SQL Server 2008 Data Collection..
Apr 25th
Setup steps involved in code and pictures:
1) Create a SQL login account to use for this.
USE [master]
GO
CREATE LOGIN [dwlogin] WITH PASSWORD=N’xxxxxx’,
DEFAULT_DATABASE=[master],
CHECK_EXPIRATION=OFF, CHECK_POLICY=OFF
GO
2)
- right click on data collection under your database instance/management group
- select configure management data warehouse
- next
- create a management data warehouse
- click on new
- enter a name for the data collection database, accept defauly options
- next
- select dwlogin, nt authority\system, nt service\sqlserveragent and assign role mdw_admin
- next
- finish
right click on data collection, configure management data warehouse, setup data collection
click next, then click finish
You will notice under sql agent -> jobs – that some Data collection related jobs eg collectionset_3_upload have been created for you.
You can access reports by going to:
Datacollection -> reports -> management data warehouse ->
- server activity history
- disk usage summary
- query statistics history
SQL Server 2008 R2 adds a new option for bringing Microsoft Server virtualization concepts to database servers – its called Utility information. Click here for a demo video explaining this.
Management -> Data collection -> Start data collection set – gives the below error. I’ll update this blog on resolving this.

Solution above essentially worked for me, l changed my retries to 4 from 2 and re-ran the job. It ran okay. Still investigating this in depth.
