Totally oddball question, but we're expanding our usage of SCOM and while setting up some dashboards and alerts for our SQL servers, I noticed that the default collectors don't include many of the counters that PAL uses.
We've found the PAL tool to be extremely helpful over the years, and are trying to get some proactive alerting and monitoring in place. The DBAs current use Performance dashboards and DMVs, but these tools don't have robust alerting or provide for historical trending.
While its possible to make the counters manually, as per http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh457548.aspx this is proving to be quite cumbersome.
Are you aware of any automated or bulk import means to get the collection sets from PAL into SCOM 2012sp1?
