Foglight for SQL Server Toolbar and Views

The Foglight for SQL Server toolbar provides access to detailed views you can access using the toolbar.

Breakdown and Baseline Chart Formats

Several charts can display information in either of the following formats:

•
Baseline format — where a selected individual metric is displayed as a single line.
•
Breakdown format — a representation of actual activity of a metric or a set of metrics, compared with the typical behavior of these metrics for the selected time range. A breakdown display can also present a single metric divided by various components (for example, space utilization divided by the various components that occupy this space).

Overview Dashboard

The upper section of the dashboard includes general information on the monitored instance:

•
SQL server version
•
Host. For clustered host, the active host is displayed.
•
OS Version
•
Instance Collation

Each tile is constructed of a title that state the name of the monitored issue and an aggregation of the alarms relevant to that issue.

The tiles are organized by priority:

•
Availability — show information and alarms about the availability of the instance. Also includes the monitoring state for that instance.
•
HA/DR — High Availability (HA) and Disaster Recovery (DR) state of the instance. Displays the state of the resources used for availability. For example, Always On, Cluster, Replication, Mirroring, Log Shipping.
* 
NOTE: Only the three resources would directly be displayed, according to the importance. The state of backup’s alarms is also displayed.
•
Storage — the space utilization level for all Data and Log file groups.
•
Infrastructure — general information collected from the server:
•
CPU — the SQL Service CPU level of utilization in compare to the general utilization of the SQL Service.
•
Memory — the amount of memory the SQL Service uses compared to other processes and the total memory on the server.
•
Disk I/O — Displays the utilization of the busiest disk on the monitored server.
•
Virtual Overhead — Shows (only if the virtual machine is monitored) the overhead (In CPU) of the server on the hosting machine.
•
Operational — displays:
•
Alarms on failed jobs.
•
Alarms for jobs that have exceeded their average duration.
•
Alarms on the error log.
•
Alarms related to other issues. For example, agent log, CLR and more, are only displayed at the top of the tile.
•
Performance — summarizes general information collected from the SQL Performance dashboard. The pie chart displays the average workload divided by resources over time. The graphs display the total workload trend over time.
The Instance Performance tile also displays the following issues:
•
Throughput issues — for example, average batches, logons and transactions per second.
•
Current sessions state — for example, Active, Inactive and Blocked.

The right panel is used to display either alarms or Top 10 SQLs:

•
Alarms
•
Display all active alarms for the underlined instance.
•
Enable sorting by creation time or severity.
•
Top 10 SQLs displays the 10 SQLs with the longest duration.
