Rules Collections and Metrics

Filtering the Display by Severity

The Status Indicators section can be used for filtering the Databases Group table to display only instances that meet a criterion set in this section.

To filter the display by severity:
1
Click a specific type of severity within a specific database type (for example, SQL Server instances whose severity level is Fatal).
The selected filter is shown in the table title.
2
To select another filter, click the required status indicator (for example, SQL Server > Normal severity). To display the entire list of databases, click Clear filters.

Creating Custom Database Groups

While all existing and newly discovered instances are added to the All list, the Databases area of the navigation pane allows creating, editing, and removing sub-groups of database instances, by that means serving as a filter that allows displaying only a specific, user-defined group of instances.

The Databases area includes the following components, which can be selected from a drop-down list:

•
Database Groups — includes by default the All list, and the Database Groups list, which serves as the parent group for creating user-defined sub-groups of database instances. Such sub-groups are recognized as Foglight services.
The Database Groups section also displays the highest severity level of the database groups, under the column Sev.
•
Services — displays the configured services, which contain at least one object (database topology) that y Foglight for SQL Server uses.
All the Foglight for SQL Server sub-groups, which were created using the Database Groups section, are displayed also under Services. In addition, Services displays groupings of monitored resources that were created using the Service Builder dashboard, and contain Foglight for SQL Server database topology.
The Services section also contains the column SLC (Service Level Compliance), which indicates the current availability of the selected service over a given period.
For details about the Service Builder dashboard, see the Foglight Online Help.
To create a database group:
1
Select the parent database instance group, Database Groups, under Databases in the navigation pane.
2
Click the button.
The Add Sub Group dialog box appears.
3
Type a name for the group in the Name field.
4
Type a description for the group (optional).
5
Select an instance in the Available column, and click [>] to move the instance to the Selected column.
Alternatively, click [>>] to move all the databases to the Selected column.
6
Click OK.
The sub-group name appears in the Database Groups list.
The database instances are listed in the Databases dashboard.

After adding one or more user-defined sub-groups, it is possible to add sub-groups to these sub-groups.

 
To remove a database sub-group:
1
Select the sub group to remove.
2
Click the button.
The verification dialog box appears.
 
3
Click Remove.
The sub-group is removed from the Database Groups list.
To edit a database sub-group:
1
Select the requested sub group.
2
Click the button.
The Edit Group dialog box appears.
3
To add an instance to the sub group, select the requested instance in the Available column and click [>].
The selected instance moves to the Selected column.
4
To remove an instance from the sub-group, select the requested instance in the Selected column, and click [<].
The selected instance moves to the Available column.
5
Click OK.

Previewing the Requested Instance

Clicking the eye icon next to the instance name opens the quick view panel. The quick view provides a preview of the instance’s most significant indicators, using the following sections:

•
General — identical to the home page’s Instance pane.
This section provides the following details:
•
DB Type — identifies whether the database type of the monitored instance is SQL Server, Sybase, DB2, or Oracle.
•
Version — identifies the database version number, along with the most recently installed service packs.
•
Up Since — identifies the date and time when the SQL Server instance was last started.
•
Host — identifies the host’s name.
•
OS Cluster — indicates whether the instance is part of an OS cluster.
•
Alarms — displays the number of warning, critical, and fatal alarms for the instance.
•
SQL Performance — opens the History drilldown, which displays SQL performance-related data, either at a high-level or in-depth. This option is available only for instances that have SQL PI configured.
•
HADR — indicates whether one or more of the following services are configured:
•
Mirroring — points out whether one or more databases within the monitored instance take part in a mirroring operation, either as a principal database whose exact copy is mirrored on a different instance, or as a mirror database. For details, see Tracking the Status of the Mirroring Operation .
•
Log shipping — used for setting up back-up databases to take the place of a current “live” database if that database goes down. For details, see Tracking the Status of the Mirroring Operation .
•
Replication — for details, see Configuring the On Demand Data Port on the Agent Manager Concentrator .
•
Always On — for details, see Reviewing the Always On Availability Groups .
•
Cluster Aware — indicates whether the instance is part of a SQL Server cluster.
•
Host — displays the following indicators about the operating system’s performance:
•
CPU load
•
Memory utilization
•
Disk utilization
•
Storage — displays the storage’s total percentage of used space, and the following indicators:
•
Total number of file groups
•
Total number of files
•
Total volume of occupied disk space, in gigabytes
•
Workload — the workload (average active sessions) graph for the SQL Server instance, plotted over the specified time range (by default: last 60 minutes).
The Workload section also contains the following buttons:
•
Overview — allows accessing the Foglight for SQL Server Overview page.
•
Replication — this button, which is enabled only when the monitored instance is detected as a distributing instance, allows accessing the Replication home page. For more information, see Configuring the On Demand Data Port on the Agent Manager Concentrator.
•
SQL Performance — opens the SQL Performance drilldown, which displays performance-related data, either at a high-level data for all instances or in-depth data, available only for databases which are configured with SQL Performance Investigator. For details, see Monitoring SQL Performance .

Components Shared by all Foglight for SQL Server Screens

The tables’ Customizer button and the In-context action button are common to all Foglight for SQL Server screens, drilldowns, and panels.

Figure 1. Customizer button

•
The Customizer button — found on the upper right corner of most tables. This button allows inserting additional fields to grids and creating a custom filter. The filter is created by clicking Customizer and specifying the criteria that the various values should meet to be displayed in the table. For example, having a specific name, or exceeding a certain size. For detailed instructions and examples, see Foglight User Guide > Working with Dashboards > Working with Tables.
•
In-context actions button — found on the upper right corner of all screens. On selecting it a menu displays allowing actions such as refresh of the viewed screen, quick access to the Agent Admin dashboard and shortcuts to documentation info and support."
