Running Exchange 2013, CU8 and I am noticing Event ID 1007 stating "Failed to create or start performance logs with error: System.ArgumentException: Value does not fall within the expected range."  Everything seems to be working ok, but this error appears several times per day. It is always followed by event id 4999 - which is a Watson report that seems to be related.  Any thoughts on how to troubleshoot this is greatly appreciated.

thanks,
