Hi all

Almost Happy new year. This topic is especially for frenchs

Yesterday I spent 4 hours on that:

Perf count sometime Work, sometime not... totaly Randomly >_<...

After tones of search and test I came to the following conclusion;

The first santence work, second doesn't:

\\%fvar_ipaddress%\Système\Temps d'activité système
\\%fvar_ipaddress%\Système\Temps d’activité système

-First one is à Apostrophe " ' " (ASCII code : 39)
-The seconde one is Single RIGHT quotation (ASCII code : 8217)

There are important differences between quotes, apostrophes, and other symbols like degrees and minutes and inches and feet. Even if they look the same ' and '' to you, that depends on the fonts. It also depends on the application. For instance word processors in French change quotes to guillermets like << and >> , and the placement of curly quotes low or high also varies between languages. Similar problems come up with hyphens and dashes, and a line-break hyphen is not the same as a word-formation hyphen, and a minus sign is quite another thing again.

With this Font you will see immediatly the difference but try with "Lucida Console" and ask a colleague (Like i did with 3 colleagues(when I thought about going crazy)) :p

So conclusion, if you are french and you have a perfcounter who doesn't work, look at the single quote... for perfcounter you NEED TO USE Apostrophe : ALT+39
And not Single quote : ALT+8217

Important note, i don't know whene, what, how but i'am almost sure (>90%) than it's HostMonitor who have converted apostrophe to singlequote (Cause Since both have been generated with sometimes English and sometimes French systems)

HostMonitor does not change counter name and should not use Single RIGHT quotation char.
May be you used export/import option and edited text file with test settings using some text editor?
