So I'm a bit confused on how to enter values in the various fields of the component monitor setup screen.
I understand that all values corresponding to the Category, Instance, and Counter are assumed to be under /root/cimv2, but it's not clear how you should enter in the values after that.
When I look at how they've been defined on existing components for WMI, The values are totally different than what I see when I browse the WMI counters tree...
for example here is the entry for SQL server latch waits
Counter: Latch Waits/sec
Instance:
Category: SQLServer:Latches
But when I browse the WMI tree, I see things like
Win32_PerfFromattedData_MSSQLSERVER_SQLServerLatches\LatchWaitsPersec
How the heck do I know, when creating a wmi component, what values to put into the fields? How do I know when to put a colon (:) in between SQLServer and Latches, for the Category, for example ?
I've looked over documentation, and maybe I'm missing something... can someone point me to how this all works ?
thanks!
