.NET 2.0 monitoring not working

I can monitor .NET 2.0 on my Windows 2003 host but not on my two Windows XP boxes. There is just no graphs there.

Any clues?

Thanks,
Rasmus

Are you seeing any errors in the agent.log files for the two XP boxes? I suspect the issue may be with some perfmon counters that are not loaded by default on the XP boxes. Since the HQ .NET plugin relies on these counters, if they are not loaded, metrics will not be collected as expected.

I found the following ERROR messages in the log:

Seems it can't find what it needs -- just weird that it works on the Win2003 box. I'm running version 3.0.1 of the agent.

That pdh error is indicating that the perfmon counters it is looking for are not loaded. They are probably amoung the default counters loaded for Win2003. Use perfmon to load the .NET counters, and see if this resolves the problem.

There is 12 performance objects starting with ".NET CLR..." and 7 starting with "ASP.NET...", and a bunch of counters in each object. Do you have any idea what counters it might be?

Comparing what I see in perfmon on my Win2003 and my WinXP there is no immediate difference but maybe I'm not looking the right place?

I have tried enabling all counters in Performance Objects that start with '.NET' or 'ASP.NET' and restarted the agent. It did not have without any effect in Hyperic

The agent log from after restart is attached

Anyone having a clue on how I get .NET working on WinXP?

Thanks,
Rasmus
