Rectify the incorrect registration issue:
1. Run “Regedit.exe”. This will require administrator level access Ensure you have made a backup of the Registry!
2. Navigate to the following key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\TIBCO Nimbus\Performance
3. The “Library” entry is pointing to the “system32” folder where 64 bit executable files are placed
(for historic compatibility). However the TIBCO Nimbus performance counter (cectrs.dll) is installed
to the correct folder for a 32 bit DLL namely “C:\Windows\SysWOW64”
Therefore the entry needs to be updated by replacing the “system32” part with “SysWoW64” to
become “C:\Windows\SysWOW64\cesctrs.dll”. Note the path parts are not case sensitive
Enable the support in Windows 2008 R2 and later for 32 bit counters:
1. Open the services manager by running “services.msc”
2. Scroll down to two entries for “Performance Counter DLL host” and “Performance Logs & Alerts”
3. By default these two services are manual start, but need to be changed to “Automatic” start
Once both of the steps above have been completed and the services started then Performance Monitor
data collector sets should work as expected once restarted.
