<![CDATA[NetXMS Agent on Windows Server - Inputbytes returns not supported]]>I'm using an agent on a Windows Server 2016 machine and i'm trying to get Net.Interface.BytesIn(*) as a DCI. When i configure such parameter, I'm getting events from SYS_DCI_UNSUPPORTED.
Same for BytesOut(*)

Using latest available agent/server versions. (2.2.16)

any ideas?

When i do that, it sets it to BytesIn(*). So i did some assumption it would enumerate something.
All comes down to better understand data collection and instance discovery. I'll read up further.

If so, that won't work.
You need to specify the interface's index.

Two ways of doing that: Create the DCI manually by going into the Interfaces tab, right-clicking on the inter face and selecting Create Data Collection Items.
The more common and more scaleable approach is to use Instance Discovery. An older post with a recent update with screenshots (scroll to the end): https://www.netxms.org/forum/configuration/templates-instance-discovery/
There are quite a few questions & answers forum surrounding instance discovery. I therefore recommend going through the documentation and forums first.
