I keep getting this error message when trying to import SQL perfmon files.
An error occurred on...
If ($XmlCounterInstanceNode.NAME.ToLower() -eq $sCounterInstance.ToLower())
At C:\Program Files\PAL\PAL\PAL.ps1:1505 char:45 + If ($XmlCounterInstanceNode.NAME.ToLower ... + ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
You cannot call a method on a null-valued expression.
I created the perfmon template using the PAL tool and then captured the perfmon data into a BLG. I get this error when PAL is parsing the data.
Tried it on 2 different machines now and get the same error. Different BLG files.

As an additional data point, I get the identical error, using the SQLServer2012.xml or SQLServer2008R2.xml threshold files on PAL 2.7.1. SystemOverView.xml shows in the inherited list, with QuickSystemOverview.xml recursively inherited. As reported by someone else earlier, I get no errors with just SystemOverview.xml.
