The eG Installation Guide - eG Innovations

Installing and Configuring on Windows Environments
Note:
It is not necessary to reboot a server after installing the eG agent on Windows.
If certain supported Microsoft operating systems and applications are to be monitored in an
agentless manner, then, in order to enable the eG remote agent to collect measurements
from these applications using Perfmon counters, the following are required:
A remote agent can monitor a Windows environment only if it is installed with a
domain administrator’s privileges.
NetBIOS should be enabled on the target host.
PerfMon should have at least READ access to the Perflib\LanguageID
subkey on the remote computer (which allows external access to PerfMon). The
Perflib\LanguageID subkey is located in the following Registry path:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\WindowsNT\CurrentVersion\Perflib\LanguageID.
The LanguageID is a numeric code for the spoken language of the installed
operating system. A computer with a LanguageID of 009 (the English
LanguageID) has the following Perflib\Language subkey:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Perflib\009.
The Disk Performance Statistics Driver (diskperf) should exist on the target
computer; allow READ access explicitly to the user account for the following
registry key and all subkeys:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Diskperf.
