Thanks for tip, the problem really shows in event log ('invalid counter'
IIRC). Counter name _must_ be in local language and so far SNMAgent has
no problem with Czech (well, there's something wrong with CPU C1 time,
which still gives null, but I'll try debug level 4 next week).

Also I'm afraid native CPU plugin gives zero value on localized (Czech)
Windows, but at least cpunew (based on perfmon counter) works when fed
with localized counter name.

CPU time is pretty strange stuff anyway, as I've seen 'idle' 94 together
with 'user' 7.6 (not mentioning != 0 'system' and 'privileged' count) at
the same time, which gives > 100 % cpu time total. Very "nice" of
Microsoft, it gives really fuzzy and unclean CPU time graphs <sigh>.

Sound really nice, I'd be glad to test it.

So far I had to restart the snmagent service only once, as it took 100 %
cpu time (probably) due to misconfigured counter. I started to evaluate
it on least critical systems and so far it behaves nicely, at least no
memory leaks. Thanks again for sharing this useful piece of software.
