"Performance Module Could Not Find a Performance Counter" - Temporary Workaround

Sat, 01 Mar 2008 14:07:16 GMT

If you are receiving alerts “Performance Module could not find a performance counter” in the Operations Manager Console, please perform the following steps to disable the rule via override.

Note: When you run the Operations Console on a computer that is not a Management Server, the Connect To Server dialog box displays. In the Server name text box, type the name of the Operations Manager 2007 Management Server to which you want the Operations Console to connect.

1. Navigate to the Authoring Space in the Console.
2. Select “Rules” under “Management Pack Objects”.
3. Type “Performance Data Source Module” in the “Look for:” box and click “Find Now”. Be sure a Scope is not set or filtering the “Health Service” Target.
4. Find the rule, “Performance Data Source Module could not find a performance counter” under “Type: Health Service (2)”, right-click, select “Overrides”, “Disable the Rule”, “For all objects of type: Health Service”.
5. When prompted, “Are you sure you want to disable this rule for Health Service?” click “Yes”.

Microsoft is working on the long-term solution to address this problem.

OpsMgr 2007 SP1 RC Console Crashes on x64

Thu, 08 Nov 2007 19:39:21 GMT

When you launch the Distributed Application Designer from a console installed on an x64 server the console crashes with .NET error in the Application Log (something of type badimageformat).This appears to be a bug in SP1 RC. To work around it use a console from a 32 bit machine to connect to the x64 server. On OpsMgr 2007 RTM this issue does not exist.
