WMI Custom Sensor, millisecond problem

Votes:

0

Hi,

We have created the WMI custom sensor that return the value as a millisecond ie. AvgDisksecPerRead

The problem is PRTG don't show the value as a millisecond, for example it shows just 0 for the 0.008 value.

Thanks in advance.

Hi Torsten,

Thanks for your help, I've changed the decimal place but now it show the value as "0,000" so it's still zero!

My WMI query is; SELECT AvgDisksecPerRead FROM Win32_PerfFormattedData_PerfDisk_LogicalDisk WHERE name = 'C:'

I' ve tested, it's correct query but it returns just 0...

Best regards.

Have you tried the query for a test with our WMI Tester?

Yes, I've tried but it returns just "0" too. I have no idea how do I monitor "Avg. Disk sec/Read" via WMI. The correct value is e.g "0.008" (8ms) but WMI doesn't show it.

I'm afraid then it won't be monitorable in PRTG.
