This should have "just worked", so I'd be interested to hear what

... I am having a problem with the windows pmda. I have
installed the sample pmda and it half works.
When I run pminfo all the metrics I would expect to see are listed,
however if I run "pminfo -F" I get errors when fetching:
pmcd.buf.free: pmLookupDesc: No PMCD agent for domain of request
disk.all.read
No value(s) available!
this works:
pminfo -f sample.many.count
sample.many.count
value 5
Is the windows pmda working?
No.
There may be hints in the files /var/log/pcp/pmcd/{pmcd.log,windows.log}.
If you cannot make sense of these, please send them to me.
The windows PMDA is the most bizarre PMDA in the known universe ...
someday I may explain _exactly_ how this works, but this will probably
be in exchange for some significant quantity of beer ... 8^)>
