Using the new Windows performance counter discovery
Since Zabbix 5.0.1, it is possible to discover Windows performance counters. In this recipe, we will go over the process of discovering Windows performance counters to use in our environments.
Discovering Windows performance counters is one of the new features in Zabbix 5. It might still be a little tricky as you probably haven't seen it before, but once we finish this recipe you'll know exactly how to set it up.
Getting ready
In this chapter, we added the lar-book-disc-win host to our setup, which is the host used in our Zabbix Agent discovery process. We can reuse this host for discovering Windows performance counters easily.
Of course, we'll also need our Zabbix server. Windows performance counter discovery is supported starting from Zabbix 5.0.1, so keep this in mind:
yum update
