I started out with trying to get to know the existing SQL Servers (6.5 and 7.0). I am missing some Performance Monitor objects (ie SQL Server: Buffer Manager, SQL Server: General Statistics, etc). I am surprised that it is missing.
A typical SQL Server setup:
* NT 4 with SP6
* SQL Server 7 (standard) with SP2
* 2gig Mem
* Over 50gig HD
Does any of you ever have this problem? Any solutions? Any answer would be greatly appreciated.
anyone else having issues with the SQL Server 7.0 specific objects in performance monitor not being available from remote locations. I am monitoring our production SQL Server 7.0 machine from my local, development SQL Server 7.0 box. If I try to access the SQL Server objects for the development server (local) I have no problem. If I try to access the production machine's (remote) objects, they are not available in the object drop down. I'm also able to access the development objects from my workstation (third machine) but not production.
Any tips would be greatly appreciated...I would really love to be able to see how well (or not so well) the databases are performing in real time.
Have a sql 2000 db which I have no say in design, just make it run. My typical sql counters such as system queue, and buffer cache and cache hit ratio are all good. If I need to monitor disk activity (mainly how fast my data is being read, how long the user is waiting for that data for both reads and inserts), what are the best counters for this, and what value should throw up a red flag.
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.
Im missing all SQL Server counters in the Performance Monitor
and have looked at article: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=http://support.microsoft.com:80/support/kb/articles/Q196/6/57.ASP&NoWebContent=1
but this article refers to SQL 7...I have 2K with SP3 and MS03-031
I am running performance monitor on a number of servers without any problems, however on one server, when I select SQL Server Log, It does not show a list of the available db's under the instances.
Other counters, say under SQL Server appear fine.
The server is running SQL 6.5 sp 4, I am running the monitor from an NT 4 Workstation, with full administrator rights on the server.
Thanks in advance for any help
(I have tried MS Tech Sup Online and can find no hits for this one)
I have a curious problem. I have a development environment SQL Server 6.5 sp 5a and a production environment sp 4 When I view the performance monitor in the development environment I can see the SQL Server object counter but on the production environment I can see all object except sql server objects. What could the problem be ? Add chart on the production server shows me all ojects other that SQL Server and the same is not true for development !
In sql server 2014 , many performance counters are missing .I need " Buffer cache hit ratio " under "sql server :buffer manager " .Is there any way to get it back or removed form sql server2014 ?
If I'm on a remote machine, meaning a computer not in the WSFC cluster, and I open SSMS 2014, point it to a SQL Instance, and open activity monitor:
1. I get all the panes and charts except % Processor Time.
2. Then, if I authenticate to the cluster's domain by mapping a drive with valid domain credentials, I'm free to put performance counters in the Perfmon - - - but SQL Activity Monitor shuts down with“The Activity Monitor is unable to execute queries against server SQL-V01INSTANCE1..Activity monitor for this instance will be placed into a paused state.Use the context menu in the overview pane to resume the activity monitor.
Additional information: Access is denied. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80070005 (E_ACCESSDENIED))(Mscorlib)”
3. Of course, the Activity monitor can't be resumed via the context menu. Removing counters and closing the perfmon do not work. I dropped the mapped drive and rebooted the machine. That brought back 95% of the information in the Activity monitor.
4. Further experimentation showed that any mapping of drive shares present on the SQL Server to the computer running SSMS cut off functionality of the 'overview' pane in the remote machine's SQL Activity monitor -- the monitor that had been trying to watch the server offering the shares.
I've been running SQL 2005 Enterprise SP1 for some time. After installing SP2, I miss the "Database Mirror Monitor"-Feature. Where is it? Did MS kill the feature?
I want to know whether any performance monitoring tools/procedure available in market for SQL Server other than Performance monitor, Profiler, Query Ananlzer of SQL Server.
Hi guys! Please tell me where is mistake? I have win.nt workst. 4.0 and SQL Server 6.5 Client Configuration Utility installed. I open Performace monitor and try to add to chart sql server which already have been registered in SQL Enterprise Manager. And I have error message: Computer name not found.
Until this week, I had full functionality of SQL Monitor`s capabilities to monitor SQL Server. Now, when I select our Production Server and attempt to `Add to Chart` I am unable to view/select any SQL Server... entries in the `Object` dropdown list box. When I click the down arrow with the Development server selected I DO see all of the SQL Server selections. This inability to `see` the SQL Server functions in the Performance Monitor for the Production server exists regardless of whether I attempt to view them from a Win NT 4.0 Workstation or at the Server`s console. Again, I had full functionality from both locations last week. The logins have not changed. What has changed?
ANY help would be GREATLY appreciated. I need to monitor this system and I`m running blind at the monent.
I have a winnt and sql server 6.5 when i open up sql performace monitor it doesn't show any thing it comes blank when i go to reintialize the sqlserver object is not there i need to know how can i fix it
Does anyone know of a good and preferably free sql performance monitor? I feel my site is running a little slowly after some changes i made and i would like to check it out. Thanks.
I've been asked to trouble shoot an installation where many stored procedures are performing poorly. Upon examination I've found that the queries in these procs consume a large volume of logical IO (table scans etc). I'm trying to show that this could cause poor performance of the stored procedures as well as degredation of the server as a whole - but I cant find any suitable counters in Perfmon.
Hi! When I run the PerformanceMonitor for SQL7 on my computer the Object-combobox shows the SQL-parameters. But when I run the PerfMon on another computer (with SQL7) these parameters won't show. Is this a registry-problem or??? What can I do to make these parameters visible???
I'm trying to set up Performance Monitor to watch my SQL Servers. There should be an SQL object in the drop down list in the 'Add To Chart' dialogue box in PerfMon. But not for me! What am i missing here?
I've started the saved Performance Monitor file you get with SQL Server and i can see the 5 already added objects (buffer cache etc..) but when i go to add more, there is no SQL Server object - strange!?
Can anyone help?
Immense thanks, Kyle Henly. Allegedly a DBA! Halcrow Group UK.
Till couple of days ago.. I was able to watch different object counters in SQL Server performance monitor..
For some reason now i am unable to see non of the object counters related to sql server in performance monitor..
The error it records in event viewer is as follows..
The description for Event ID[1001] in Source [ SQLCTR70] could not be found. It contains the following insertion string[s]: SQL Performance DLL Open function failed..
We have SQL Server 7.0 running on a NT 4 sp6 server and non of its items track in performance monitor. Under the SQL program tab, when performance monitor is clicked, it comes up and has items for SQL, but they all track as zero. You can "add" other items such as processor items and they track fine. Any ideas???
Thanks in advance!

I am experiencing problems gathering Stats from Performance Monitor on SQL Server. I am running NT4 with SP5 applied, with SQL Server 7.00.699 . My problem is that I can use the "Performance Monitor" under the Microsoft SQL Server 7.0 sub-menu (Start Menu) to monitor the SQL Server Stats on my machine, but I am unable to monitor any of the servers in our enterprise. Performance Monitor does not even list the SQL Server Object. Does anyone have any suggestions please?
Hi, I am trying to set up an auto dump for Transaction log using performance monitor ( Log space used(%) )... Although I followed the steps, it did not work... can anyone tell me what am I doing wrong ?
1. create an error # using Server/message/New etc... 2. Defined sql exec alert : right click sql exective/manage alerts/operators.. 3. Defined performance monitor using add to alert and set Alert if radio botton to over %80.and Run_Program on Alert: c:mssqlinnE 5555 /T /S servername
then I inset 2000 rows is a table I still get :
Msg 1105, Level 17, State 1 Can't allocate space for object 'publishers' in database 'test' because the 'default' segment is full. If you ran out of space in Syslogs, dump the transaction log. Otherwise, use ALTER DATABASE or sp_extendsegment to increase the size of the segment.
I thought what I did is the right thing to do, but it seems that I am doing something wrong, Please help.
Does any one know, how I can add SQLServer performance monitoring counters back on my NT server. For some reason I am missing these counters. I really do not want to reinstall either the NT OS or SQL OS if there is anyway to aviod this. 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.
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?
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 logged some of the parameters of my SQL server using the Performance monitor into a log file - smn5.log & the log settings in smn5.pml. I started the log and the log file (smn5.log) started growing in size indicating that it was collecting data.
I then went to Options button and said Save. After this in the File menu, I selected Export Log and saved it in a .CSV file, expecting it to contain the Logged data. However, it contains only the Log settings as shown below : -------------------------------- Reported on L&T1362 Log File C:MSSQLLOGsmn5 Interval: 15.000 seconds
