perfmon no longer working?

I'm no perfmon expert, but that error is:
0xC0000BB9 (PDH_CSTATUS_NO_COUNTER) The specified counter could not be found.

So, I'd imagine that your "Total Connection Attempts" counter isn't valid or isn't enabled. Maybe "Attempts" should be "attempts" (based on a some Googling and a little faith)?

I was chasing my tail here. Apparently nothing is being logged from this SUF any longer. I saw the lack of perfmon entries first, and that log entry and focused in on that. But no log entries from even the most basic text file are making it to the indexer. Back to the drawing board. Thanks for the help on spotting my bad perfmon entry.
