Hallo,
I'm totally new to PAL, but it fascinates me... (and sorry for my poor English ;-)
After the very first issue with PAL is solved (no access to the temp-folder, many thanks to Clint), next problem waits for its solution.
PAL processes the SamplePerfmonLog.blg with success (yeah, my first success!), but not my own BLG File. The following error appears:
> Overall progress... Status: Preparing counter log(s), PAL 2.7.4 Progress: 24%... Preparing counter log(s),
> [MergeConvertFilterPerfmonLogs] ERROR: Unable to find the converted log file: C:\Users\Wende\AppData\Local\Temp\d82ac132-1c1b-4585-a500-6b58e3ac54ba\_FilteredPerfmonLog.csv. Relog.exe failed to process the log. Review the results above this line. If relog.exe continues to fail, then try running Relog.exe manually and/or contact Microsoft Customer Support Servers for support on Relog.exe only. PAL is not supported by Microsoft.
I looked at the PAL.LOG and tried to execute following command manually in an Admin-Console:
> relog.exe "C:\install\Christian\P41299W7_20150905-000006\P41299W7_PAL_System_Overview.blg" -cf "C:\Users\Wende\AppData\Local\Temp\d82ac132-1c1b-4585-a500-6b58e3ac54ba\CounterListFilter.txt" -f csv -o "C:\Users\Wende\AppData\Local\Temp\d82ac132-1c1b-4585-a500-6b58e3ac54ba\_FilteredPerfmonLog.csv" -y
Result of the attempt:
Examples 72
0.00%
Error:
No Data
No Data? Hm...
I looked at the eventviewer (...Microsoft \ Windows \ Diagnosis-PLA) where two errors arise when I start the Collector Set SystemOverview (I try to translate the error messages from German to English):
> The Performance Counter \Memory\Long-Term Average Standby Cache Lifetime (s) could not be added to the Collector PAL_System_Overview. Error code 0xC0000BB8.
> The Performance Counter \Network Inspection System\Average inspection latency (sec/bytes) could not be added to the Collector PAL_System_Overview. Error code 0xC0000BB8.
Two Performance Counters of the PAL template couldn't be added to the Collector. Could this be the reason why processing the BLG file to CSV didn't success or reports "No Data"?
Perhaps anyone can give me a clue where to look for?
Thanks a lot in advance
Wende

SOLVED!
Clints answere on http://pal.codeplex.com/workitem/24003 helped.
After converting the BLG file with the PerfMon Log Translator Tool PAL succeeded with processing my BLG file.
Next critical question arises: The one and only Process (svchost#5) occupies in regular spaces most of the RAM (1,5GB). It eliminates all other programs in RAM, they must be paged out to the pagefile (hard disk is very busy and overhelmed). In these 5-10 minutes the user can't work because of the slow PC. After 5-10 minutes the process releases the RAM and the user can work again. For an hour ;-)
My Question: HOW CAN I FIGURE OUT WHICH PROGRAM/SERVICE STANDS BEHIND SVCHOST#5???
But now it's time to got to bed. Night will be short but I'm lucky for now ;-)
Good night...
