The Windows monitoring module in StresStimulus is built on the top of Windows Perfmon API. If you have issues adding monitors, then they are most likely related to your Windows domain/security infrastructure.


Troubleshooting such issues should be done outside StresStimulus. First, make sure that you can monitor your remote server with Perfmon. Launch Perfmon on the StresStimulus machine and try adding performance counters from the server you want to monitor. When troubleshooting such issues, use all available support resources related to monitoring the performance of a remote Windows machine. Typically such resources are part of Windows server documentation or related articles and blogs.


After you made Perform work to monitor the remote server, use the same server name or IP address and user credentials in StresStimulus. The resolution might require checking various computer and domain credentials, account permissions, domain and local policies, intermediate firewalls, etc. It all depends on your infrastructure settings.




Here is just one example that you can check: If the Perfmon connection does not work, in Control Panel on the StresStimulus machine, go to Credential Manager. Click Add a Windows credentials and add the remote server account information. After that, try the Perfmon connection again.


Once Perfmon on the StresStimulus machine can connect to your server, StresStimulus would be able to connect as well.
