        4988:20220831:125747.178 PdhAddEnglishCounter() is not available, perf_counter_en[] is not supported​ 

      As stated by microsoft, PdhAddEnglishCounter() is available only starting from Windows Vista https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/api/pdh/nf-pdh-pdhaddenglishcountera

      Expected:

      Properly functioning monitoring, zabbix manual states that Windows server 2003 and XP is still supported for monitoring.
