Starting a PM counter log automatically.

Hi.

I've set up a configuration with a set of counters on PM,
and scheduled it to run at a specified time, stop the log
every 1 day, and start a new one.

What I need is to have this counters monitored
permanently. So this works fine until I reboot. When I do
so, the counter's configuration doesn't start
automatically.

Is there a way to have it started every time the
Performance service starts ??

Thanks in advance for any help.
 
Hi Ricardo,

You cannot configure the log to automatically restart if the log is configured to
stop manually. So you will need to:

- Run perfmon.msc
- Double-click your log file
- Select the Schedule tab
- In the "Stop log" section choose any option except "Manually (using the shortcut
menu)". Note: If the "When the log file is full" option is grayed out and you would
like to use this option, begin by selecting the "Log Files" tab and in the "Log file
size" section select "Limit of:" and type in the file size desired (in kilobytes for
counter logs or in megabytes for trace logs).
- On the "Schedule" tab, in the "When a log file closes:" section select "Start a new
log file"

For more information search Performance Logs and Alerts Help for the topic titled:
"To define start or stop parameters for a log or alert".
