Create a “black box” performance counter data collector template

First, determine the Microsoft products and services installed on the target system. In this example, I have a customer who needs a data collector set template for a Microsoft Windows Server 2012 R2 system running a named instance of Microsoft SQL Server 2012. Therefore, I want to target performance counters for both Windows Server 2012 R2 as well as SQL Server 2012.

Arguably the easiest way to do this is to install the  Performance Analysis of Logs (PAL)  tool – an open source project/tool of mine. It requires Powershell 2.0 and the  Microsoft Chart Controls for the .NET Framework 3.5  – both are free products from Microsoft. Once installed, run the PAL Wizard from the Windows Start menu and navigate directly to the Threshold File tab. Select a threshold file or combination of threshold files (they can be mixed and matched through the inheritance pane, and click the Export to Perfmon template file button.

In this case, I selected Microsoft SQL Server 2012 which already has an inheritance of System Overview and Quick System Overview which are good for all Microsoft Windows operating systems.

Introduction

The aim of this document is to provide a framework for the use of Fortran 90 in European meteorological organizations and thereby to facilitate the exchange of code between them. In order to achieve this goal we set standards for the documentation of code, both internal and external to the software itself, as well as setting standards for writing the code. The latter standards are designed to improve code readability and maintainability as well as to ensure, as far as possible, its portability and the efficient use of computer resources.
