Graphite collector for Windows Performance Counters
A collector for Windows Performance Counters to send collected metrics to Graphite.
Actually it is not reinventing the wheel. I examined most of the collectors sending metrics to Graphite. Some of them are very hard to configure or some of them are collecting counters using the wrong way. So I ended up writing my own collector.
A video demonstration of installation will be here soon but for now you can use this Installation Tutorial which is the one i have used on my development environment.
A downloadable zip archive will be provided soon (preferably from a continuous integration provider) but for now you can build it from source all the plugins that will be dynamically loaded on runtime will be copied to the output folder. You can xcopy the output folder and use it in production.
