Hello all,  
Im new to telegraf and influx but already managed to figure out how to use  
My question is like that ,  
Im using telegraf for windows and an influxdb and trying to collect some of my windows processes performance monitor metrics.  
My problem started while trying to get “IO Read bytes/sec”,“IO Write bytes/sec”,“IO Other bytes/sec”  
First i used it for specific process and i got all metrics beside those above with this configuration

[[inputs.win\_perf\_counters.object]]  
ObjectName = “Process”  
Counters = ["% Processor Time",“IO Read operations/sec”,“IO Write operations/sec”,“Private Bytes”,“Thread Count”,“IO Read bytes/sec”,“IO Write bytes/sec”,“IO Other bytes/sec”]  
Instances = [“My\_Service”]  
Measurement = “win\_proc\_My\_Service”  
IncludeTotal=true  
#Set to true to include \_Total instance when querying for all (\*).

with that configuration everything worked beside “IO Read bytes/sec”,“IO Write bytes/sec”,“IO Other bytes/sec”.

then i tried with this configuration to collect everthing i can but nothing has been collected at all

[[inputs.win\_perf\_counters.object]]  
ObjectName = “Process”  
Counters = ["% Processor Time",“IO Read operations/sec”,“IO Write operations/sec”,“Private Bytes”,“Thread Count”,“IO Read bytes/sec”,“IO Write bytes/sec”,“IO Other bytes/sec”]  
Instances = ["_"]  
Measurement = “win\_proc\_ALL”  
IncludeTotal=true  
 #Set to true to include \_Total instance when querying for all (_)

Im using telegraf version 1.9.1  
can anybody assist ?
