    Thank you

     

    this fixed my Mac mini upgraded from Snow Leopard to Lion.

     

    Interesting point is, I've also got a Mac mini Lion Server out of the box. It shows stats and that very plist file has its key set to <false>

    Sorry - I made a mistake in my previous post.

    To clarify 2 Mac minis

     

    1. Mac mini Lion server out of the box; this server shows statistics, but with 'holes'

         plist: <key>Disabled</key>

                <true/>

    2. Mac mini Snow Leopard Server upgraded to Lion server. This server did not show any

    statistics. Same plist file. Change from <true> to <false> as described by @rkydd

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

    no reboot, no change to pram, relaunch Server App. Stats now show.

     

    @kokomiko suggested

         sudo defaults write /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.ServerPerfLog.plist Disabled -bool 'false'

    This should do the same as manually editing the plist file

     

    Thanks to @rkydd and @kokomiko

    in Terminal:   sudo defaults write /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.ServerPerfLog.plist Disabled -bool 'false'

    & restart server

     

     

    This worked perfectly for my Lion Server (upgraded in place from 10.6.8). Thanks!

    Thanks to all. Status functions but there is a problem now:

    I use the follow command in terminal

    sudo defaults write /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.ServerPerfLog.plist Disabled -bool 'false'

     

    After that I go with less to see that file and it was lke a binary, mayb it's corrupted.

    Can someone upload the contents af a fresh one?

    Thanks a lot!

    I find if it hangs up I just open Server Admin and then I open the Lion Server App then it works fine. I might have to do this every month or two. It is like Server Admin wakes the graphing program up...

    Works perfectly for me (Mac mini Server, upgraded from 10.6.8).

     

    Thanks a lot!
