Performance Analysis of Logs (PAL) is a great tool to analyze performance counters. Recently while using PAL to analyze BizTalk Server performance counters, I encountered 2 issues:
1. Perfmon Template file could not be imported in the Data Collector Set in the Performance Monitor.
At first, we thought that it was caused by a group policy (GPO). In the end, it required to start the Windows Task Scheduler Windows service in order to be able to import the template file.
2. The analysis of performance logs with PAL stopped immediately with some red error messages in the PowerShell console
This is a "bug" in the PAL tool which at the same of writing this blog, did not support the French-FR locale. After switching to the English-US in the regional settings, performance logs were successfully analyzed.
