Dispatcher

Dispatcher is a background process, which is responsible for routing requests from connected user processes to available shared server processes, and for returning the responses back to the appropriate user processes.

The dispatcher process, which is only utilized with shared server configuration, handles and directs multiple incoming network session requests to shared server processes. At least one dispatcher process has to be created for every communication protocol available on the server.

Drilldown

A Foglight for Azure SQL Database view that provides more detailed information about a particular element (for example, a monitored object or an alarm) than the current view or dashboard. Foglight for Azure SQL Database drilldowns often contains charts or tables showing Azure SQL Database or Windows statistics or objects.

DTU

The Database Transaction Unit (DTU) is based on a blended measure of CPU, memory, reads, and writes. The DTU-based performance levels represent preconfigured bundles of resources to drive different levels of application performance. If you do not want to worry about the underlying resources and prefer the simplicity of a preconfigured bundle while paying a fixed amount each month, you may find the DTU-based model more suitable for your needs.

Elastic Pool

SQL Database elastic pool is a shared resource model that enables higher resource utilization efficiency, with all the databases within an elastic pool sharing predefined resources within the same pool. The workload pattern is well defined and is highly cost-effective in multitenant scenarios. Elastic pool is best for new SaaS apps requiring database isolation among tenants, or for modernizing existing apps to SaaS.
