Hi,
This is my first post on this list, so I would like to say hello ☺
I have several performance counters that I want to install. All of them should
go to the same category. I did some research over the web and found the
following threads:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3856680/how-do-i-create-performance-counters-for-a-net-application-with-a-wix-based-ins
http://www.mail-archive.com/wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net/msg34128.html
http://masstransit-project.com/documentation/performance-counters
which recommends using PerformanceCategory/PerformanceCounters tags. So I read
the documentation, found an example in the source
(wix35-sources\examples\test\perfcounter) and try to implement something
similar.
I wrote something similar to:
<util:PerformanceCategory Id="Id" Name="Category
Name" Help="Description" MultiInstance="yes">
<util:PerformanceCounter Name="% performance counter
1" Type="rawFraction" />
<util:PerformanceCounter Name="PerformanceCounter2" Type="rawBase" />
<util:PerformanceCounter Name="# performance counter
3" Type="numberOfItems64" />
</util:PerformanceCategory>
After installation, I opened Performance Monitor and then wanted to add new
counters. The "Category Name" was created successfully in Available counters,
but unfortunately it has only the counters that name starts with "%" and "#"
(so the second from above is missing - why?). When I chose the existing one,
moved it to Added counters and press OK, the changes are not applied (no data
is gathered). Fields Parent and Instance are blank.
I tried to install also the example from wix source, but the installation
finishes with "Failed to install performance counters (-2147024894)"; there is
also nothing interesting in log.
It is also unclear to me how the mapping works; is that the name from
PerformanceCounter matches the name under which performance counter is
registered, or there is different rule? I have some doubts now, because of the
problems above. Documentation is very limited at this point.
I am using WiX 3.5.
Thank you in advance,
Marcin
