Overview Dashboard

Identifying the Instance

The Instance identification indicators allow you to identify the currently monitored instance, its type and its operation period.

These indicators are as follows:

Up Sinceidentifies the date and time when the instance was last started.

Tracking the Instance Data Flow

The following components represent the data flow in the SQL Server operation, from the session to the physical disk storage:

Monitoring General Session Statistics

The Sessions pane monitors all session types, that is, system, user and SQL Server Agent sessions. Using this pane allows viewing the response time compared with the number of sessions and the instance’s level of activity. A high response time value may result from a long queue, that is, an overly high percentage of active users.

Long queues can indicate one of the following issues:

The Sessions pane displays the total number of sessions, distributed according to the following distinctions:

The parameters in this pane lead to the SQL Activity > Sessions panel. For details, see Reviewing the SQL Server Instance Activity and Reviewing Session Details , respectively, in Reviewing the Instance Activity .

The client applications represented graphically in the Sessions pane communicate with the SQL Server by sending and receiving network packets and by submitting SQL statements for execution by SQL Server. The flows, detailed in the following table, help indicate performance issues if their values are too low.

The rate at which batches of SQL statements are being submitted to SQL Server for execution.

The rate at which the SQL Server receives network packets from client applications.

When this icon is yellow, clicking it displays text that describes theBlocking Alarm on page 167 deviations that triggered this display, along with a representation of the rate at which SQL Server is encountering network packet errors.

The rate at which network packets are being sent from SQL Server to client applications.

When this icon’s color is yellow, clicking it displays text that describes the deviations that triggered this display, along with a graphic representation of the rate at which SQL Server is encountering network packet errors.

The Process Activity pane allows monitoring the processes, both system and user sessions, run by the SQL Server. This pane also features other performance indicators, such as total number of lock requests per second and CPU usage, and allows accessing the error log.

Table 16. The Process Activity pane displays the following parameters:

The total number of SQL Server processes, including both user and system processes.

Number of processes that are waiting for another process to release a resource that the process is currently locking. Blocked processes can sometimes lead to bottlenecks.

The Blocked Process indicator changes its color when one or more processes become blocked.

For details, see Blocking Alarm on page 167 and Deadlocks Alarm on page 167.

The average number of active transactions for each database of the monitored instance.

The SQL Server and SQL Agent error logs.

When scanning is enabled, Foglight for SQL Server scans the SQL Server logs and raises alarms upon finding error messages that contain any of the error log alert rules. These rules can be specified for all connections, or for the current connection, using the Log Scanning view in the Databases Administration dashboard. For details, see Defining Error Log Filtering on page 157.

Hovering over this icon displays the number of errors that were recorded in the SQL Server error log during the selected time range (by default, last 60 minutes).

For details about the error log alarms, see Error Log Alarm on page 169.

For further details, see Reviewing the SQL Server Instance Activity .

To communicate with the SQL memory, the SQL processes use logical reads and compiles, graphically represented as flows in the homepage.
