Monitoring the Plan Cache

The Plan Cache table displays objects that are currently stored in the plan cache.

 

The plan cache contains executable plans for Transact-SQL, including objects such as stored procedures, triggers, views and defaults, as well as ad hoc and prepared SQL.

To improve performance, Foglight for SQL Server limits the number of records that can be displayed in this table to 300 rows, but by default, a maximum of 20 records are displayed.

* 
NOTE: To define global settings about data retrieval to the Plan Cache table, use the Plan Cache view in the Databases Administration dashboard. To access this view, click the In-context actions button at the upper right side of the screen and then select Agent settings. For details, see Setting Options for Displaying Data in the Plan Cache .

Foglight for SQL Server retrieves the largest plan cache entries first, so if any entries are not displayed, they are the smallest ones.

 
Table 12. The Plan Cache table contains the following columns:
Metric
Description
Database

The database where the object resides.

Owner

The object’s owner.

Object

The object name.

Type

The object type.

An object can have one of the following types:

•
Stored procedure
•
Prepared statement
•
Ad hoc query
•
Replication procedure
•
Trigger
•
View
•
Default
•
User table
•
System table
•
Check
•
Rule
Use Count

The number of times this cache object has been used since the plan was created.

Reference Count

The number of objects that reference this cache object.

Used Size

The amount of space in the plan cache, in megabytes, which is allocated to this object.

% Cache

The percentage of plan cache used by this plan.

SQL Query Text

The name of the procedure, or the first 128 bytes of the batch submitted.

Language

The language of the connection that created the cache object.

Each connection can individually set an SQL Server language to be used for the connection.

NOTE: Running identical plans that use several, incompatible language formats decreases the plan cache hit rate. To avoid language issues, ensure that all identical plans use the same language.
Date Format

The date format used by the connection that created the cache object.

NOTE: Running identical plans that use several, incompatible date formats decreases the plan cache hit rate. To avoid date issues, ensure using the same date format for all applications.

Tracking Memory Allocation to the Plan Cache by Object Type

The Cache Size by Object Type chart displays the amount of memory allocated to the plan cache over time, and breaks it down by object type. This display allows viewing trends of plan usage, which can be used for improving the queries used for retrieving the plans.

Reviewing Statistics about Plan Cache Objects

The Object Types chart shows various statistics for each type of plan cache object.

Figure 13. The Object Types chart.

The Object Types list can be used for selecting the metric to be displayed in this graph. Each metric is displayed for each type of plan cache object.

 
Table 13. The Object Types chart displays the following metrics.
Metric
Description
Hit Rate

The rate of logical reads that were satisfied from plans existing in the plan cache, divided by plan types.

Number of Objects

The number of objects of each type that are currently stored in the plan cache.

Use Rate

The rate at which each type of plan cache objects is being run (used).

Reviewing the Instance Activity

The Activity drilldown provides access to graphs that display both current and recent activity details for the currently monitored SQL Server instance.

The first section contains instructions regarding the use of the various panels of the Activity drilldown for carrying out a root-cause analysis of possible performance issues. The following sections provide in-depth data about each panel.
