Perfplugin fixed

[fozi]

This is a fixed version of the "Official" Perfmon plugin to work with Server SP1 and Vista. I have tested this version on:

LCDsmartie 5.3.2 and 5.4 RC2

Windows XP SP2 32bit and 64bit
Server 2003 SP1 32bit and 64bit
Vista RTM 32bit

I haven't test all combinations on server and vista but did most of my testing on XP 32 and 64. (Code work done on 64bit workstation). There is no functionallity changes to the plugin just bug fixes to get plugin to work with more recent versions of windows. Please let me know if there are any issues or problems.

GREAT!


I currently run Vista RTM x86 and with this new version of perf.dll the CPU-usage is now correctly rapported by both cores on my C2D. Thanx for the update!

It doesn't run well with my config:
$dll(perf,1,2x20#u,Cpu)
$dll(perf,2,Cpu,1)
CPU@$CPUSpeedMHz~$CPUUsage%%

Arto.

You need to take a look at the readme.txt that is included in the zip file. The string you have will not work. It should look something like:

numeric output
$dll(perf,4,20,\Processor(0)\% Processor Time)%

bar graph (1x5 for matrix orbital)
$dll(perf,1,1x5#r#1#5#0#100#\Processor(0)\% Processor Time,P0)

If you want to read CPU utilization you need to pass the correct perfmon counter to perf plugin.

I have the prefplugin and it dosent work. It just says " [Bad counter#c0000bb9: Den angivna r?knaren kunde inte hittas] " Translated to "The chosen Counter couldent be found"
I have no idea what's the problem.

I have a HD44780 4x20 Lcd.

Please help me

I think you need to specify the counter name in the language your system is set to use (Swedish?). The examples in the perf.dll readme are in English (like Processor(0)\% Processor Time).

You can find the list of counter names by running the perfmon utility (aka Performance in Control Panel->Administrative Tools). Click the + button on the toolbar and you'll see a list of items that can be added to the graph. Use the same names in the perf.dll Smartie plugin. You can see what each counter is for by clicking the "explain" button.

I'm having trouble getting values running vista 32-bit and an antec fusion lcd.
All i get is this error message in the LCD:

Code: Select all

??PhdCollectQueryData Failed!]

If I change the counters name to something that doesn't exist I do get a proper error message for that, so it's not completely borked.

Any ideas on what could be wrong?

Thanks a lot for this version.

My configs from XP now works fine on my new Windows Vista Ultimate x64.
