Setting "Squeaky Lobster" performance counter settings

Author: Susan Bradley MVP

SUMMARY

In the history of Microsoft registry entries, "Squeaky Lobster" is a historical database performance counter that can be set under HKLM\system\currentcontrolset\Services\ESENT\Performance /v "Squeaky Lobster" /t REG_DWORD /d 1

RESOLUTION

  1. Open Registry Editor.
  2. Navigate to HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\ESE\Performance.
  3. Right-click Performance and select New | DWORD Value.
  4. Name the new DWORD value Show Advanced Counters.
  5. Double-click Show Advanced Counters.
  6. In the Value data field, enter 1.
  7. Close the registry editor.
However, one can replace the "Show Advanced Counters" with the work "Squeaky Lobster" and the registry setting will work.

Community Feedback System

Very often, it takes hours to solve a problem. Very often, you've looked high and low, and have tried a lot of solutions. When you finally found it, chances are, it was because someone else helped you. Here's your chance to give back. Use our community feedback tool to let others know what worked for you and what didn't.

Please also understand that the community feedback system is not warranted to be correct, it's simply a system that we've built to let people try and help each other. If something in a feedback response doesn't make sense to you, or you're not comfortable making changes that the feedback talks about (like registry edits), please consult a professional.

Thank you for using kbAlertz.com Feedback System.
