Activity Highlights

The Activity Highlights are provided for fast performance analysis and allow users focus on the most significant dimensions that are relevant for the resource selected in the selected time range.

This pane comprises the following elements:

•
Summary — Summarizes the instance consumption time by % of the total instance activity.
•
Activity Highlights table — Displays the activity highlights, resource breakdown usage, and the top wait event that the instance is waiting on within the selected time range.

Viewing SQL Statement Details

The SQL Statements table displays the top SQL statements that experienced the longest elapsed time during the selected time range. The number of SQL statements displayed is shown at the table's title, together with the field used for ordering the SQL statements. Selecting a row displays the workload and executions of the selected SQL statement on the SQL Activity section below. For details, see SQL Activity section .

Selecting the SQL Text in the SQL Statements tree panel displays a page that allows viewing detailed information about the selected SQL statement. For details, see SQL Activity section .

* 
NOTE: SQL Statement settings can be changed through Administration > Top SQL Statements.
To view SQL statement details:
1
In the Instance view, expand the Instance View.
2
Click SQL Statements.

 

Table 5. The Top SQL Statements table contains the following columns:
Column
Description
SQL Text

The SQL text for the selected SQL statement.

Object Name

The name of the object owning the SQL. For example: view, procedure or function.

% CPU Workload

SQL Activity section

Located below the table of Top SQL Statements by Elapsed Time, the SQL Activity section of the pane displays the workload and executions of the SQL statement you selected in the TOP SQL Statements table.

These metrics are visually represented in two graphs:

•
CPU Workload (Average Active Sessions) — Displays the activity (system workload), plotted over the specified time range. This graph compares the following metrics:
•
Overall CPU Workload — the workload incurred by the total top SQL statements displayed in the Top SQL Statements by Elapsed Time table.
•
Selected SQL CPU Workload — the average number of active sessions incurred by the selected SQL statement.
•
Executions — Displays the number of times the selected SQL statement was executed during the selected time range. Alternatively, it is possible to display the number of executions carried out by the total SQL statements in the Top SQL statements table.
Viewing specific SQL statement details

To view detailed graphic and textual data about a specific SQL statement, select the SQL statement from the statements listed in the Instance View.

This page contains the following panes:

SQL activity
•
The SQL Activity pane displays the CPU workload and executions of the selected SQL statement, as well as all SQL statements displayed on the Top SQL Statements table. This pane is identical to the SQL Activity section on the Top SQL Statements panel.
SQL text
•
The SQL Text pane displays the short text of the selected SQL handle, and allows viewing the wider context of this text, namely: the SQL handle's full text, the entire batch and the SQL Statement's execution plan.
•
This pane displays the short SQL statement, whose maximum size is by default 256 characters. In addition, the pane includes the following buttons:
•
View Full Text — Displays a pop-up with the SQL handle's full text
•
View Batch — Displays a pop-up with the full text of the entire batch to which the SQL handle belongs
•
View Plan — Displays a pop-up that shows the SQL statement's execution plan and allows downloading the execution plan (.sqlplan) file.
SQL metrics
 
Table 6. The SQL Metrics pane contains a table with the selected SQL statement's metrics:
Column
Description
Object Name

The name of the object from which the SQL statement was executed.

Executions

The number of executions that took place on this object since it was brought into the library cache.

NOTE: The Executions parameter does not provide any informational value unless the Total option is selected. When selecting the option Perf Execution, the value of this parameter is always one (1).
Elapsed Time

The total time consumed for carrying out the SQL statement executions.

CPU Time

The total CPU time consumed for carrying out the SQL statement executions.

CLR Time

If the statement executed one or more CLR objects, the time consumed for these executions.

Total I/O Operations

The total number of reads, both physical and logical, carried out by the selected SQL statement.

Pie Charts

The Pie Charts pane includes the pie charts listed below, which display the activity during the selected time range for the selected metrics.

•
Total CPU Time — The total CPU time consumed for executing the selected SQL statement, compared with the CPU time consumed for executing all of the SQL statements
•
Executions — The number of times the SQL script executed for a the selected SQL handle, compared with the total SQL statements
•
Logical Reads — The total number of logical reads for the selected SQL statement, compared with the total SQL statements
•
Physical Reads — The total number of physical reads for the selected SQL statement, compared with the total SQL statements

Monitoring SQL Performance with SQL PI Configured

The SQL Performance Investigator provides the ability of a more in-depth analysis and investigation of the Instance activity and resource consumption.

SQL PI provides the ability to investigate and analyze the resource consumption of the instance by using:

•
Performance tree. See Performance Tree
•
History. See Viewing Historical Metrics
•
Change Tracking. See Viewing Change Tracking
•
Execution plan. See Viewing Execution Plans

Performance Tree

The performance tree provides iterative (up to three levels) access to any of the key dimensions associated with SQL Server database activity, based on the OLAP multidimensional model and an instance view of the instance activity. Domain nodes offer a hierarchical view of all types of SQL Server activity characteristics.

Selecting a dimension from the tree determines what subset of activity is displayed. Iterative drill-down into domains of interest provides increasingly refined focus and diagnosis.

For example, to begin the investigation by first identifying the most active DB User, follow the steps described below:
1
Select the DB Users node, to display the most active database users in the selected time range. That is, the database users who consumed the highest amount of the selected resource.
2
Select the first user, to focus the entire window on that user's activity.
3
Identify the most demanding SQL statement that this specific user has executed, by expanding the user node and then selecting the SQL statement dimension node.
This displays the most active SQL statements executed by this user.
4
Select a specific SQL statement to focus the entire window on the selected statement's activity.
5
Select Client Machines under the selected SQL Statement, to view the computers on which the statement was run.

In a similar manner, such iterative drilldowns can be carried out into any SQL Server dimension of interest, to gain a complete understanding of the causes of its behavior.

The default SQL Server dimensions are as follows:

•
SQL Statements — The executed SQL commands.
•
TSQL Batches — T-SQL Batch is the set of T-SQL (Transact-SQL) commands that are sent to execution together, usually corresponding to a single business transaction. TSQL Batch can end with a GO command, and execute database components such as:
•
Stored Procedures — Sets of T-SQL code that are stored and compiled in a SQL Server database.
•
Functions — Saved T-SQL routines that return a single value or a set of columns and rows.
•
Triggers — Batches that fire after the execution of a DML (Data Manipulation Language) statement.
•
Databases — The database context in which the session carried out its operations. A session may switch to numerous databases within its lifetime.
•
Programs — Name of a program that connects to SQL Server and executes the SQL statements, as specified in the Program column of the SQL Server session information.
•
OS Users — Operating system users running the client program.
•
Client Machines — The machines on which the client executable (connected to SQL Server) is running.
•
DB Users — SQL Server login names used for logging in to SQL Server.
•
Context Info — Optional trace information that a session can create using the SET CONTEXT_INFO command. Context Info allows users to associate up to 128 bytes of binary information with the current session or connection. While the technical implementation is binary, users commonly associate keywords or strings of text with their sessions.
•
Command Types — Executed SQL command type (for example, INSERT and SELECT).
•
Sessions — Presents the top sessions which consumed the highest active time during the selected time frame.
* 
NOTE: Session data is kept for 3 days.
•
Locked Objects — Displays the objects that experienced locks, the duration of the lock and the type of the lock. The object view can be sorted by selecting a dimension in the performance tree, for example: by selecting a database name only the locked object that occurred on that database will be displayed.

In the SQL Statements and SQL Batches dimension there is an option to view information regarding the selected statement\batch through the top SQL statements\Top SQL batches table top:

•
View Full Text — View full text of the statement\batch selected.
•
Analyze Plan — View execution plan analytics of the statement\batch selected for more information regarding the execution plan. See Viewing Execution Plans
•
Tune SQL — Export the statement\batch selected to a file that can be opened by Quest’s SQL Optimizer toll.
•
Compare — Retrieve the selected statement\batch to the compare dashboard for comparing it to other activities. For more information regarding the Compare, see Comparing Performance .
