WMI-related issue

Problem: WMI support is affected by the firewall

Workaround: For Windows versions prior to Windows 2008/Vista, use the following steps:

Use the RPCCfg.exe (Windows Resource Kits) by running: rpccfg.exe -pe 5009-5009 -d 0
Manually add the registry keys under: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Rpc\Internet

For Windows Vista® and Windows Server 2008:

According to Microsoft® http://support.microsoft.com/kb/929851, the default dynamic port range for TCP/IP has changed in these versions. The new default start port is 49152 and end port is 65535.

Subsequently, monitoring instances that run under these operation systems can be carried out by using either of the following options:

Third Party Limitations

Monitoring an SQL Server instance that resides on a Windows 2008R2 or higher requires a workaround as follows:

n/a

Some base values are not updated when using the Win32_PerfRawData_PerfDisk_LogicalDisk WMI class to calculate performance data in Windows Vista or in Windows Server 2008, because this class does not contain the PercentDiskTime_Base metric.

Workaround: A hotfix is available on Microsoft site, https://support.microsoft.com/kb/961435/en-us.

n/a

Due to a known Microsoft issue, on SQL Server instances version 2014 the SQL text presented may be truncated.

n/a

SQL's and execution plans may not be collected on SQL Server 2014 as a result of a Microsoft bug: “The values of column query_hash and query_plan_hash are NULL for DMV sys.dm_exec_requests in SQL Server 2014"

n/a

The Foglight Time Bar Chart click event does not work with Chrome version 40.x.x.x and 39.x.x.x. Refer to https://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=428308 for more information.

n/a

The Windows System Center Endpoint Protection (SCEP) tool and Anti-Virus Protection tools installed on Windows® may negatively impact CPU and system performance of machines running Foglight, Foglight Agent Manager, and the SQL PI repository.

To reduce resource consumption it is highly recommended that you exclude the following directory from being scanned by the protection tools:

Anti-virus software may negatively impact the CPU and system performance of machines running Foglight. To reduce resource consumption, it is highly recommended to exclude the relevant directory, processes, and executables from being scanned by the anti-virus software. For detailed information, refer to the “Configuring anti-virus exclusion settings” in Installing Foglight on Windows with an Embedded PostgreSQL Database.

In some cases, running the command: %windir%\system32\wbem\wmiadap.exe /f in Windows' command-line (CMD) may solve the problem of missing WMI classes. This command parses all the performance libraries on the system and refreshes the Performance Counter Classes. For further details, see http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa394528%28VS.85%29.aspx.
