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!

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.
Hi SQL lovers!
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,

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?
View 2 Replies View RelatedOn 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?

Hi,
Have two servers, one production server and one backup server. Both are Windows 2003 Server having SQL Server 2000 installed.
I have created replication on these servers using a wizard. I then generated SQL scripts to delete and create the replication. These scripts work well, but to test to remove the replication on both servers I used sp_removedbreplication 'DBNAME' on both servers. Not all were removed and on Replication Monitor and sub items plus Log Reader Agent there were added an icon, a red 'X' as in error. The replication seems to work.
Does anyone have any idea on why this happened and what I can do about it. It is not very nice to have errors in replication on a customers servers.
Grateful for answers
Best,

Hi
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 !
Hi,
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
Object,Computer
SQLServer-Log,ERMINTRUDE
SQLServer-Procedure Cache,ERMINTRUDE
SQLServer-Locks,ERMINTRUDE
SQLServer,ERMINTRUDE
SQLServer-Log,FLORENCE
SQLServer-Procedure Cache,FLORENCE
SQLServer-Locks,FLORENCE
SQLServer,FLORENCE
---------------------------------
Could some one please tell me how to gather and view the logged information ? smn5.log contains 10MB of data - the perf. monitor shows that.
Thanks

im trying to measure the amount of CPU used in a backup and restore, using the SQL Server Databases: Backup Restore counter in Perfmon.
I can select The counter, but it does not let me select an instance database to monitor.
see image:
I have 3 instances on my machine, 2 sql 2005 and 1 sql 2008. why do these instances not appear? i dont know how to set up this monitoring.
if i type LOCALHOST or 127.0.0.1 in the "Select counters from computer" text box i can see all databases under my sql 2005 instances, but not the ones under the 2008 instances. I have disabled all sql server 2005 services and can confirm none of the sql 2008 instance databases are showing up.
this is a huge problem, especially for when i start stress testing sql server 2008 in preperation for upgrading.
anyone any ideas on why i cannot see sql server 2008 instances in perfmon? I have tried from a remote pc also with the same results.
I set up the collector, and specify the Run As as my AD account in the Collector Set - Properties - General screen. My AD account is the local admin of the remote server.
However, the collector does not seem to work. Although the collecting set is shown as running, the The blg file stays at 64K. If I open it, there is nothing inside (no counter at the bottom). What did I miss?
Would the Performance Monitor be the best tool
to use if you wanted to find out how many transactions
are being process a day?
Hello all,

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.
Why??????
Thank you.Sev
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.
TIA

View 1 Replies View RelatedI am learning about using the Performance Monitor (SQL Server 7.0).

Hi All,
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.
Anyone help?

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???

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.
Thanks,
David.
Any suggestions on getting them back? Reinstalling SQL didn't do anything. And yes, I am server administrator.
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
I need help in anyone with this problem.
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.
Thanks.

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
How can I get my counters ? thanks
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.
Thanks

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
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 am struggling to come up with a set-based solution for this problem (i.e. that doesn't involve loops/cursors) ..A table contains items (identified by an ItemCode) and the set they belong to (identified by a SetId). Here is some sample data:
SetIdItemCode
1A
1B
24
28
26
310
312
410
[code]....
You can see that there are some sets that have the same members:
- 1 and 10
- 2 and 11
- 7, 8 & 9
What I want to do is identify the sets that have the same members, by giving them the same ID in another column called UniqueSetId.
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.
