Generating a private PFX certificate using openssl tools.

This configuration file does not ship with the version of openssl I pulled for some reason. Found a default openssl.cnf

  1. generate an RSA private key
  • openssl genrsa -des3 -passout pass:x -out server.pass.key 2048
  1. write out the RSA private key
  • openssl rsa -passin pass:x -in server.pass.key -out server.key
  1. create the certificate signing request (CSR) for the server or common name;
  • openssl req -new -key server.key -out server.csr -config openssl.cnf -subj "/C=US/ST=TX/L=Allen/O=WatchGuard Video/CN=localhost"
  1. generate the x509 certificate from the request (this certificate will work in Root, but not WebHosting because no private key yet); this is normally handled by certificate CA
  • openssl x509 -req -days 365 -in server.csr -signkey server.key -out server.crt

Managing Performance Counters

The attached counter set is just the ‘System Performance’ template with ‘Logical Disk’ counters added. The sample interval has been changed to 15 seconds. The counters are collected at c:\perflogs\admin\EL4. You need to be running under an account that is in the Administrator role for servers we are publishing counter sets to.

The perfmon template, el4perf.xml, is assumed to be in the current working directory.

From an administrator PowerShell command prompt:

To publish this counter set to a server:

logman import –n EL4 –xml .\el4perf.xml –s SERVERNAME
