Posting SDK-inserted Performance Counters to Data Warehouse

 Hi,

We have an MP that used SDK to insert performance counters and we need also to publish some of these counters into DW, specifically the counters associated with a specific class - lets say "MyClass".
We tried defining the following rule:
 
      <Rule ID="myWritePerformanceDataToDW" 
            Comment="this rule writes my performance data to DW" 
            Enabled="true" 
            Target="MyClass" 
            ConfirmDelivery="true" 
            Remotable="true" 
            Priority="Normal" 
            DiscardLevel="100">
        <Category>PerformanceCollection</Category>
        <DataSources>
          <DataSource ID="DataSource" TypeID="SC!Microsoft.SystemCenter.TargetEntitySdkPerformanceDataProvider" />
        </DataSources>
        <WriteActions>
          <WriteAction ID="WriteToDW" TypeID="SCDW!Microsoft.SystemCenter.DataWarehouse.PublishPerformanceData"/>
        </WriteActions>
      </Rule>
 
but it seems to have no effect (no errors either).
Can someone  shed light on this? what we are doing wrong?
 
Thanks

If the insert into the warehouse failed or if the workflow failed for some other reason, you should definitely see an warning event. Since the data in the warehouse is only aggregated every hour, you would also have to wait an hour before data would appear in reports.

You could also write out an event to the Operations Manager Event Log with the contents of workflow (the propertybag) so you can see the contents as well
