Custom counters are Windows Operating System or SQL Server metrics that are not monitored, by default, by SQL diagnostic manager. You can export and share already created custom counters in the Idera community site through the Actions group on the Home tab.
To export a custom counter:
- Select Administration in the navigation pane.
- Select Custom Counters.
- Select the custom counter you wish to export from the list and click Export in the Actions group.
- In the Browse For Folder dialog box, indicate in which folder you want to save the custom counter XML file.
- In the "Selected custom counters exported to the selected directory" notification, click OK.
