Issue Copied
The Processes sampler cannot detect a Windows process.
Solution Copied
Start both the Windows Management Instrumentation and WMI Performance Adapter Windows services.
Instructions Copied
- Open the Netprobe log file.
- Look for the log entry:
<timestamp> ERROR: WMIInterface::GetEnumerator pSvc->ExecQuery failed with error code <hex values> ()
For example:

- If the log entry exists, check if the Windows Management Instrumentation and WMI Performance Adapter Windows services are running.
- Start the services in step 3 if they are not running.
- If the issue persists, please raise a ticket and include the following:
- Netprobe version
- Netprobe server’s OS version
