Running a Scheduled Task to do this is a bit tricky. Make sure that you specify a Working Directory in the Scheduled Task to be the installation folder of PAL. That might do the trick.
Thank you,

Hello Everyone, from the "Queue" tab in the PAL wizard I am able to manually execute that code to generate the HTML report. However, no matter what I have tried to setup a scheduled task to auto generate this report, the job fails. help! is this possible? I would like to setup a scheduled tasks to run nightly to automatically crunch the data from perfmon and auto create a HTML report in a directory I have shared.

Thank you for the quick response, Clint. I tried setting the working directory in the scheduled task to be the installation folder of PAL, but no joy. When the scheduled job kicks off, I can see a cmd process and a powershell process appear in task manager for a minute or so but it disappears. The scheduled task is set to kick off a batch file which contains the following: Powershell -ExecutionPolicy ByPass -NoProfile -File "c:\program files\pal\pal\PAL.ps1" -Log "E:\PhilTest\Perfmon\OITPHSAPPV4CECS_PAL_System_Overview2019September03.blg" -ThresholdFile "C:\program files\pal\pal\pal-v4cecs.xml" -Interval "AUTO" -IsOutputHtml $True -HtmlOutputFileName "[LogFileName]_PALANALYSIS[DateTimeStamp].htm" -IsOutputXml $False -XmlOutputFileName "[LogFileName]_PALANALYSIS[DateTimeStamp].xml" -OutputDir "E:\PhilTest\Perfmon\PerformanceMonitorReports" -AllCounterStats $True -NumberOfThreads 2 -IsLowPriority $True -OS "Windows Server 2012 R2" -PhysicalMemory "16" -RAID1Drives "NULL" -RAID5Drives "NULL" -UserVa "2048"
I will see the HTML file and the subdirectory created, but the HTML file is 0 bytes and there are no contents in the subdirectory that is created by the task. What's interesting is if I kicked off the batch file from a command prompt manually, it works just fine and produces the HTML report etc.
When in doubt, procmon.

Check the log file at %temp%\PAL.log to see if it shows an error. It sounds like it is running, but hitting some kind of error.
Also, try starting with the sample I have attached. This sample isn’t to start PAL, but it is similar. It creates a Scheduled Task that runs a Powershell script. I forget why I had to use the XML file to configure the Scheduled Task, but I’m sure I had a reason. Try modifying it to see if you can get it to work with PAL.
Thank you,

thank you both for the extremely quick responses.....perhaps it's my browser, but I dont see the sample attachment you mentioned...
In the meantime I will check that log file and also kick off procmon to see what's the deal.
By the way, are there are threshold files for Windows Server 2016 and 2019 at the moment? Any further thresholds for Citrix products? Just asking in case I missed it where the PAL source files are located.
The attachment might have been blocked. Go to http://aka.ms/ClintH, then the Temp folder. I put the PowershellOnStart.zip file there.
In regards to threshold files, no updates. I’m trying to turn PAL into a retail product with updated threshold files, but I’m not sure if it will work or not.
Thank you,

thank you! I will give that a shot.
FYI, when I kicked off my batch file manually, it did not create a PAL.log file. In task manager I did see "Performance relog utility" kickoff and in C:\windows\temp it created a subdirectory which contained _FilteredPerfmonLog.csv which was about 10 MB in size and it created a file "CounterListFilter.txt" of size of 0 KB. It stopped there.
Whoops, I meant above that when I kicked off my batch file via the scheduled task, it did not create the PAL.log file, etc - everything i mentioned in the previous response. Sorry about that....
your trick worked! The XML file I see was used to create the scheduled task. I believe the reason you may have gone it this way is there may be a limit to the length of the argument you can enter via the GUI when creating a scheduled task. Anyhow...I exported my current scheduled task that was not working right. I then modified the executable, arguments, and working directory sections of the XML file which was created from the export. I modified it to match your nomenclature in your example you sent me. I imported the XML file into Scheduled Tasks and it ran properly while creating the HTML report! Next I will schedule it and ensure it works on its own.
Assuming it does, the last part I will work on is totally automating the HTML report process by including logic that will take into account different names of the BLG files. I have one BLG file per day which is named using the month and the day of the month in its filename.
We are currently trying to find issues amongst 30+ possible servers so the more we can automate the better.
Thank you!
Hey Phil, wanted to talk to you about what you're doing real quick, if you don't mind. You've piqued my interest. Could you email me and I'll reach out, have a couple questions.

Sure...im at Phil.Zablocki@gmail.com - anyone is welcome to reach out. FYI All, to give credit where credit is due - I honestly didnt do anything new in my job's current scenario of using PAL to autoanalyze performance data into HTML reports...this is all Clint's stuff....I just applied what he told me to do.
Has anyone sent the HTML report to a UNC patch? Or are drive letters only supported?
You know, I've never tried. If the ps is running in the user context with write access to the path, I'd think it would work

I got the automated process to work.
Totally different question- is there a way to monitor RPC calls from the OS to other servers? This is not MS Exchange - we are wondering why there is occasional latency with our windows servers RPC connections to our systems that house our electronic health records (they run Linux). I could not find any windows performance counters that referenced RPC in Windows 2012r2.

That's pretty tricky to monitor without the exchange dll I think. I'll see what I can come up with though.
You could also do a filtered NetSh trace maybe

Hey where is the github you posted the automation code to? Sorry, I thought you had some scripts to handle the automation piece. LMk if I misunderstood. And, did you get it to work to a UNC path with the right permissions provided?

There is a data analyzer script in the CLUE project at http://github.com/clinthuffman/clue, but it is very crude with the analysis. I’m working on overhauling it all to be much better code.
Thank you,

Ok so I was able to automate the generation of the HTML reports from a BLG file.
We are automating the entire process of performance monitoring by doing the following:
Are there any known good sites out there that contain accurate thresholds to use for all the many many many windows performance counters? While the PAL has many and are very useful....always wondered what to do when wanting to monitor using the many other counters available.
Dirty secret, a lot of those don't have thresholds
some are left over from nt 3.5.1 and mean nothing.

Hello Everyone, from the "Queue" tab in the PAL wizard I am able to manually execute that code to generate the HTML report. However, no matter what I have tried to setup a scheduled task to auto generate this report, the job fails. help! is this possible? I would like to setup a scheduled tasks to run nightly to automatically crunch the data from perfmon and auto create a HTML report in a directory I have shared.
