WQL Query to Monitor a Performance Counter

gblessing

There are performance counters on one of our Windows servers that we would like to monitor.  We can easily see them in perfmon on the server itself, but don't know how to construct the WQL query for the template.  I cannot find them with Scriptomatic.

In perfmon, the Performance object name is "Lawson_lsfprod" and one of the counters which shows in the list is Jobs Waiting.  Clicking on explain shows the explanatory text with the heading \\servername\Lawson_lsfprod\Jobs Running.

How do I construct a WQL query for the WMI Performance Counters in the template?

In APM 3.0, you'll be able to use a new Performance Counter Monitor that uses RPC instead of WMI to get at the data.  If you're on maintenance, you can download the Release Candidate and try it now.
