Data Warehouse Event Data Collection Event State

Microsoft.SystemCenter.DataWarehouse.ManagementServer.EventDataCollectionSpeedState (UnitMonitor)

Data Warehouse event data collection event state for a Management Server

Knowledge Base article:

Summary

The Data Warehouse Event Data Collection Event State process running on the Management Server has posted data, but has not received an acknowledgement within 3 minutes that the data was written to the Data Warehouse. This indicates a connectivity or performance issue with Data Warehouse writes. This monitor will alert if no acknowledgement was received within 3 minutes, and will go back to green when there have been no issues for 5 minutes. Note that both these parameters are overrideable.

Causes

This is most commonly caused by connectivity issues to the SQL Server hosting the Data Warehouse, or that SQL Server performance is slow.

Resolutions

Ensure that there is connectivity from the Management Server to the SQL Server hosting the Data Warehouse. Communication could be blocked by a firewall for example. Ensure that the Data Warehouse Action Account is able to connect to the Data Warehouse database. If you are experiencing time-out issues, examine the utilization of the SQL server to determine if it’s being overloaded. Important counters to look at are: CPU utilization, memory utilization and Disk I/O.
