Foglight for SQL Server (Cartridge) 6.3.0

Table 18. The Disk Storage pane.
Parameter	Description
Databases	The total number of available databases in the SQL Server instance. This icon displays an alarm when one or more of the databases becomes unavailable, or if any database has not been backed up in the last few days. For details about handling these alarms, see Recent Backups Alarm and Database Unavailable Alarm .
Data Space	The total number of data files in all databases of the SQL Server instance. The disk icon represents the total percentage of currently used space within the entire capacity of all data files that reside on all databases. The total percentage is also displayed in text at the bottom of this section, below the text that displays the physical size of data files space used.
Log Space	The log files in all databases of the SQL Server instance.The total percentage is also displayed in text.
Disk Activity section
Disk Utilization	The percentage of time the busiest disk spent serving system-wide I/O requests. The Disk Utilization metric serves as a measure for the system I/O load. High values may indicate a device bottleneck, due to either disk fragmentation or I/O resource contention of multiple processes that try to write or read from the disk.
Disk Queue Length	The average number of I/O requests that are queued and waiting for an available disk during the sample interval. This figure may include I/O activity generated by both SQL Server and non-SQL Server processes. For details, see Viewing the disk queue length .

Monitoring Background Processes

The Background Processes pane displays the status of optional SQL Server components, such as the Replication Agent, which is implemented as a job of SQL Server Agent service, and several of the SQL Server services.

Some of the supporting services significantly enhance the database efficiency and accuracy, and therefore should be active at all times; for example, DTC, which ensures successful and complete transactions.

Table 19. The Background Processes pane.
Indicator	Description
Replication	Indicates whether SQL Server Replication is configured. If replication is configured, indicates whether there are replication errors. Replication is an optional component of SQL Server, which synchronizes data between different SQL Server databases.
Services	Status of the SQL Server services that are currently monitored. These services are supplementary to SQL Server and provide capabilities such as mail and full text search. This icon invokes an alarm when any of the SQL Server services are installed, but not active. For details, see Alarms Displayed in the Background Processes Panel . For details about the drilldowns used for handling the supporting services alarms, see Reviewing the Support Service Status .

Monitoring the SQL Server physical I/O activity

The SQL Server Physical I/O chart displays the rate at which pages are physically read from and written to disk by SQL Server. The read and write operations are carried out by either SQL Server processes or system processes.

Figure 19. The SQL Server Physical I/O chart.

Physical read operations are necessary when creating a table or an index page for the first time. Nevertheless, these operations should be avoided when possible, as requested pages should reside in the SQL Server buffer cache. High rates of these metrics indicate extensive data operations.

The following list presents the main physical I/O types shown in the chart:

•

Checkpoint Writes are the most common type of write activity under normal circumstances. The checkpoint process periodically scans the buffer cache for modified pages and flushes all modified pages out to disk, thereby minimizing the amount of work SQL Server is required to do on restart.

Checkpoint writes are carried out at intervals, which are defined by the recovery interval parameter. If this parameter’s value is too high, the checkpoint process may run infrequently, thereby overloading the Lazy Writer process. As a result, the Lazy Writer does not efficiently maintain the Free Pages list and, when a certain threshold has been exceeded, the Free Buffers alarm is invoked. For details, see Free Buffers Alarm .

•

Lazy Writer Writes are carried out when the Lazy Writer process needs to free up buffer pages that have been modified in the buffer cache. Freeing up the buffers requires the Lazy Writer process to write first the changed pages to disk.

High value of lazy writes may indicate that SQL Server is running out of available space in the buffer pool cache. Use this chart to view whether the high lazy writes value is a consistent issue.

When the amount of SQL Server memory available for immediate reuse drops below a certain threshold, the Free Buffers alarm is invoked. For details, see Free Buffers Alarm .

•

Physical Page Reads are carried out when a user connection requests a page that is not already in the buffer cache. The connection requesting the page awaits until the I/O operation completes.

•

Physical Page Writes are write operations where the user connection has to wait for the I/O to complete before continuing. These are most often caused by operations such as create index, bulk insert, or restore.

•

Read Ahead occurs when SQL Server forecasts the need for data that currently resides on the disk. In this case, the pages are pre-fetched into the buffer cache before being requested by the user, using Read Ahead processing.

Monitoring the SQL Server logical I/O activity

The SQL Server Logical I/O chart displays the number of Logical reads (getpage requests) issued by SQL Server.

SQL Server keeps a copy of its most recently used database pages in the buffer cache. When a connection needs to reference a database page, SQL Server performs a Logical I/O operation by checking the buffer cache to see if the requested page is already in memory. If the page is found in the buffer cache, a Logical I/O read is carried out; otherwise, the page is read from disk, using a Physical I/O operation.

Viewing the disk queue length

The Disk Queue Length chart displays the disk activity for each logical disk.

Disk Queue length tracks the average number of I/O requests that are queued and waiting for an available disk during the sample interval. This figure may include I/O activity generated by processes other than SQL Server. Values that exceed the threshold set in this metric may indicate a system bottleneck.


	NOTE: Storage Area Network (SAN) storage array may indicate high Disk Queues for sustained periods, even though no disk I/O bottleneck takes place. Therefore, it is advisable to check related information about read, write, and transfer operations, and determine whether there are pending SQL Server I/O operations, before assuming the occurrence of I/O bottlenecks.

Viewing how SQL Server’s logical data is accessed and updated

The Access Methods chart allows viewing various statistics used for monitoring the methods used for accessing and updating SQL Server data. These counters are all collected from the SQL Server Access Methods Manager.

Figure 20. The Access Methods chart

Table 20. The Access Methods list allows you to choose one of the following counters:
Counter	Description
Page Splits	Displays the rate at which index database pages are being split into two because the page does not contain enough free space to accommodate an inserted or updated record.
Page Allocations	Displays the rate at which pages are being allocated to tables or indexes. Indicates how fast tables are expanding.
Page Deallocations	The rate at which pages are being de-allocated from tables or indexes, thereby indicating how fast tables are shrinking.
Freespace Scans	The number of scans initiated to search for free space to insert a new record. A high rate of freespace scans can indicate disk fragmentation.
Forwarded Records	The rate at which SQL Server is retrieving forwarded records. When a row in a table that does not have a clustering index is updated - and if the modified row no longer fits on the old page - SQL Server moves the row to a new page and leaves a forwarding pointer in the old page. Using this method saves the need to modify the non-clustered indexes in order to reflect the new row location; however, when this method is implemented, subsequent retrieval of this row using non-clustered indexes requires extra I/O resources. A high Forwarded Records rate can indicate a need to reorganize the existing tables (unload/reload) or define clustered indexes.
Ghosted Records	The rate at which SQL Server encounters ghosted records during scans. When a record is deleted from a table, SQL Server improves concurrency by not physically removing the row from index Leaf levels, but marking it instead as deleted (ghosted). At some later point, a housekeeping process asynchronously removes these rows from the leaf level. Until the records are removed, SQL Server must skip the ghosted records during leaf-level scans.
Table Lock Escalation	The rate at which locks are being escalated to the table level. A high table lock escalations rate may indicate a need to tune queries, in order to avoid designing multiple page locks that continually force SQL Server to carry out such escalations.

Viewing Session Details

The Sessions panel allows you to trace the activity of all currently opened sessions, as well as their resource consumption.

The Sessions panel is divided into 3 views:

•

Resource consumption - displays the current and last 1 hour resource consumption.

•

Current - displays all the current opened sessions.

•

Last 1 Hr. - Enabled only when SQL PI is configured. This view provides several significant features, which highly enhance data retrieval and display capabilities, viewing the top sessions that were executed in the instance during the last 1 hour and filtering them based on the resource consumption.

Reviewing Resource Consumption

The resource consumption section is divided into 2 time frames, Current and Last Hour.

The Current section allows viewing the consumption of various resources of all the sessions currently opened to the instance. The resource list is as follows:

•

Sessions — Displays the distribution of the currently opened SQL Server sessions between active (sessions that are actively processing in SQL Server) and inactive sessions during the current sampling period.

•

Throughput — Divided to 3 metrics which represent the throughput of the monitored instance:

•

Sessions/Sec — The rate per second of sessions that were initiated during the current sampling period.

•

Transaction — The average number of active transactions on the monitored instance during the current sampling period.

•

Batches/Sec — The rate per second of statement executions during the current sampling period.

•

Blocked — Displays the total number of SQL Server sessions that are blocked during the current sampling period.

•

CPU — The Host CPU Usage the total percentage of CPU resources being used on the monitored host. The displayed value represents the total CPU that is consumed by all Windows processes (SQL Server and non-SQL Server processes).

The Last 1 hour trend presents the activity on the instance during the last 1 Hour by presenting:

•

Workload — displays the general workload (average active sessions) during the specified time range.

•

Breakdown — displays the workload, distributed by the various wait event categories. The colors of the categories match the colors of the various resources displayed in the Resource Breakdown section.

By clicking the All Wait Events link at the upper right corner of the section, The Active Wait Events pop-up appears, with the Resource drop-down list unfiltered and displaying the entire list of wait events

Reviewing Current session details

The current sessions view allows you to monitor the currently running sessions and their individual resource consumption. The Session List section contains a table that lists all currently running SQL Server sessions, displaying each session in a separate row. The Sessions view in the table can be filtered by the Active only and Foreground Only check boxes:

•

Active only — selected by default, presenting only the active sessions that are currently running, by clearing the check box, all inactive sessions will be presented as well.

•

Foreground only — selected by default, presenting only the sessions whose SPID number is higher than 50, by clearing the check box, the background sessions will be presented as well which holds the instance sessions ID’s 1 through 50.

Lock Types chart

The Lock Types chart shows lock statistics broken down by the various types of locks available in SQL Server.

This chart displays one line for each of the following lock types:

•

AllocUnit — a lock on an allocation unit

•

Application — a lock on an application-specified resource

•

Database — a lock on a database, including all of the database’s objects

•

Extent — a lock on a contiguous group of eight pages

•

File — a lock on a database file

•

HoBT — a lock on a heap of data pages, or on the BTree structure of an index

•

Key — a lock on a row in an index

•

Metadata — a lock on a piece of catalog information, also called metadata

•

Object — lock on table, stored procedure, view, and so on, including all data and indexes. The object can be anything that has an entry in sys.all_objects.

•

Page — a lock on an 8-kilobyte (KB) page in a database

•

RID (Rows) — Row ID; a lock on a single row in a heap

Use the list on the chart title to select which of the following lock types to display:

•

Waits — the rate of lock request wait events. Such wait events take place when lock requests cannot be satisfied immediately and require the caller to wait before being granted the lock.

•

Average Wait Time — the average time (in seconds) that elapses before a lock request wait is cleared.

•

Lock Requests — the number of lock requests and lock conversion requests per second.

•

Timeouts — the number of lock time-outs per second.

By default, SQL Server never times out locks. However, many applications issue a SET LOCK_TIMEOUT statement to cause SQL Server to time out their locks after the specified interval. This metric shows how often these time-outs are being exceeded.

The Lock Timeout (@@LOCK_TIMEOUT) values for each connection are displayed in the Session Details pane, in the Sessions panel. For details, see Viewing Session Details .

•

Deadlocks — the number of lock requests per second that resulted in a deadlock.

A deadlock occurs when multiple SQL Server sessions request conflicting locks in such a way that two locks are blocked by each other. For further details, see Deadlocks Alarm .
