Sql-server – Check the data latency between two Always On Availability Group servers in ASYNC mode

availability-groupssql server

I have implemented Always on Availability Group in asynchronous mode between two servers primary and secondary.

When i tried to check the data latency between the servers in performance monitor using performance counters like MS SQL :availability replica,MS SQL:database replica and MS SQL:databases ,I'm not able to see any results in the graph.

But the graph is showing results for other performance counters.I've tried to get the data latency using DMV sys.dm_hadr_database_replica_states.

Can any one tell me what is the issue ?

How can I check the data latency between the two servers in performance monitor using graphs
as shown in the msdn article ?

I used this script in a custom report once.
