Rules Collections and Metrics

Viewing Historical Metrics

The History section view is divided into two sections that are correlated to each other:

•
Resource consumption charts — This section displays data in five different charts:
•
Workload chart — Displays the instance resource activity over the selected time frame by emphasizing the resources by colors.
•
Baseline chart — Displays the instance workload compared to the baseline over time.
•
Breakdown chart — Activity of the instance by second.
•
Resource Breakdown Pie chart — Displays the resource breakdown usage by % of the total instance activity.
•
All wait events pop up — Displays details of the wait events that the instance is waiting on during the selected time range.
•
Overview section- Displays a graphical representation of the metrics highlighted in the Workload related Metrics table below.
•
Workload related Metrics - A table that displays a variety of resource consumption metrics which can give an in-depth of the instance activity, each resource holds its default metrics.

Selecting each dimension in the performance tree together with a specific resource effects the data displayed for each Level.

For example, by selecting the Lock resource the Instance view dimension will present only locks related data, the SQL Statements dimension will present only the statements that were experiencing locks and DB users the were experiencing locks and so on through all the dimensions and resources.

Viewing XTP Data

The XTP pane displays information gathered by SQL Performance Investigator and XTP-related DVMVs. Metrics displayed are:

Table 9. XTP metric definitions
Metric
Description

XTP Transaction Wait

Time spent waiting for in memory transaction events.

XTP Wait

Time spent waiting for in memory OLTP (XTP) related events.

XTP Miscellaneous Wait

Time spent waiting for in memory miscenllaneous events. Those events are not related to transactions, log or natively compiled stored procedures.

XTP Log write Wait

Time spent waiting for in memory log and checkpoint related events.

XTP Procedure Wait

Time spent waiting for events related to natively compiled stored procedures.

XTP Transactions

The total number of transactions that have run in the In Memory OLTP database engine.

XTP Failed due to Unique Contraint

Total number of unique constraint violations.

XTP Writes

Total number of megabytes written to the In Memory OLTP log records.

XTP Failed due to Write Conflicts

The number of conflicts between transactions while writing a row which lead to aborts.

XTP Transactions on Durable Tables

Total number of transactions that require log IO. Only considers transactions on durable tables.

XTP Failed due to Dependencies

The number of times a transaction aborts because a transaction on which it was dependent aborts.

XTP Read Only Transactions

The number of read only transactions.

XTP Failed due to Validation

The number of times a transaction has aborted due to a validation failure.

XTP Aborted Transactions

The total number of transactions that were aborted, either through user or system abort.

Monitoring and Tuning the Highest XTP Wait Events

In general, the XTP option on the SQL performance dashboard should show none or almost none XTP wait consumption. The most likely way to observe any XTP activity would be to show background processes.

However, in case there are significant waits related to XTP activity; use the Resource Breakdown pie chart. Clicking on the "All Wait Events" anchor allows you to get the actual wait counts. This drilldown display also allows you to compare the XTP wait events in comparison with other waits detected by SQL PI.

Investigation XTP Transaction Failures

Use the XTP related Metrics:

•
xtp_aborted_transactions
•
xtp_failed_due_to_validation
•
xtp_failed_due_to_dependencies
•
xtp_failed_due_to_unique_constraint
•
xtp_failed_due_to_write_conflicts

These metrics allow you to find if there were XTP transactions that failed. They also enable research on the top reasons of failure. Clicking on each of these values allows you to investigate the amount of failure over time.

Viewing Change Tracking

The change tracking tool is an integrated monitoring mechanism. It periodically tracks changes in environments and activity that can potentially influence system performance and enables the user to view correlation between occurrences of changes and SQL Server's activity and behavior patterns.

Use the Categories filter mechanism to refine the set of displayed change tracking occurrences. These categories are displayed on the right hand side of the pane and include:

Accounts

For each database in an MSSQL instance: Users and permissions changes.

Database Configuration

For each database in an MSSQL instance: File group parameters; files (data, log and control) location, size and status.

Database Objects

For each database in an MSSQL instance: Any schema object: Tables and indexes and their partitions and sub-partitions; clustered and non-clustered indexes; constraints; views; functions; procedures; types and triggers (for example, altering a table; altering or rebuilding an index).

Execution Plan

SQL PI captures SQL statements whose execution plans have changed. When an execution plan has (unintentionally) changed, the outcome can result in SQL performance degradation. Therefore it is essential you investigate the change, by clicking the Properties button to graphically display the execution plan before and after the change, to verify that the nature and outcome of the change improve SQL performance.

Master Configuration

Master database: file groups, files, instance configuration, and databases defined in the instance. The master database houses all critical information such as server specific configuration information, user login accounts, running processes, system error messages, system stored procedures, and the location of the primary files that contain the initialization information for the user databases.

System Configuration

Hardware and operating system configuration (for example, disks and network interfaces (NIC); amount of RAM; CPU count; device installations and swap space allocation).

* 
NOTE: Selecting a specific dimension from the Performance Tree will display only the changes made in this specific dimension. The instance view displays all changes made.

Viewing Execution Plans

This view presents the execution plan of a selected SQL\batch and the cost of it. A Historical execution plan can be generated and will present any two views of the execution plan.

There are two ways to access the Execution Plan History dialog:

•
From a Change Tracking pane by clicking on a row that displays Execution Plan change.
•
From History by selecting the statement or batch and by clicking the 'Analyze' button in the top of the table.

The execution plan dashboard displays the following content.

Top Bar

Date — Displays all the execution date and time of the selected statement\batch

Type — Displays the type of the execution plan.

Plan handle — Displays the SQL handle on the execution plan.

Plan analysis section

The execution plan is displayed in tabs which present the cost of each operation and object of each step of the plan.

By pressing the Generate Plan button the execution plan is generated and can be viewed by clicking on Compare Plan. This opens a pop up with a compression of all available execution plans of the selected statement.
