# (C) Copyright 2015 Hewlett Packard Enterprise Development Company LP init_config: instances: # Each WMI query has 2 required options, `class` and `metrics` and two # optional options, `filters` and `tag_by`. # # `class` is the name of the WMI class, for example Win32_OperatingSystem # or Win32_PerfFormattedData_PerfProc_Process. You can find many of the # standard class names on the MSDN docs at # http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/aa394084.aspx. # The Win32_FormattedData_* classes provide many useful performance counters # by default. # # # `metrics` is a list of metrics you want to capture, with each item in the # list being a set of [WMI property name, metric name, metric type]. # # - The property name is something like `NumberOfUsers` or `ThreadCount`. # The standard properties are also available on the MSDN docs for each # class. # # - The metric name is the name you want to show up in Datadog. # # - The metric type is from the standard choices for all agent checks, such # as gauge, rate, histogram or counter. # # # `filters` is a list of filters on the WMI query you may want. For example, # for a process-based WMI class you may want metrics for only certain # processes running on your machine, so you could add a filter for each # process name. See below for an example of this case. # # # `tag_by` optionally lets you tag each metric with a property from the # WMI class you're using. This is only useful when you will have multiple # values for your WMI query. The examples below show how you can tag your # process metrics with the process name (giving a tag of "name:app_name"). # Fetch the number of processes and users - class: Win32_OperatingSystem metrics: - [NumberOfProcesses, system.proc.count, gauge] - [NumberOfUsers, system.users.count, gauge] # Fetch metrics for a single running application, called myapp - class: Win32_PerfFormattedData_PerfProc_Process metrics: - [ThreadCount, my_app.threads.count, gauge] - [VirtualBytes, my_app.mem.virtual, gauge] filters: - Name: myapp # Fetch process metrics for a set of processes, tagging by app name. - class: Win32_PerfFormattedData_PerfProc_Process metrics: - [ThreadCount, proc.threads.count, gauge] - [VirtualBytes, proc.mem.virtual, gauge] - [PercentProcessorTime, proc.cpu_pct, gauge] filters: - Name: app1 - Name: app2 - Name: app3 tag_by: Name # Fetch process metrics for every available process, tagging by app name. - class: Win32_PerfFormattedData_PerfProc_Process metrics: - [IOReadBytesPerSec, proc.io.bytes_read, gauge] - [IOWriteBytesPerSec, proc.io.bytes_written, gauge] tag_by: Name
