DB Engine :: All Counters Are Zero Or Blank?
Mar 25, 2009
I want to use Performance Counter (perfmon) to log SQL Server counters for a performance turning. Therefore I create a log and add some SQL Server counters (SQLServer:Buffer Manager, SQLServer:SQL Statistics...) and some OS counters (Memory, Paging File...). And set Log File Type to a text file (.csv).But when I open this .csv file, all SQL Servers are zero or blank, but other OS counters are correct.If I view those SQL Server counters in Performance Counter (perfmon) directly, they work well.

Hi,
I receive blanks for a column called value and i need to represent it as a blank or NA into a colum whose datatype is float in the datawarehouse.
how is this possible because in current schenario a blank is being converted to 0
which is not the right thing.
i would like to retain the blank in conversion from char to float ,
please explain me if it can be done or how to overcome this issue.
Thanks

Hi there,
T-sql 2005 is offering the possibility to define alfaphanumeric counters? I mean, stuff like this: a,b,c...z, a1, b1...zn...a2..
Is it possible or it must be built for yourself?
I'm awared of IDENTITY function when I ran Sql2k but it doesn't target my goal.
Thanks for your time,

Any suggestions on getting them back? Reinstalling SQL didn't do anything. And yes, I am server administrator.

At my company we recently needed to reload SQL 7 on one of our production servers. We then loaded SQL SP2 on it. Later we realized that none of the perfmon counters are showing up for SQL. I tried the whole unlodctr and lodctr routine but it didn't help. Anyone have any suggestions on how to fix this? Any help would be much appreciated.
Best,
John

On Tuesday the SQL Server Counters showed up in Performance Monitor. Yesterday they were gone. Is there any way they could have disappeared other than someone explicitly deleted them? How would I go about restoring them? Obviously, I'm concerned.
Thanks for the help.

I am working on a machine with SQL server 6.5 that is missing the SQL Server performance monitor counters that link in with NT`s performance monitor. The performance monitor itself seems to function ok. But I can`t check SQL server`s performance using the built in objects.
I`m told, a few months ago, this same problem was occuring. At that time, they did a reinstall of SQL and the counters remained missing. So they rebuilt the server from scratch, starting with a new OS install (NT server 4.0). The counters were there after the rebuild.
About that time, they were also encountering database corruptions (page allocation problems), that went away after the rebuild.
Now, the performance monitor counters for SQL have mysteriously disappeared again. Also, data corruption errors are beginning to show up.
I`ve searched MS knowledgebase and found some suggestions. I`ve tried re-registering using the commandline option of "RegistryRebuild=Yes" on setup and I`ve also checked the permissions on the registry keys. Nothing has helped so far.
Has anyone encountered this problem before and is there anything to do besides rebuild the computer? I don`t want to bother rebuilding if it`s just going to fail in a few months anyway.
Some other characteristics about the system. It`s a huge database (9Gb) and there is disk compression on the data device. I am now in the process of removing compression, because I`m sure it can`t be helping SQL.
Thanks in advance,
Jamie Birger

On 32 bit SSIS installations, both of the following performance counter objects are visible in perfmon.
SQLServer:SSIS Service
SQLServer:SSIS Pipeline
On 64 bit SSIS installations, only the following is available.
SQLServer:SSIS Service
The SQlServer:SSIS Pipeline counters are nowhere to be found.
Should I re-install? Is this a known issue with 64 bit SSIS?
P.S. Remote or local access administrative access with perfmon makes no difference, the "SQLServer:SSIS Pipeline" performance counters don't appear in the listbox when connecting to Windows 2003 x64 server.

I have a 32-bit application which sometimes runs against 64-bit servers. When it does, I can't read the performance counters published by the FTS service because they're 64-bit only. I get event #1022 from PerfLib in the event log:
Windows cannot open the 64-bit extensible counter DLL msftesqlFD in a 32-bit environment. Contact the file vendor to obtain a 32-bit version. Alternatively if you are running a 64-bit native environment, you can open the 64-bit extensible counter DLL by using the 64-bit version of Performance Monitor. To use this tool, open the Windows folder, open the System32 folder, and then start Perfmon.exe.
Does Microsoft make available 32-bit counter libraries for 32-bit clients of the 64-bit FTS? How do I obtain those bits?

We have SSIS installed and everything is working great. We are now to the point of wanting to tune one of our longer running packages and the Performance counters are not working. At all. They show up ok but the counter is always at 0. Is there anything special I have to do to get this to work.
One comment I fould was that the Performance Logs and Alerts service needs to be running to see these counters. I tried to start it and it immediately quit. I set it to automatic startup up and run a package. The counter still read 0.
Is there anything else out there I can try to get these counters to return somthing. Thanks.

The SQL server perfmon counters are missing from one of my MSSQL 7.0 servers - they do appear in others just fine.
Can anyone tell me what is wrong and/or how I can add the counters? I have seen archieve notes on this topic but can't access them for some reason (page appears blank when I click on link)
I am using perfmon to remotely monitor the problem server. My login has sysadmin permissions and is an NT admin. on both the server and the monitoring client. The login account for MSSQL server and SQL Agent services are both sysadmins.
Many thanks

On some of my database servers, there are SQL Server counters in Performance Monitor. On other servers these are not present. How can I turn these on?
I know with the disc counters you need to explicitly enable them:
diskperf -yv
Is there a parallel for SQL Server? I don't remember doing anything to get them working on the servers that have them. All online articles seem to assume that they just exist.
TIA!

I have been collecting information about 20 performance counters (memory, IO, cpu, SQL) that refresh every 15 seconds, would that have any performance hit in the server? what are best practices when collecting information via performance counters?

I've always assumed SQL Server performance monitor counters get automatically installed when SQL Server is installed. I recently installed SQL Server on a remote server and noticed the SQL Server performance monitor counters do not appear in Perfmon. Aren't these counters automatically installed during setup?

I'm using a performance monitor counter with an alert to catch merge replication conflicts. As you might have seen in my earlier psting this alert keeps running even if all conflicts have been resolved. After almost 2 days searching I found that in the table master..sysperfinfo there all the PM counters are stored still has the value 4 for conflicts/sec. When I manually create a new conflict this value becomes 5 which is nonsense since it's not the number of conflicts per second but the total number of conflicts since I started the server. If I check in PM it shows the correct value, whih of course is zero 99% of the time. Has anybody ever experienced the same kind of problem??
Or does anybody know a way of resetting the values in sysperfinfo. Even after allowing direct updates to systemtables I still can't modify the table.
Thanks in advance

SQL 6.5 had counters for monitoring SQL licenses. Where did Microsoft hide them in SQL 7.0? Or did they just disappear? If they are gone, is anyone doing anything to monitor the licenses with something like perfmon? User Connections doesn't help because the application takes several and not always the same number of user connections for one license.

I want to automate the offloading of SQL Server 6.5 logs before they become full. I've set this up 'manually' by triggering a job to run when the LogSpaceUsed threshold of the SQLServerLOg counter exceeds a certain value, but what I want to do now is to automate the starting of this performance counter. Ideally what I'd like is to (1) Start the counter once SQL is up, having (2) first ensured a particular instance of the counter isn't already executing (3) have some means of detecting whether this counter ever stops running in which case we'd have to restart it. This is probably more of an NT question than anything but if anyone has experience of this please let me know....I have tried trying to get SQlServer to start the performance counter as it starts up. I used sp_makestartup to define a stored procedure which runs on startup, this uses xp_cmdshell to call a CMD file which calls the saved counter definition (a .pmw file, performance monitor workspace) I thought this should work but the counter wasn't loaded......this doesn't check whewther an existing version of the counter is already running anyway.

My Performance Counters for SQL Server 2005 are corrupted. How do I repair them ?
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
Salyx
Specs
Windows 2003 Standard, AMD x64.
SQL Server 2005; x64; 9.00.3042.00; SP2 Standard Edition (64-bit) on Windows NT 5.2 (Build 3790: Service
Pack 2)
This is a new install, so no "upgrade from SQL 2000".
This is a production server, so "reboot" is hopefully not part of the suggested repair.
Symptom
Open Performance Monitor. Open Add Counters. Open Dropdown "Performance Object". Instead of the SQL Server Performance Counter names, a list of 4-digit numbers appears. Other Performance Counters, eg, Processor, work as normal.
Attempted repair 1 - Recovery of system performance counters
Open Command Prompt
CD WindowsSystem32
lodctr /R
This failed to restore the full set of performance counters for an unknown reason.
Attempted repair 2 - Recovery from a backup file from a second host
I used the performance counter backup file from a second host which has an identical windows install. This properly restored the system performance counters, but failed to restore the SQL Server ones. This seems odd, because both system have - as much as I can tell - the same applications installed.
Open Command Prompt
CD WindowsSystem32
REM Load backup file from second host
lodctr /R:c:PerfStringBackup.INI
Attempted repair 3 - Recover SQL Server - specific counters
Open Command Prompt
CD WindowsSystem32
REM Load backup file from second host
lodctr /R:c:PerfStringBackup.INI
REM Clear and re-load MSSQLServer counters...
unlodctr MSSQLServer
lodctr "/R:C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQL.1MSSQLBinnsqlctr.ini"
Executing this pretty much wiped most performance counters. Only a small sub-set is now available.
More Info
SQL Server 2005 and later SP2 were installed under the administrator account.
MSSQLServer service runs under its own Windows Account (permission issues ??)
I get Event Log entries regarding x86 vs x64 Performance Counter Libraries. These, however, do not refer to ASP, not SQL Server.
I have 2 (virtually) identical hosts (same install sequence of apps). The Performance Counters on the second host work fine.
Exctrlst.exe lists MSSQLSERVER service, but I don't know how to diagnose the details.

There are so many to choose from, which ones are the most important to monitor?
Also if you have your data files and trans logs set to grow automaticlly and would like to change this to a fixed number is there a way to determine how large you should set them at? Thanks in advance.

I have an Alwayson group with 2 Nodes. The SQL Performance counters are always showing on the secondary, but the primary is inconsistent.
I loaded the counters on the primary (unlodctr and lodctr ), restarted the SQL service, and confirmed that the counters were there. 2 days later the counters were gone again. I loaded them again. A week later we had maintenance, failed over to the secondary, and when we failed back to the primary - the counters were gone again….
