Using the agent bakery (preferred)
Enable transfer of performance counters through the Windows agent, as seen in the screenshot:
Setup → Agents → Windows, Linux, Solaris, AIX → Agent rules → Windows Performance-Counter objects → Add rule
After you have created the needed rule, don't forget to bake a new agent and to install it on the Windows host. Without this, the agent rule you have configured will not work.
Manually by changing the check_mk.user.yml file
