WMI missing MSMQ queue name

msmqwmi

Running the following query in WMI fails to return 2 queues that are active on the computer.

SELECT Name,messagesinqueue FROM Win32_PerfRawdata_MSMQ_MSMQQueue

Anyone know what could be causing this problem. I get plenty of queues listed, but missing 2 important ones that I'd like to monitor in cacti.

Problem was solved by restarting MSMQ. Apparently MSMQ doesn't register queue names with WMI while its running. Needs to be restarted before the new queues will show up.

Sql-server – Need a resource that lists WMI perfmon classes

You can use PowerShell to list classes in a namespace.

get-wmiobject -list

will list all classes in the default ("\root\cmiv2") namespace, the -namespace parameter can be used to specify a different namespace.

To get all the performance classes, use either:

get-wmiobject -list | ?{$_.Name -like 'Win32_PerfRaw*'}

for raw data, or:

get-wmiobject -list | ?{$_.Name -like 'Win32_PerfForm*'}

for formmater data. Perfmon shows formatted data (processed by counter type), raw is what the performance counter provider is sending without any further processing.

Powershell recursive WMI query

I think this will do what you are looking for in one line. the CIMV2 namespace is there by default but if you wanted to select a different one, you can use gwmi -namesapce.

The "trick" is nesting a where-object in side the foreach-object

gwmi -list | % {$_.Properties | ? {$_.Name.Contains('Memory')}} | select Origin,Name
