Hi, I am setting up some perfmon monitors for >.NET Data Provider for SqlServer>NumberOfActiveConnectionPools>*names of multi instance app pools*
I am having two issues. I would think that maybe if the first was resolved the second would no longer be a problem
1) This this is a multi instance counter and the server lists "<All instances>" as my option to gather data for all. But when I put <All instances> into the Instance field of the monitor template I get an error that the instance does not match. My question is if there is a wildcard or something I can enter into the apm template instance field that would by default pick up all instances? I really need to be able to gather all instances since the name of the application pool changes each time it starts up which is daily and I cannot modify the monitor each time.
2) I am able to set up counters for NumberOfActiveConnections but not for NumberOfActiveConnectionPools. When I set up the monitor and test it, it tests fine but after I apply the monitor to a server it never goes green. It stays grey and says "initial poll in progress" for 2 hours until I cancel. I tried this twice with the same results on 2 separate servers.
Server environment is I am monitoring is: Windows 2008 Server Hardware: x86 Family 6 Model 44 Stepping 2 AT/AT COMPATIBLE - Software: Windows Version 6.0 (Build 6001 Multiprocessor Free)
Solarwinds version is: SolarWinds Orion Core 2010.2.1, APM 3.5, NPM 10.1.1, NTA 3.6, IVIM 1.0.0 © 1995-2010 All Rights Reserved
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
