Foglight for SQL Server (Cartridge) 5.9.7.21


	NOTE: When you make edits to alarm settings on the Alarms view, the edits are saved separately and applied over the predefined rules, which protects your changes from software updates.

To manage alarm thresholds and notifications for rules:

In the navigation panel, under Homes, click Databases.

Select the row check boxes beside one or more Foglight for SQL Server instances.

Click Agent settings and then click Administration.

The Databases Administration dashboard opens.

Click Alarms.

The Alarms view contains the predefined rules organized by category.

From here, you can perform the following tasks:

•

Set alarm sensitivity levels

•

Enable/disable alarms

•

Change alarm threshold values

•

Enable/disable severity levels for each alarm

•

Configure email notifications

Foglight Administration — Rules Management Dashboard

In the Rules Management dashboard, all Foglight for SQL Server rules are displayed in the list. You can restrict the list to show only the rules installed with a cartridge. You can also search the list for a single rule or a group of rules.


	NOTE: Predefined rules may be modified during regular software updates. To avoid losing your changes to these rules, we recommend copying the rule and making edits to the copy. Enable the copy and disable the original rule. You may want to identify your custom rules with a unique prefix.

To review and edit rules:

In the navigation panel, under Homes, click Administration.

In the Administration dashboard, click Rules.

The Rule Management dashboard opens.

To show only Foglight for SQL Server rules, in the Search box, type the prefix: DBSS.


	TIP: Alternatively, you can select DB_SQL_Server_UI from the Cartridge list.

From here, you can perform the following tasks:

•

Review a short description of the rule.

•

Review and edit threshold values.


	TIP: For DBSS rules, use the Databases Administration — Alarms View instead.

•

Copy rules.

•

Edit rule conditions.

•

Associate actions with rules.


	NOTE: By default, predefined Foglight for SQL Server rules do not trigger any actions.

•

Create user-defined rules.


	NOTE: User-defined rules are always managed from the Rule Management dashboard; these rules are not displayed in the Databases Administration — Alarms View.

For help with these tasks, open the online help from the Rules Management dashboard.

Collections and Metrics

The Foglight for SQL Server’s agent collects and stores data at all times, even when the browser window that displays the data is not active. The Collection Frequencies view in the Databases Administration dashboard includes a number of predefined collections that are sampled and stored, as well as the data collection values when sampling is carried out in online, offline, and real-time frequency modes.

For more information about working with collections, see the Foglight Administration and Configuration Guide.


	NOTE: All of the information collected according to the definitions described in this section is displayed on Foglight for SQL Server. For details, see the Foglight for SQL Server User Guide.


	NOTE: Several collections contain metrics whose name ends with Rate (for example: Physical Writes Rate and Physical Disks Rate). Such metrics, which are not documented in this guide, are used for plotting the original metric (usually called by the same name without the “Rate” suffix) on a graph for the selected time range.

SQL Server Agent's Default Collections

SQL Server Agent’s Default Collections


Column	Description
Collection Name	The collection name, as retrieved by the agent.
Display Name	The collection name, as displayed in the application’s sections to which the collection retrieves information.
Description	The name of the collection. This list is sorted in alphabetical order.
Offline Frequency	Allows defining the collection interval, in seconds, in low frequency mode (for example: 300). Low frequency mode refers to the frequency at which the agent collects data when no user is currently connected to the monitored instance.
Online Frequency	Allows defining the collection interval, in seconds, in high frequency mode (for example: 60). High frequency mode refers to the frequency at which the agent collects data when none of the currently logged-on users are in focus on a screen, which displays any of the metrics sampled by this collection.
Real-time Frequency	Allows defining the collection interval, in seconds, in real-time frequency mode (for example: 20). Fast frequency mode refers to the frequency at which the agent collects data when one or more of the currently logged-on users are in focus on a screen, which displays any of the metrics sampled by this collection.
