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.
Hi,
We had 5 instances of SQL Server running on one of our machines and everything looked to be working fine. Today I installed another instance for a new application and once done and rebooted the new instance didn't show in the SQL Server Enterprise Manager. At this point we decided to uninstall it. After that 4 of the existing instances have diapered as well even though they are running and responding requests from their respective applications.
I did some googling and all I could see is something related to a command called nscontrol but I couldn’t find any nscontrol executable on that machine.
Does anyone have any idea what this problem could be?
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'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?

My Performance Counters for SQL Server 2005 are corrupted. How do I repair them ?
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

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.
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….
Today when I tried to troubleshoot a failed job, I found out that the job history is disappreared. Some jobs' history still exist. Does anybody have idea what happened? How can I fix it?
Thanks a lot.
When I removed/re-installed SQLServer 2005 (Express) all of my dll's related to SQL Server disappeared from C:ProgramFilesMicrosoft SQLServer90SDKAssemblies: .ConnectionInfo, .Smo,.SMOEnum,.SQLEnum,.WmiEnum that I know of - maybe more.
How can I re-install these? Are they in the SQL kit, VB, SDK ???
Any help would be appreciated.
Hi All,
I encountered a bizzard situation. The guest id in tempdb disappeared after I rebooted (shutdown and startup) my server. That caused errors in application whenever a stored proc needs to create a temporary table.
Has anyone seen this happened before? Any idea on why or how it happened?
Thanks in advance.
I have a stored procedure that for some reason disappeared on me. When I do “select * from the sysobjects”, it’s there. When I look at it from the EM, it’s not there. I refreshed everything a lot of times. Here is the data I get from the sysobjects:
myproc90587511U 141610615041224002002-01-26 15:41:13.44702240U 18302002-01-26 15:41:13.447000005200
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
We setup a number of roles with access rights to tables in the DB. This week for some unknown reason, rights on these roles disappeared.
We had to run a restore to reset the roles in the database. After the restore, we could not reproduce the problem.
Are there scenarios to avoid that would cause rights to drop from roles and users? (These rights were gone not just hidden)

Hello,
I was modifying some standard reports of one planning program, by downloading .rdl file from report server and creating a new report project. I have done so many times.
Last weak in one of those new reports only header of the report was seen in the report server as I thought I had made some kind of mistake tried to look for it, and after some time the problem fixed itself and I blamed everything on one mixed up connection between the tables in the report, because after removing it the problem fixed itself, but now I think that was just a coincidence.
This weak after working fine for about a weak, 6 reports appeared as only headers and footers, they worked fine yesterday and no changes were made to the reports, but in the morning only the header is seen.
The reports that are affected are the 4 new ones, and 2 original ones, they are all dealing with the same date just different grouping and sorting.
Does anyone know how to fix this problem?

hello,
am not sure if this is the right forum to post this.
We have a couple of sites running MS SQL, however we have never had issues with data corruption.
I was working with a certain site and then noticed that all users in the users table were missing except one.
Secondly, the users table had all permissions revoked.
how did this happen and whats the best way to go about restoring it.
Ehi
How you would calculate the average read/write latency experienced by a SQL Server instance during a specific time window in order to monitor this for multiple instances. From this MSDN blog, I know that you have to take multiple samples and do some calculations to get the correct latency.
[URL] ...
However, the SQLServer:Resource Pool Stats object tracks these numbers per resource pool and we want to get one number for the whole server. Since there can be a different base value for each resource pool, you can't simply sum the numerator values together. Here's some sample data from a server that illustrates the problem.
object_name counter_name instance_name cntr_value cntr_type
SQLServer:Resource Pool Stats Avg Disk Read IO (ms) default 307318919 1073874176
SQLServer:Resource Pool Stats Avg Disk Read IO (ms) Base default 25546724 1073939712
SQLServer:Resource Pool Stats Avg Disk Read IO (ms) internal 2045730 1073874176
SQLServer:Resource Pool Stats Avg Disk Read IO (ms) Base internal 208270 1073939712
I'm thinking I would need to do some sort of weighted average, but I'm not sure if that will result in the correct value. Here's the formula I am thinking about using currently before doing the calculation over time
((default * default[base]) + (internal * internal[base]))/(default[base] + internal[base])
Then to do the calculation over time, I'd use the changes in the calculated numerator and denominator to get the average.
Does this sound like to correct way to get this value? Is there a good way to verify?

You can ignore this and it will complete the installation, but subsequently trying to patch with SP2 will fail on the same sections - Hotfix.exe crashes whilst attempting to patch Database Services, Integration Services and Client Components (3 separate crashes).
I've removed SQL Server 2005 elements and tried to re-install, but it's not improved the situation.

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.
Thanks!
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
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,

Hi all,
I have sql 2000 enterprise. From performance monitor, the sql counters are missing. During installation I've made sure that the sqlcounters are installed. The sqlctr80.dll is installed. But still the counters are not showing.
Has anybody come across this, not sure what to do next
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.
View 9 Replies View RelatedOn 32 bit SSIS installations, both of the following performance counter objects are visible in perfmon.

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.
