We get the list of counters from the remote registry, often you will get this "element not found" when there is a problem with the index of counters within the registry. I know from one customer that he was able to solve that by forcing the re-creating of this index (or by remove some of the counters), unfortunatly I didn't take notes of that (he did point me to a KB article about it, so it has to be somewere in the MS KB, I know that's probably not very usefull as the MS KB has a huge number of articles)
Dirk Bulinckx. -----Original Message----- From: Servers Alive Discussion List [mailto:sal...@woodstone.nu] On Behalf Of Petr Bohac Sent: Saturday, December 20, 2008 2:10 PM To: Servers Alive Discussion List Subject: [SA-list] Perfmon check: element not found Hi Dirk, I've encountered an interesting issue on one of my servers. I want to monitor HP EVA storage perf counters (i.e. non standard windows OS counters) but when salive starts monitoring it it tells me "Element not found" (error 1168). --- log --- Saturday, December 20, 2008 4:52:40 PM ssan01 Perfmon (HP EVA Storage Array,Total host KB/s,NAWRAS_EVA2) gave errorElement not found. ( 1168) Saturday, December 20, 2008 4:52:40 PM PERFMON took 15 ms(1) --- What could be the problem? I don't have problem with the standard perfmon app and even salive is able to locate specific HP EVA counter(s) when editing a check and save it. The standard OS counters (Processor, Memory etc.) work fine though. Problem is not credentials. Thank you, Petr Bohac IT Sr.System Administrator Nawras P.O.
