Executing the query “{call [core].[sp_create_snapshot](?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?…” failed with the following error: “The specified @collector_type_uid (14AF3C12-38E6-4155-BD29-F33E7966BA23) is not valid in this data warehouse.”. Possible failure reasons: Problems with the query, “ResultSet” property not set correctly, parameters not set correctly, or connection not established correctly.

if we look sp_create_snapshot procedure in Management_dataware_house  it accepts six parameters  @collection_set_uid   ,@collector_type_uid   ,@machine_name  , @named_instance  ,  @log_id   ,  @snapshot_id

this procedure creates a snapshot in the management datawarehouse for a collection instance one parameter is Collecter_type_id

Note: Sql Server Data collector can collect data from Dynamic management views , SQL trace and Windows performance counters using TSQL and WMI query’s

We can get list of availanle data collector types by querying
