I'm trying to update a data collector set to log specific performance counters to ODBC (SQLServer), however the "Data source name" dropdown is greyed.

I have configured an ODBC System data source (from both 32 and 64 bit ODBC).

    Seemed to be pretty easy for this guy: http://blog.datacenterfromhell.net/2013/06/collecting-microsoft-performance.html What is he doing differently than you? – Ryan Ries Aug 08 '13 at 12:12
  • I didn't have this problem when I set it up on Windows Server 2008. – Andy Joiner Aug 08 '13 at 22:01

  • The log format must be set to SQL, not Binary
  • The ODBC data source must be a 64-bit System DSN (32-bit DSNs does not appear in list)

Thanks to Ryan - the detail was in the blog post.
