Hallo,

I'm new with PAL.

In his very exciting book Windows Performance Analysis Field Guide Clint recommended to use PAL for a quick access to performance analysis. So I installed PAL (on Windows 7 Ultimate, 64Bit) and after the first start for analyzing a BLG file there is an error in the pal.ps1 script:

I know Powershell a little bit but I can't find out, why there is a problem with access. I'm member of Administrators group an I run PAL with admin rights. I set UAC on lowest level but no success.

Is there another possibility why I have no access to create or access (the created?) folder?

Thanks in advance for every help oder hint

Does your program work with exchange to count total email sent/month? How it work? Do I have to install it on exchange server?

Hi Wende,

That error shows that PAL is not able to create a folder under your %temp% directory. This is very unusual since that directory is typically open to be written to. I'm not sure what to tell you other than to look at the NTFS permissions of that folder to ensure that your account has write access.

Where there is only 1 ANALYSIS, the PAL.PS1 script fails:

This is in the function _AddCounterStatsToXmlCounterInstances_

This is becasue in the lines above the statement:

Comments: ** Comment from web user: ClintH **

Thanks for the direct code references. A PAL threshold file should have more than one DATASOURCE node, so I'm not sure what to do to fix this.

Try using the attachment to replace PAL.ps1 in the PAL installation folder and see if that fixes it. Thanks.

Comments: ** Comment from web user: ClintH **

Hi Shashi,

Can you clarify what you are trying to do?

It is best to export a Performance Monitor data collector template from the PAL tool by choosing a threshold file that best matches the target system. Use System Overview if you are not sure which one to use and click the Export to template button. Save the XML file. Next, open Performance Monitor on the target system and use the XML file as a template. Finish the Wizard and start the data collector. After enough data is collected (this is up to you), stop the data collector and analyze the resulting BLG file with the PAL tool using the same threshold file that was used in the original export.

I hope this helps. Thank you.

Hi Clint,

your're right! The NTFS permissions were insufficient indeed. The hard disk had problems and two crashes may cause this problem.

Now the problem is solved!

The next problem ist appearing but I write it in an extra Item because I think it has nothing to do with this problem.

Thanks for your help!

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:

Error:

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

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...
