My own performance monitor is created and can be seen in "Add counters" left pane's list in Performance Monitor, but I can't add it to line view, I've tried:
restart computer and restart Performance Monitor under Administrator priviledge
start service "Performance Counter DLL Host" ref
add current windows account to Performance Monitor Users local group ref
rebuild performance monitor and make sure my custom performance monitor is enabled ref
but I still cannot add it to the line view, while other system's own counter can
Does anyone has any clue please? Thank you in advance.
I found the answer on my own.. I realized the Event Viewer might help so I checked it, among all the add counter operations, an error appears once with the message being "Disabled performance counter data collection from the "ASP.NET_2.0.50727" service because the performance counter library for that service has generated one or more errors. The errors that forced this action have been written to the application event log. Correct the errors before enabling the performance counters for this service." so I googled this message and found this post, I followed the steps answered by "Nick Gu - MSFT" and it worked! The counter can be added now.

Situation and Problem: We are working with Citrix + Windows Terminal Server 2012 R2 and we are experiencing that a single Internet Explorer (Version 11.0.96) process can use up to 60-80% of CPU-Power. Since there are 15 user working on one Server any given time, one or two users can disturb all the others by using all the available CPU-Power.
First (insufficient) Solution: To overcome this Problem, We changed the Internet Explorer shortcut from the users startmenue (tile-design menue): We are starting the Internet Explorer just with three cores (out of 6 core) with this command:
start /Affinity 7 iexplorer.exe
Problem: If the users start the Internet Explorer from a link (out of word, Outlook or wherever), the Internet Explorer is starting again with all six cores.
Question: Is there a way to start the iexplorer.exe process (Independent from the starting point) always with less cores, or is it possible to limit the CPU-usage for a specific process..?
That's just two possibilities I'm thinking about, if you have other solutions in mind, feel free :)
Thanks and greetings Kevin
Many reasons can cause this issue, Like due to issue in a update, due to homepage, due to add on.
So you need to check one by one that what thing cause this issue.
You can try steps below and check whether CPU consumption reduced or not.
(1) On the General Tab click Tabs button and unchecked the option "Show Previews for individual tabs in the task bar".
(2) Go to the "Advanced" tab in "Internet Options" and checked "Use software rendering instead of GPU rendering".
(3) Temporarily disable all the add on and turn on them one by one and check the consumed memory every time. If if you find any add on consume high CPU then remove it from IE.
(4) Try to check whether issue caused by a faulty update.
You can also try to refer MSDN article below and if you are using that specific update then try to apply the hot fix may solve your issue.
Internet Explorer 11 consumes high memory and CPU cycles after you install update MS15-106
Problem: I created 10 AlwaysOn Availability Groups with SQL Server without a problem. Suddenly, it stopped worked and I kept getting this ONLY on the "create the listener" part:
Msg 19471, Level 16, State 0, Line 9
The WSFC cluster could not bring the Network Name resource with DNS name 'L_MyListener' online. The DNS name may have been taken or have a conflict with existing name services, or the WSFC cluster service may not be running or may be inaccessible. Use a different DNS name to resolve name conflicts, or check the WSFC cluster log for more information.
Sometimes I also got Msg 19476. This was all maddening because one moment I was creating listeners and availability groups, feeling like a guru, and then everything stopped and I lost hours of time.
So how do you solve this? Of course, Microsoft's own suggested text in the above error description was NOT helpful.
Apparently, each listener is really creating a mini "computer" in Active Directory if you look. And... here's the kicker, a domain user can only join a computer to a domain a limited number of times and that default is 10. Who would have thought that adding listeners equates with joining users to a domain!???! Microsoft really should have made this listener thing more intuitive, at least in their description text of possible problems.
Well, on your Domain Controller, open ADSI Edit, configure it the first time to look at your default naming context of your domain, like "DC=yourname..." with the CN= rows below that. Now, right click on the "DC=" line, choose Properties and navigate down to ms-DS-MachineAccountQuota and increase the limit from 10 to something else like 100.
You may need to run "GPUPDATE /FORCE" on the SQL Servers where you want to try again to add the listener. You may also have to clean up the mess it left (i.e. delete and restore the bad attempt at setting up your group and listener) before you try again.
With SQL Server 2016 supposedly going to require each database be in its own group, with its own listener, people will hit this limit of 10 quite easily!
I hope this helps you. If so, please mark this as the answer on the left. Of course, there are other reasons why people may get this error, as in the Microsoft error now but this whole post is for people who had it working just fine and then suddenly it stopped.
I'm writing a WLST script to deploy some WAR's and an EAR. However, intermittently, the script will time out because it can't seem to get an edit lock (this script is part of a chain of many other scripts). I was wondering, is there a way to override or stop any current locks on the server? This is only a temporary solution, but in the interest of time, it will do for now.
Thanks.
You could try setting a wait period and timeout:
startEdit([waitTimeInMillis], [timeoutInMillis], [exclusive]).
Are other scripts erroring out, leaving the session locked? You could try adding exception handling around those. Also, if you have 'Automatically acquire lock" enabled in the Admin Console and you use the admin console sometimes it can cause problems if you are running scripts at the same time, even though you are not making "lock-requiring" changes.
Also, are you using the same user for the chained scripts?
Within WLST, you can pass a number as a parameter to gain an exclusive lock. This allows the script to grab a different lock than the regular one that's used whenever an administrator locks from the console. It also prevents two instances of the same script from stepping on each other.
However, this creates complex change merge scenarios that are best avoided (by processes).
Oracle's documentation on configuration locks can be found here.
Alternatively, if you want the script to temporarily relieve any existing locks regardless of the pending changes, you may as well disable change management from the console, minimizing the inconvenience caused.
WLST also contains the cancelEdit command that you could run before you startEdit. Hope one of these options pan out!
To take the configuration change lock from another administrator:
If another administrator already has the configuration lock, the following message appears: Another user already owns the lock. You will need to either wait for the lock to be released, or take the lock.
Locate the Change Center in the upper left corner of the
Administration Console.
Click Take Lock & Edit.
Make your configuration changes.
In the Change Center, click Activate Changes. Not all changes take
effect immediately. Some require a restart (see Use the Change
Center).
As long as you're running WLST as an administrative user, you should be able to jump into an existing edit session with the edit() command - I've done a quick test with two admin users, one in the Admin Console, and one using WLST, and it appears to work fine - I can see the changes in the Admin Console session inside the WLST interpreter.
You could put a very simple exception handler around your calls to startEdit that will log the exception's stack trace, but do nothing else. And then rely on the edit call to pop you into the change session.
Relying on that is going to be tricky though if another script has started an edit session and is expecting to be able to commit that change session itself - you'll be getting exceptions and unreliable behaviour across multiple invocations.
I have a Window Forms application (using clickonce installation, running on a terminal server) that occasionaly ends up with a thread that appears to be running in a tight loop. The user doesn't know this happens as the app continues to run as expected. Also I have determined that I can kill the problem thread without any apparent affect on the app.
I can use Process Explorer to find the instance of an app with the problem and can isolate the thread with the problem but haven't found any way to look into the thread to find anything that would help me determine what is causing the problem. Does anyone know of a way to some additional information about a thread, like maybe strings, that would help me zero in on the issue?
Thanks,
Dave
Haven't tried this myself but "Process Monitor" claims it "shows real-time file system, Registry and process/thread activity"

Hope this helps.
You should be able to attach Visual Studio to the running process to get more information. Provided the .pdb files are included with the application and you have source code for the avialable version you should be able to use the Threads window combined with pausing / stepping through to see just what the code is doing.
I just executed installutil on a DLL in which custom performance counters are installed. I installed 2 categories but then realized I had an issue with the first category, so I deleted the category but before deleting I ran an asp.net app against to make sure it was working.
The issue is after deleting the category and then recreating the application is logging to the custom perfmon counter but the values never get updated.
The second custom category works fine and counter is getting populated. I can see both categories within perfmon but noticed that the first category counters never get updated when running an asp.net against it.
Has anyone run into this issue. Do I need to delete the existing instance? I'm trying to avoid a reboot of the machine.
depending on how you install the counter, (assuming transacted installation let's say...) perf counters can get "orphaned".
IMHO this is because perf counters seem to get installed in the Reg and "elsewhere" <--still trying to find out where else perf counter info gets stored.
In some cases, the regkeys get built appropriately and so register as appropriate but the OS "elsewhere" location is not properly built out. It's almost like there is a perfcounter cache somewhere. ( comments anyone?)
So in summary after installation run lodctr /R from the commandline with the appropriate perms and this "seems" to solve the issue for most installations. I would be interested to see what others say about this as the generally available documentation (i.e. MS) SUCKS beyond belief on this topic...
grrr.
