Extended Monitoring Guide

1. About

ZenWinPerf is a ZenPack that allows performance monitoring of Windows servers without an intermediary Windows server doing the data collection. ZenWinPerf provides the WinPerf Data Source, which uses a Windows performance counter rather than an SNMP OID to specify the value to collect.

For more information on Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI), please see this Microsoft Technet Article.
