Perfmon Issue

  • Hi Everyone,

    Hope all is well.

    I am noticing an issue with my perfmon on the sql prod server. I am seeing zeros for the following counters ever since the SQLserver services were restarted. The reason for the service restart was due to the change in SQL Server service account to run as a domain service account instead of local system:

    Batch Requests/sec

    SQL Re-Compilations/sec

    SQL Compilations/sec

    Memory Grants Pending

    Transactions

    User Connections

    Page reads/sec

    Buffer cache hit ratio

    Free list stalls/sec

    Checkpoint pages/sec

    Lazy writes/sec

    Page life expectancy

    Page writes/sec

    Is there a way that I can fix this issue?

    Thanks in advance

  • Thanks for the reply SQLRNNR..but would this require any service or server reboot? or would it affect any apps connected to the sql server right now if i execute the command from the prompt?

  • that command is for perfmon to refresh the perf counters.

    There should be no negative impact

  • SQLRNNR I have just run the command as an administrator but I still see the zeroes for all the above perfmon counters. But I dont see any issues as of now from the database or from the application.

  • Are you able to see the same details using select * from sys.dm_os_performance_counters?

  • That query returns me zero records...I wonder the zeros got anything to do with the permissions of new SQLServer Service account that has been put in place of local system..please advice.

  • I think I figured out the issue..I had the perfmon running while the service account was being changed...I will restart the sql server service and check if that fixes the issue..
