Is there a way to export a list of Windows Performance Monitor Counters you would like to do and sim

I can use typeperf -qx on the host machine to get a full list of counters in Performance monitor which I can then edit the text file easily to get the ones I really need. Is there a way to import this list into PRTG?

An example of the kind of list it creates is like this:

\Processor(0)\% Processor Time \Processor(1)\% Processor Time \Processor(2)\% Processor Time \Processor(3)\% Processor Time \Processor(4)\% Processor Time \Processor(5)\% Processor Time \Processor(6)\% Processor Time \Processor(7)\% Processor Time \Processor(8)\% Processor Time \Processor(9)\% Processor Time \Processor(10)\% Processor Time \Processor(11)\% Processor Time \Processor(12)\% Processor Time \Processor(13)\% Processor Time \Processor(14)\% Processor Time \Processor(15)\% Processor Time \Processor(_Total)\% Processor Time \Memory\Page Faults/sec \Memory\Available MBytes \Network Interface(HP NC382i DP Multifunction Gigabit Server Adapter _3)\Bytes Total/sec \Network Interface(HP NC382i DP Multifunction Gigabit Server Adapter _3)\Current Bandwidth \.NET CLR LocksAndThreads(_Global_)\Total # of Contentions \.NET CLR LocksAndThreads(mmc)\Total # of Contentions \.NET CLR LocksAndThreads(hpkassvc)\Total # of Contentions \.NET CLR LocksAndThreads(_Global_)\Contention Rate / sec \.NET CLR LocksAndThreads(mmc)\Contention Rate / sec \.NET CLR LocksAndThreads(hpkassvc)\Contention Rate / sec \.NET CLR LocksAndThreads(_Global_)\Current Queue Length

It would be good if I could simply import this into PRTG without having to do this manually which take lots of time to do.

hallo,

there is no way today that would let you do this. But we are working on something similar already. It is not sure yet, wen it will get implemented.
