SQL performance counters missing

  • Need help from the experts on this, I have one test server where 8 instances of SQL server 2005/2008 are running. On four of them SQL performance counters are missiing. i tried to load/unload counters and replaced the sqlctr dll with the working ones but didnt work. Please share if any ideas.

  • when you refer to perf counter being missing, where did you look for them?

    Perfmon?

  • Right..performance monitor shows sql counters from other instances but not from four, i find it installation issue but not know what components i need to reinstall..

  • The counters are visible on database level but not on OS level(dm_os_performance_counters), i tried to follow one post earlier to make it work but couldnt find any positive results:

  • Did you add them to it? They are not there by default. You have to add those counters to your monitor.

  • I can find the records in the dmv but they are not visible on performance monitor. I tried to load them by lodctr sqlctr.dll but didn't work.
