vmware exporter reports as not successful but metrics are reported (v0.30.0-rc.1)

[aa-matthias]

Current Behavior

After testing v0.30.0-rc.1 (#1774 ✌️) vmware collector is reporting no success but metrics are collected.

windows_exporter_collector_success{collector="vmware"} 0
windows_exporter_collector_timeout{collector="vmware"} 0
windows_exporter_collector_duration_seconds{collector="vmware"} 0

but:

windows_vmware_host_processor_speed_mhz 2594

Expected Behavior

shouldn't it have been successful? I cannot see any errors in the windows event log as well.

Steps To Reproduce

No response

Environment

• windows_exporter Version: 0.30.0-rc.1
• Windows Server Version: 2019

windows_exporter logs

nothing beeing logged in eventlog

Anything else?

No response

I do see that memory metrics are missing, only cpu collector is reporting anything. - rebuilding performance counters hasn't helped.

While refactor the vmware collector, there was a lot of guessing, since I found no docs.

The error should be logged on DEBUG level and on application start.

Could you run typeperf -qx to generate a list of metrics and attach it?

not sure but i think these are the ones (german locale here, sorry).
