Can anyone help?

I have tried to install OLAP performance counter as listed in books
on-line and the web link:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/de...izing_976t.asp

However, no counters are showing up.

I am using NT4 SP6a with MSAS 8.0.534

Cheers

By installing - what do you mean...?

You need to go into the performance monitoring tool in windows (not AS) -
don't know the english term
and configure a monitoring session ... where you select which of the
monitoring groups + counters
you wish to examine and select how to output it. Try using text file at
first to better get a look
at the numbers.

Hi Michael

By installing I mean exactly that, installing analysis services
performance counters, as listed in books on-line and/or the web link
in my previous posting.

When I go to performance monitor the counters are listed.

I've rebooted the machine but to no avail.

My laptop broke down last night so I can't give you the exact words...but on
my operating system
it isn't enough that they are listed - you have to put them into a
monitoring session where you choose
somewhere to place the session - such as binary file, sql server etc.

The link you mention doesn't go into this - the link only tells you which
counters are available - not
how to make a monitoring process...

You can then pick which counters you want to monitor - perhaps you don't
want them all at once.

yes I understand what your saying about saving the results in a file,
but what I'm saying is that the counters are not there to begin with.
I cannot monitor Analysis Services because the counters are not there
to select. I can select other counters such as processor, network,
memory etc, but not A.S counters.

The link I gave explains how to install the counters by amending the
registry and running the LODCTR msmdctr.ini command. The link also
shows the couters that should be available once the command is run,
but this is not working for me.

Sounds mysterious....perhaps a platform / userrights problem - I had no
problem locating the counters on my laptop (xp prof).

I actually didn't need the link specified - the counters where installed on
my machine to begin with....could it be sql server version trouble ?

Have developers ... do you use standard edition ? Don't know if there is a
limitation here...

there could be a platform limitation, I am using NT4 - eek!

I'll try it on my laptop as I have XP, failing that I'll find a 2000 server
to try it on

thanks for your thoughts.

good grief! How come that never showed up in my searches?

I am on SP2 for AS and unfortunaltely cannot upgrade it as there is a system
freeze on our servers.

Thanks for the link
