Configuring User-defined Collections

The User-defined Collections view in the Databases Administration dashboard allows adding user-defined collections to all of the currently selected agents, to provide for queries not included in Foglight for SQL Server.

After collections are added, this view displays all of the user-defined collections for all of the agents; for example, if a collection was added to 12 agents during its addition, the view will display 12 rows, showing the collection for each agent.

This view can also be used for configuring the sampling frequency for each collection.

The available sampling frequencies are as follows:

1
Click Add.
2
Type a name in the Collection Name field.
3
Enter a brief description of the collection in the Collection description field (optional).
6
Click Verify.
After the verification process is complete, the Verification Results pop-up appears, indicating whether the collection was verified successfully. In case the collection verification failed, the error message is displayed.

The collections’ ID

The name of the column

The field type, as retrieved by the query (String, Integer and so on)

The column’s display name

The topology type for storage purposes. This type can be one of the following:

The metric’s Unit of Measurement/Indicator.

The possible measurement unit values are: Percent, Count, Millisecond, Second, Minute, Hour, Day, Byte, Kilobyte, Megabyte and Gigabyte.

Allows defining the value that is displayed in this metric, out of several values that were returned in the relevant time range.

The available aggregation values are:

Indicates whether the field is the query’s key for retrieval.

7
Ensure that all settings are appropriate, and click OK to finish the collection creation process.

Administering SQL Performance Investigator

The SQL Performance Investigator view in the Administration dashboard allows you to enable and disable SQL PI monitoring for selected agents. In addition, you can start and stop the collection of change tracking data.

In the SQL PI view, select one or more agents to enable or disable or for which to modify the change tracking status.

Configuring the On-demand Data Settings

The On-demand Data Settings view in the Databases Administration dashboard allows you to define a port for each Foglight Agent Manager (FglAM) to be used for retrieving data and integrating with SQL Performance Investigator.

2
Click Set port.
The Set On-demand Data Port dialog box appears.
4
Click Set.
5
Click Validate connectivity.

Configuring the Database to be Excluded

Monitoring all of the databases within all of the agents can unnecessarily load the system, as not all databases require such monitoring, due to being either non-mission critical or less significant. The Exclude Databases from Monitoring view allows excluding such databases from monitoring. Use this view to select the agents from which databases are to be excluded from monitoring, and then specify, either manually or by selecting from a list, which databases to exclude.

The On-demand Data Settings view in the Databases Administration dashboard allows defining a port for each Foglight Agent Manager (FglAM) to be used for retrieving data and integrating with Foglight SQL PI.

1
Click Exclude databases.
2
Use the list Select specific agent or all agents to select an agent from which databases are to be excluded. Alternatively, select the option All selected agents.
