I added code to show the unmatched counters, but left it out. In the meantime, you can uncomment the section with "Incomplete Analyses" in PAL.ps1 to see if that works for you.

I've downloaded this recently and it now contains an MSI dated 27/10/2016 which after installation did not include the SP2013.XML. Is this omitted for a reason?

It seems that there is an issue with Set-EnglishLocales where the $global:currentThread is being used to set the CurrentCulture and the CurrentUICulture for the currentThread.

I get the exception as following on it:

The variable '$global:currentThread' cannot be retrieved because it has not been set.

No, I tried to fix this by setting the missing value before initialization, this way:

$global:currentThread = [System.Threading.Thread]::CurrentThread
$global:currentThread.CurrentCulture = $usenglishLocales
$global:currentThread.CurrentUICulture = $usenglishLocales

The PAL Tool gets stuck when analyzing large logs even after reducing the time interval of .blg logs to be analyzed. Even used other options of selecting only specific Process, Processor and Memory parameters to reduce the load on the tool. Also additionally running the tool as a high priority process and also made sure that there are no other applications running on the system except the normal system processes but not able to get the analysis results in time.

Attached is a screen shot of the progress after around 9 hours of the tool execution.

Hi.

I can't analyze perfmon blg file generated on Windows 2008 R2 server on my Win8.1 PC with PAL. Same collection set generated on 2012 R2 server works fine. I attach logs.

Thanks.

Hello,

I am using the following perfmon counter to collect performance information about my application.

"\Process(_Total)\% Processor Time"

This counter, however, does not appear in the report generated by PAL. Is there a specific configuration (i.e., threshold) that needs to be set in order to include this counter.

Thank you,
Jim
Comments: ** Comment from web user: ClintH **

The _Total instance is the sum of all of the process instances and not useful in my opinion.
When identifying a processor issue, use \Processor Information(*)\% Processor Time.
With that said, if you want to include it, then open SystemOverview.xml in a text editor and remove the XML node called EXCLUDE which has the _Total instance for that analysis.

Also additionally running the tool as a high priority process and also made sure that there are no other applications running on the system except the normal system processes but not able to get the analysis results in time. I am running this Tool on a Citrix Virtual Desktop (VDI) with 4 GB RAM which according to me should be sufficient.

Make sure you are running the 64-bit version. 32-bit versions of PAL cannot handle large counter logs. Also, use 1 thread for each processor. A single threaded PAL will take a long time.

I get these errors when processing single blg files or multiple multiple blg files. Any help would be appreciated.

Created Unassigned: Error occurs executing PAL.ps1 from different working directory in PowerShell [65582]

In a project I'm working on, I have a consolidated performance testing script that runs through a few utilities to execute a performance test then runs PAL to analyze the performance counters. PAL resides in a subfolder below the consolidated script:

e.g.
* PerfTest.ps1
* /Tools
** /PAL_2.7.7
*** PAL.ps1
*** ...

PerfTest.ps1 invokes PAL as follows:
& "${PSScriptRoot}\Tools\PAL_2.7.7\PAL.ps1" <Args Here>

If executing PerfTest.ps1 from its root directory, when PAL.ps1 is invoked it immediately fails with an error of being unable to find PalGenerateCounterStats.ps1, due to the fact that the relative path is simply .\PalGenerateCounterStats.ps1.

This same issue affects PalGenerateMultiCounterStats.ps1 and any XML inheritance for the threshold files. I will be attaching a patch momentarily, but wanted to have a bug to reference.

bdunn72 has uploaded a patch.

Description:
Allowing for PAL.ps1 to be invoked from a different working directory than the one the script resides in. This includes proper resolution of other PowerShell scripts needed by PAL.ps1 to be able to function and resolution of XML inheritance with relative paths.

Also added a parameter to NOT clear the log when executing PAL.ps1, in the event that it is part of a larger operation and logs shouldn't be wiped.

I am trying to get more granular analysis results out of my perfmon log, but my reports always come out with an analysis interval of just under five hours. I'm setting the Analysis Interval dropdown under Output Options to other values (I'd really like to get 10 minute intervals), but no change. Please advise.
