    <p>I am working on an example from Microsoft that shows how to use autoscaling (<a href="http://www.windowsazure.com/en-us/develop/net/how-to-guides/autoscaling/" rel="nofollow">http://www.windowsazure.com/en-us/develop/net/how-to-guides/autoscaling/</a>). The worker role installed on the cloud generates a performance counter and locally, a console application reads this counter and applies autoscaling.</p> <p>Everything looks fine, the performance counter is available from WADPerformanceCountersTable and the console application accesses correctly to the storage but it cannot find the worker role inside WADPerformanceCountersTable. This is the generated exception:</p> <pre><code>Autoscaling General Error: 2001 : Microsoft.Practices.EnterpriseLibrary.WindowsAzure.Autoscaling.DataPointsCollection.DataPointsCollectionException: Could not retrieve performance counter with name '\Processor(_Total)\% Processor Time' for target 'WorkerRoleExample' from the WADPerformanceCountersTable table. ---&gt; System.ArgumentOutOfRangeException: Could not retrieve the role with alias 'WorkerRoleExample' from the service information store. Please review the service information store to fix this. </code></pre> <p>Configuration files of Autoscaling Application Block (both files are part of a console application):</p> <p>rules.xml:</p> <pre><code>&lt;?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?&gt; &lt;rules xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/practices/2011/entlib/autoscaling/rules"&gt; &lt;constraintRules&gt; &lt;rule name="default" enabled="true" rank="1" description="The default constraint rule"&gt; &lt;actions&gt; &lt;range min="1" max="2" target="WorkerRoleExample"/&gt; &lt;/actions&gt; &lt;/rule&gt; &lt;/constraintRules&gt; &lt;reactiveRules&gt; &lt;rule name="ScaleUpOnHighUtilization" rank="10" description="Scale up the web role" enabled="true" &gt; &lt;when&gt; &lt;any&gt; &lt;greaterOrEqual operand="WebRoleA_CPU_Avg_5m" than="60"/&gt; &lt;/any&gt; &lt;/when&gt; &lt;actions&gt; &lt;scale target="WorkerRoleExample" by="1"/&gt; &lt;/actions&gt; &lt;/rule&gt; &lt;rule name="ScaleDownOnLowUtilization" rank="10" description="Scale up the web role" enabled="true" &gt; &lt;when&gt; &lt;all&gt; &lt;less operand="WebRoleA_CPU_Avg_5m" than="60"/&gt; &lt;/all&gt; &lt;/when&gt; &lt;actions&gt; &lt;scale target="WorkerRoleExample" by="-1"/&gt; &lt;/actions&gt; &lt;/rule&gt; &lt;/reactiveRules&gt; &lt;operands&gt; &lt;performanceCounter alias="WebRoleA_CPU_Avg_5m" performanceCounterName="\Processor(_Total)\% Processor Time" source ="WorkerRoleExample" timespan="00:05:00" aggregate="Average"/&gt; &lt;/operands&gt; &lt;/rules&gt; </code></pre> <p>services.xml:</p> <pre><code>&lt;?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?&gt; &lt;serviceModel xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/practices/2011/entlib/autoscaling/serviceModel"&gt; &lt;subscriptions&gt; &lt;subscription name="TestingWorkerRole" certificateThumbprint="**************" subscriptionId="**************" certificateStoreLocation="CurrentUser" certificateStoreName="My"&gt; &lt;services&gt; &lt;service dnsPrefix="**************" slot="Staging"&gt; &lt;roles&gt; &lt;role alias="AutoscalingApplicationRole" roleName="WorkerRoleExample" wadStorageAccountName="targetstorage"/&gt; &lt;/roles&gt; &lt;/service&gt; &lt;/services&gt; &lt;storageAccounts&gt; &lt;storageAccount alias="targetstorage" connectionString="DefaultEndpointsProtocol=https;AccountName=*****;AccountKey=*******"&gt; &lt;/storageAccount&gt; &lt;/storageAccounts&gt; &lt;/subscription&gt; &lt;/subscriptions&gt; &lt;/serviceModel&gt; </code></pre> <p>Worker role running on the cloud generates a performance counter:</p> <pre><code>public override bool OnStart() { // Set the maximum number of concurrent connections ServicePointManager.DefaultConnectionLimit = 12; CreatePerformanceCounters(); return base.OnStart(); } private static void CreatePerformanceCounters() { DiagnosticMonitorConfiguration diagConfig = DiagnosticMonitor.GetDefaultInitialConfiguration(); var procTimeConfig = new PerformanceCounterConfiguration(); procTimeConfig.CounterSpecifier = @"\Processor(_Total)\% Processor Time"; procTimeConfig.SampleRate = TimeSpan.FromSeconds(10); diagConfig.PerformanceCounters.DataSources.Add(procTimeConfig); diagConfig.PerformanceCounters.ScheduledTransferPeriod = TimeSpan.FromMinutes(1); DiagnosticMonitor.Start("Microsoft.WindowsAzure.Plugins.Diagnostics.ConnectionString", diagConfig); } </code></pre>

    1. COCan you include the rest of your config files? Where is `WorkerRoleExample` defined?

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.

SQuiL has stopped working due to an internal error.

If you are curious you may find further information in the browser console, which is accessible through the devtools (F12).
