Message: An attempt to start sample loop event ... for sampling id ... failed because event ... was already running for that sampling id.

Explanation:

This is an unexpected error, possibly caused by an internal error in Foxhound.

Please report this error; see How do I report unexpected errors and exceptions?

If possible, include the diagnostic message and associated dump; here is an example:

1. Use the Foxhound Options - 8. Diagnostics - Display Diagnostics button to find the exception id, 477 in this case:

 477 - 2012-07-26 06:56:37.407 Full Build 4173a 1000001557 203a3d3(203eh1) An attempt to start sample loop event 1000001557 for sampling id 4 failed because event 1000000020 was already running for that sampling id. [4-Foxhound_on_old_Dell_XP]

2. Run adhoc queries to see the diagnostic message and the associated dump (see How do I run adhoc queries on the Foxhound database?):

SELECT * FROM exception_diagnostic WHERE exception_id = 477;
SELECT * FROM exception_dump       WHERE exception_id = 477;

SELECT * FROM exception_dump WHERE exception_id = 477;

3. Run adhoc queries to copy the diagnostic message and associate dump to a single text file:

UNLOAD SELECT * FROM exception_diagnostic WHERE exception_id = 477 TO 'c:/temp/foxhound_exception.txt';
UNLOAD SELECT * FROM exception_dump       WHERE exception_id = 477 TO 'c:/temp/foxhound_exception.txt' APPEND ON;
