6 I tried the following:

[winperf]

counters = Applications Running:asp_apprg

Run
cmk -d | grep winperf which doesn’t output any data for
asp_apprg counter

Tested with example Connection counter
counters = 638:tcp_conn
and cmk -d | grep winperf
produces expected output

What I’n doing wrong or I’m missing. Is anything else yhat needs to be enabled on monitored system?

Best regards,

Rafal

Hi Rafal,

  1. using the counter names is always the better choice because one can never say which ids a counter has in another Windows system - Microsoft seems to randomize some ids from time to time…

  2. did you restart the cmk agent service after adding config to INI file?

Can you send me an agent output as attachment, as well as your INI file?

Regards,

Marcel
