    What actually fixed it for you.  I have reset PRAM and fixed permissions and still cannot see any stats.

    @birkhead: For me is was PRAM. You can see in the attached, nothing collected before I zapped it.

     

    Sorry to hear it didn't fix it for you. That is annoying.

    I had the same problem and have found a solution that works for me (Lion server, MacMini, upgraded in place from Leopard Server).

     

    In terminal,

    Check /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/ServerPerfLog.plist

    in my case the key Disabled was set to true.

    Change to false, then reload using

    sudo launchctl load -w /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/ServerPerfLog.plist

     

    restart Server App or reconnect it to your server and (in my case anyway) stats now appear.

    I would like to do that, but not sure of the permissions issues.

     

    I am logged in as an administrator.

     

    Do I need root access? The file is locked when I try to use text edit.

     

    Any help appreciated

    I tried using Night Production Pref Setter, and it saw the key I needed to change, but it would not save the change. It is a permission and/or lock issue

    I don't have the file ServerPerfLog.plist in that location.

     

    I am having same issue as others.  I did an updgrade and clean install both with issues.  Restarting the server app sometimes works, as well as zapping PRAM.

     

    Funny, I have the "Server Status" widget, and it displays all the info correctly.  Mine just has times where it toally cuts out:

    For me this work, but the actual name of the file is com.apple.ServerPerfLog.plist.

     

    Thanks!

    I'm having trouble editing the file, it is locked.

     

    Any ideas?

    you have to use the sudo command, for example:

    sudo vi /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.ServerPerfLog.plist

     

    but before have a look in the man vi ;-)

    This strategy worked for me, too - I can now see the stats (in an upgraded Mini server).

     

    To summarise the steps I took, based on the above contributions:

    1. sudo vi /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.ServerPerfLog.plist
    2. Change <key>Disabled</key> to <key>Enabled</key>
    3. Save changes and exit vi
    4. sudo launchctl load -w /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.ServerPerfLog.plist
    5. Start Server app and observe stats (allow a minute or two for them to be gathered and appear)

     

    Thanks to those who contributed.
