In SQL Server 2005 it is possible to correlate System Monitor Data with SQL Server Profiler Traces. But how does it works?

I do the following:
- I start a trace for lets say 10 minutes
- In the trace I include the StartTime and EndTime columns
- I stop the trace

Normally I should open 'File\Import Performance data' but this is grayed out. What am I doing wrong?

I also tried to run a Counter Log together with my trace but this also didn't work for me.

Thanks.

Did you save trace to anywhere? Used default template?

I saved the trace to a file and also enabled file rollover.
And I used the Tuning template where I specified the columns and events that I wanted including Startime and EndTime.

Then you can open it by double click the file in windows explorer.

When I open the file, I can choose to import the performance data.
So it works.

I didn't know that I have to close the file and reopen it.

Thanks!!!
