PDHCollector.cpp:148 2008 R2 Enterprise 64 bit

[rrspyder]

After a default install of NSCP 4.0.172 an error is continually written to the log file about every second.

2012.06.12 11:56:19: e:..\..\..\..\trunk\modules\CheckSystem\PDHCollector.cpp:148: Failed to query performance counters: \238(_total)\6: PdhGetFormattedCounterValue? failed {format: 1024}: -2147481642: A counter with a negative denominator value was detected.

I tried to find a solution on discussions but reset wbem and reloading counters did not work. Tried changing the CPU counter definition just to see if anything happened but still same result

Try build 174 it has a potential fix for this issue...

This is most likely been resolved, if not please reopen

Hallo,
we use the version 0.4.0.183 and get also the error:
e:..\..\..\..\trunk\modules\CheckSystem\PDHCollector.cpp:148: Failed to query performance counters: Negative denominator issue (check FAQ for ways to solve this): \238(_total)\6: -2147481642: Es wurde ein Leistungsindikator mit einem negativen Nenner gefunden.

What can I do?

This is an issue which was if not fixed drastically improved in 0.4.1 so I would try upgrading.
