I received the same error -- but not confident to modify PS.

Machine is on UTC -- modified my settings to UTC thinking issue could be the time difference. USA MDT.

Then tried same file with different threshold file -- System Overview. Working. Must be the SQL 2008 r2 (?)

New Post: Ex2013 and empty HTML results file.

I just upgraded PAL to 2.7.4. I'm running it against some Ex2013 logs.

It generates the graphics for the counters and is past the 82% mark, but then the processing windows close quickly and the HTML files stay at 0kb with nothing in the file. If I look in the folders the individual graphics files are there, but nothing in the HTML.

It happens so quickly i can't capture the error message in the window.
I'm getting the same result with PAL installed on Win7-64, Win2008R2, Win2012R2 that is processing.

Any leads?

Thanks.

I've attempted this using the latest version of PAL (v2.7.4) on Windows 10, but have also tried this on Windows 8 and Windows 7, however I continually get an empty HTML results file.

The various graphs generate ok, and the html file is created however it just doesn't get populated with the graph data.

When I watch the Powershell script run, I believe there may be an error message at the very end but the window closes before I can catch what it is.

Any help would be greatly appreciated as I use this tool quite a lot.

Thanks!

Created Unassigned: SQL Template Missing Disk / CPU / Memory Information [64848]

Hi,

For some reason recently the templates which get exported (in my case specifically around SQL Server templates) aren't including the memory, disk, network and cpu counters anymore. Is this something I've misconfigured at my end, or is it now just the way it works to have to create two separate template exports to collect this information?

Not a major issue, but this did catch me off guard when collecting data from a client environment only to discover that all the usual OS counters were missing during the collection (resulting in us having to re-run this for them).

Once again, any help would be hugely appreciated :)

Thanks!

Rated 4 Stars (out of 5) - Very good for small log files, but too memory intensive to be used for bigger ones. I first tried analysing a 24hour perfmon log on a 'small' box with 'only' 16GB of memory. PAL crashed because it ran out of memory while loading counter statistics into memory. Then I tried on a box with 64GB of memory, resulting in it using 40GB/64GB while being at analysis step 11 out of 52.

Then I tried on a box with 64GB of memory, resulting in it using 40GB/64GB while being at analysis step 11 out of 52.

Is there any way to overcome this? I would be logical if PAL would release the memory for a previous analysis, but judging from the overall memory growth, it doesn't seem to do this.

I think it would be really helpful if you would add this as a hint to the wizard. Or better yet would be to give a warning based on the amount of fysical memory in the local machine & size of the log file before starting.

I've been running PAL now many times on a large log file, and am running out of physical memory every time.

If you want to see what it's crashing on, you can run the powershell command the wizard generates in a cmd.exe window with admin rights. In that windows the error message will stay visible and you'll get some more feedback, as to what PAL has encountered.

It would be great if it were possible to specify by parameter that you don't want to display any error. For some situations (e.g. running PAL from a batch) it will be sufficient to write it into log but it is not necessary to display it.

New Post: Help to understand the alerts in PAL reports

Hi,

I am new to PAL reports. I am trying to use PAL to analyze our SQL2008R2 instances on a cluster server, which hosts multiple SQL instances. The following is part of PAL reports generating from counter logs on one of the nodes. It seems all my alerts have two numbers, such as "Alerts: 101|365". I believe the second one indicates how many alerts generated during the time period or for that particular counter. However, I am not sure what the first number means. It seems the alerts on other people's reports only has one number. Could someone help me understand the numbers?

Thanks.

I am seeing exactly the same error with PAL 2.7.4. I am running the analysis on a Windows 2008 VM. I have successfully analysed log files with PAL on this computer previously. I can provide the .blg file etc if required. Thanks.
