    <p>I am trying to measure processor load on my Azure project and when running the emulator I get errors in the Emulator console like this one:</p> <pre><code>[MonAgentHost] Error: MA EVENT: 2012-10-10T12:15:06.982Z [MonAgentHost] Error: 2 [MonAgentHost] Error: 9028 [MonAgentHost] Error: 8168 [MonAgentHost] Error: SysCounterListener.dll [MonAgentHost] Error: 0 [MonAgentHost] Error: b9eb57e3-62d5-49a5-b395-abc3bd5 [MonAgentHost] Error: liscounter.cpp [MonAgentHost] Error: SystemCounter::AddCounter [MonAgentHost] Error: 660 [MonAgentHost] Error: ffffffffc0000bb9 [MonAgentHost] Error: 0 [MonAgentHost] Error: [MonAgentHost] Error: PdhAddCounter(\Processor(_Total)\% Processor Time) failed </code></pre> <p>I have tried creating a new simple console project (not Azure). Here I am able to read the performance metrics so this suggestion <a href="http://www.infosysblogs.com/microsoft/2011/06/mystery_of_the_windows_azure_d.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.infosysblogs.com/microsoft/2011/06/mystery_of_the_windows_azure_d.html</a> doesn't seem to be the solution. </p> <p>I setup the performance counters in OnStart of the RoleEntryPoint like so:</p> <pre><code>public class WebRole : RoleEntryPoint { public override bool OnStart() { try { DiagnosticMonitorConfiguration config = DiagnosticMonitor.GetDefaultInitialConfiguration(); var counters = new List&lt;string&gt; { @"\Processor(_Total)\% Processor Time" }; if (counters.Count() &gt; 0) { config.PerformanceCounters.ScheduledTransferPeriod = TimeSpan.FromMinutes(5); config.PerformanceCounters.BufferQuotaInMB = 10; counters.ForEach(counter =&gt; config.PerformanceCounters.DataSources.Add( new PerformanceCounterConfiguration() { CounterSpecifier = counter, SampleRate = TimeSpan.FromSeconds(10) }) ); } DiagnosticMonitor.Start( "Microsoft.WindowsAzure.Plugins.Diagnostics.ConnectionString", config); } catch (Exception e) { Trace.TraceError("Exception during WebRole1.OnStart: " + e.ToString()); } return base.OnStart(); } } </code></pre> <p>I have tried setting up IIS-logging which works just fine. So does tracing. Just not performance counters...</p> <p>I am on Windows 7 Home Premium with Visual Studio 2010 SP1 and Azure SDK 1.7 installed (it didn't work on SDK 1.3 eighter).</p> <p>Anyone know what I am missing in my installation?</p>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
