SQL Server Performance Counter are Missing

by Contributed | Mar 22, 2021 | Technology

This article is contributed. See the original author and article here.

If you find the SQL Server related performance counter objects are missing, you can try below steps to get it back

For example, my instance name is STD2016, and now open the command window with Administrator

1. unload the counter.  cd to the Binn folder of your instance, by default, the folder path should be

C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQLXX.INSTANCENAMEMSSQLBinn

And then run unlodctr command, if you are using the default instance, just use

unlodctr MSSQLSERVER

For me,  it is unlodctr MSSQL$STD2016, the format is MSSQL$INSTANCENAME

2. Load the counter.  Under the Binn folder you will see a file begins with “perf-MSSQL$”, the name format is

perf-MSSQL$INSTANCENAMEsqlctr.ini.

For default instance, use

lodctr perf-MSSQLSERVERsqlctr.ini

For mine, it is

lodctr perf-MSSQL$STD2016sqlctr.ini

3. Restart the remote registry key service

NET STOP “Remote Registry” & NET START “Remote Registry”

4. Close the performance counter and open it again, you will be able to see it

Azure Firewall Manager Is Now Integrated with Azure Security Center

Written in collaboration with @Yuri Diogenes (Principal PM CxE Azure Security Center Team)

Introduction

Azure Security Center is a unified infrastructure security management system that strengthens the security posture of your data centers, and provides advanced threat protection across your hybrid workloads in the cloud – whether they’re in Azure or not – as well as on premises.  Azure Firewall Manager is a security management service that provides central security policy and route management for cloud-based security perimeters.  To provide unified infrastructure and network security management to you, we have now integrated Azure Firewall Manager with the Azure Security Center.

Key Benefit

With the integration of Azure Firewall Manager with Azure Security Center, customers will now have a single pane of glass view of their infrastructure and network security.  Customers will be able to see the status of Network Security from the Azure Security Center directly.  Customers will no longer have to go into 2 different blades: in ASC for infrastructure security and in Firewall Manager for Network Security.

To learn more about this integration, visit the Azure Security Center blog – Azure Network Security Visibility and Control using ASC integration with Azure Firewall Manager

This article is contributed. See the original author and article here.

If you use workbooks or templates and  do not want to keep clicking refresh, you can now set it to auto-refresh.  Refresh frequency (interval) ranges from 5 mins to a day, just like Azure dashboard.

Here are three simple steps: 

1. Open workbook and Auto refresh is available in toolbar (default set to off) 

2. Click on Auto refresh, Choose the refresh frequency (interval) and click Apply. These intervals are same as Azure dashboard.  

3. Views will be updated at this interval
