Hey, I'm hoping someone can help me with what I'm hoping is an easy-but-undocumented method to pull Windows performance counters and graph them.
I can pull individual counters using the Windows PerfMon datasource and add these counters to a graph; that works great. But when I try to pull all counters for a query - for example, \Processor(*)\% Processor Time - the query returns no data. Getting the _Total works well, but I'm hoping to get the counters for every instance of, say, a CPU and graph them dynamically.
So, if a system has 8 CPU cores, then \Processor(*)\% Processor Time adds all 8 cores to a graph, but if a system has 12 cores, then that same query gets all 12. I can currently query \Processor(0)\% Processor Time, \Processor(1)\% Processor Time, \Processor(2)\% Processor Time, etc, but that's cumbersome and prone to error.
Is this possible, or do I need to do some custom programming to make that happen?
