I have recently used perfmon (performance monitor) at a customer site. I created a Data Collector Set to monitor CPU, Memory, Disk, and Network during one day. Then, I ran the monitor and I received a “beautiful” error message\u2026<\/p>\n

What happened? \ud83d\ude09
\nOk, to be sure that it was not a rights or a setting problem in my Data Collector Set, I tried with a System Data Collector Set and got the same error.<\/p>\n

\"perfmon_error01a.png\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I read the event viewer and no error or information was listed. \"Cry\"
\nSince the message said the service cannot be started, I ran the services manager from Windows server and I discovered that the \u201cPerformance Logs and Alerts\u201d service is in disabled state.<\/p>\n

\"b2ap3_thumbnail_perfmon_error02.jpg\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I changed the mode to manual but did not start it.<\/p>\n

\"b2ap3_thumbnail_perfmon_error03.jpg\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"perfmon_error04.png\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I returned to the performance monitor tool to first run a system Data Collector Set to be sure that it works fine!<\/p>\n

\"perfmon_error05.png\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I looked up the service manager and see that the \u201cPerformance Logs and Alerts\u201d has started.
\nWhen stopping the monitoring, we can see that the service continues to run.<\/p>\n

\"b2ap3_thumbnail_perfmon_error06.jpg\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Finally, when our monitoring is finished, I am ale to stop the service and disable it.<\/p>\n

TIPS<\/h3>\n

Another important point is that per default, for a user-defined Data Collector Set, after one day, the data is stored in a cab file and directly deleted. After 8 weeks, the cab file is deleted.<\/p>\n

\"perfmon_error07_20140704-065246_1.png\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Double-click on the cab file to see all data files from your monitoring:<\/p>\n

My conclusion: Perfmon is a really good cost-free tool for monitoring, but you need to know a few things before using it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
