Custom WMI Descovery rule for _Total Hyper-V logical processor counter doesn't work

Question

Hello.

How I can make it right?
I created MP for monitoring _Total counter of Hyper-V Logical Processor instanse in perfmon. But WMI Descovery rule doesn't work and I don't get instans of my custom class that represent "_Total" counter. I enable that descovery by override for chosen Hyper-V server. But only geting error 10409 on scom server:

Object enumeration failed

Query: 'SELECT Name FROM Win32_PerfFormattedData_HvStats_HyperVHypervisorLogicalProcessor WHERE Name='_Total''

HRESULT: 0x80041010
Details: Invalid class

One or more workflows were affected by this.

Workflow name: Custom.HyperV2012R2.LogicalProcessor.Total.Discovery
Instance name: %scom server FQDN%
Instance ID: {%SCOM server ID%}
Management group: %Management Group Name%

Answer 1

How exactly did you do your override to enable that discovery for hyperv servers?

From the error you get, the discovery rule is running on the SCOM Management and is obviously failing since that counter doesn't exist except on HyperV servers.

On a side note, why are you using such a discovery? Wouldn't it be easier to simply import the HyperV MP and to target the perf rule at the HyperV Server class?
