Mirroring Table

The Mirroring table displays the columns listed below.

The table below provides data about the columns that appear by default in the table. For a list of additional metrics, which are hidden by default, see Additional metrics in the Mirroring table .

 
Table 58. Mirroring table, default columns:
Column
Description
DBID

A number (ID) uniquely identifying a database within a SQL Server.

Database

The database name.

NOTE: The database name appears as a link which, when clicked, displays the Databases drilldown in Overview mode, with the selected database highlighted in the Databases table and its details displayed in the panes below.
Mirroring Role

The role the database takes in the mirroring process; either principal or mirror.

NOTE: The mirroring role is displayed as a link which, when clicked, displays the mirroring performance history of the selected database. For details, see Viewing the Selected Database’s Mirroring Performance History .
Principal

The name of the instance whose role in the process is principal.

Mirror

The name of the instance whose role in the mirroring process is mirror.

Mirroring Status

Indicates the severity determined based on the database state: Normal, Warning, or Critical. Each of these severity level values can correspond to several mirroring states.

Normal — can correspond to one of the following mirroring states:

•
SYNCHRONIZED (with a Witness)
•
SYNCHRONIZED (without a Witness)
NOTE: To view whether the mirroring operation is configured to use a Witness, click the Customizer button at the end of the table and turn on the display of the Witness Name and Witness State columns. For details, see Additional metrics in the Mirroring table .
•
SYNCHRONIZING

Warning — can correspond to one of the following mirroring states:

•
DISCONNECTED
•
PENDING_FAILOVER

Critical — can correspond to one of the following mirroring states:

•
SUSPENDED
•
UNSYNCHRONIZED
Mirroring State

A state indicating the mirroring session condition. This field can have one of the following values:

•
DISCONNECTED
•
SYNCHRONIZED (with a Witness configured)
•
SYNCHRONIZING
•
PENDING_FAILOVER
•
SUSPENDED
•
UNSYNCHRONIZED
•
SYNCHRONIZED (without a Witness configured)
Safety Level

The safety level at which the mirroring session is configured to work. This column indicates the level of synchronization between the two servers that take part in the mirroring process.

This field can have one of the following values:

•
UNKNOWN — unknown state
•
OFF — high availability (asynchronous). When an instance is configured with this safety level, the main consideration is that it remains available, regardless of the availability of its mirroring partner.
•
FULL — high safety (synchronous). The instance is configured to fail over when its mirroring partner becomes unavailable. Failover can be carried out automatically (if a Witness is configured) or manually.
Redo Queue

The redo queue size. This size can be either left Unlimited or defined in megabytes (MB).

Alarms

The number of warning, critical, and fatal alarms for the SQL Server database instance. When holding the cursor over one of the alarm counts, the dwell displays the most recent alarms raised against this database, sorted by severity.

Clicking this field displays the Alarms list, which is listed by severity order. See the Foglight Online Help, Monitoring System-Wide Alarms for details on the alarm information.

Additional metrics in the Mirroring table

The metrics listed below, which are also part of the Database Mirroring collection, do not appear by default in the Mirroring table. For details on these metrics, see the Database Mirroring Collection section in Foglight for SQL Server Reference Guide.

To display the metrics listed below:
1
Click the Customizer button () at the end of the table.
2
Select the check box near the requested metric.

Viewing the Role and Data Flow of the Selected Database

The Role and Data Flow of Database section displays the mirroring operation of the database selected in the Mirroring table and its mirroring partner. The monitored instance is always displayed on the left, and the data is shown as flowing in this instance’s direction, that is: Log Received if the database is Mirror, and Log Sent if the database is Principal.

Figure 25. The Role and Data Flow of Database displays the mirrored databases.

To investigate the data flow by displaying the selected database’s mirroring partner, use one of the following methods:

•
Click the cylinder icon that represents the mirroring partner
•
Click the link Investigate using the Partner’s Mirroring Page on the upper right side of the panel, above the table.

If the partner is currently monitored, its mirroring page will now be displayed. For details, see Viewing the Partner’s Mirroring Page . Otherwise, an error message is displayed, notifying that the partner server is currently not monitored.

Viewing the Selected Database's Mirroring Performance History

Viewing the Selected Database’s Mirroring Performance History

Clicking the Mirroring Role column of the Mirroring table displays the database’s Mirroring Performance History page, which allows carrying out the tasks described in the following sections:

•
Tracking the mirroring role over time
•
Tracking data transfer between the principal and the mirror databases
•
Tracking the mirroring roundtrip during the selected time range
Tracking the mirroring role over time

The Mirroring Role pane displays the role the database played in the mirroring operation during the selected time range: Principal, Mirror, or Not Mirroring.

The mirroring role is displayed as a gauge, with each of the mirroring roles indicated by another color. Positioning the cursor over the gauge displays the percentage, within the specified time range, the database spent in each role.

Tracking data transfer between the principal and the mirror databases

The middle section of the Mirroring Performance History page includes the following panes:

•
Principal Counters — this pane displays a chart of the following values, which can be selected from the list on the upper left:
•
Commit Acknowledgement Delay — indicates a delay in waiting for acknowledgement of unterminated transaction commit. This metric is specific to the principal database, and holds values only when a Full safety level is configured.
•
Write Commit — the number of transactions in the principal database that had to wait for a write commit in the mirror database's transaction log. Low values of this metric indicate a bottleneck.
•
Log Sent — indicates the rate, in megabytes, of log sent from the principal to the mirror database.
•
Log Send Flow Buffer Wait — the amount of time the mirroring session had to wait to use the mirroring flow control buffer. This value is specific to the principal database.
•
Log Sent from Cache — indicates the aggregated size, in megabytes, of the log records sent from the principal database cache rather than straight from the transaction log.
•
Send Queue — total size, in megabytes, of data waiting to be sent to the mirroring database.
•
Mirror Counters — this pane displays a chart of the following values, which can be selected from the list on the upper left:
•
Roll Forward Queue — total size, in megabytes, that remains to roll forward to the mirroring database.
•
Log Received — indicates the aggregated size, in megabytes, of log records received from the principal database.
•
Log Rolled Forward — the aggregated size, in megabytes, of log records that were rolled forward on the mirror database.
•
Log Cache Redone — the aggregated size, in megabytes, of log records that are being read from redo cache rather than from the transaction log. Constantly low values of this metric indicate that the transaction logs are arriving faster than they can be read by the redo task. This metric is specific to the mirror database.
•
Log Harden Wait Time — the amount of time spent waiting for the log to be written to the mirroring database. High values of this metric can indicate that the disk of the mirroring database is loaded.
Tracking the mirroring roundtrip during the selected time range

The Mirroring Roundtrip section displays a chart that indicates the latency of the mirroring session during the selected time range.

Viewing the Partner's Mirroring Page

Viewing the Partner’s Mirroring Page

When viewing the mirroring performance of a database that takes part in the mirroring operation, either as a principal or as a mirror database, it is possible to investigate the selected database’s mirroring partner, using one of the following methods:

•
Clicking the cylinder icon that represents the mirroring partner
•
Clicking the link Investigate using the Partner’s Mirroring Page on the upper right side of the table.

In so doing, the mirroring operation can be investigated from the point of view of the other database, thereby determining the source of the performance issue.
