MS SQL Server :: Database Monitoring

SQL 2012 :: Monitoring Tool Using Powershell And Performance Monitoring

Sep 15, 2014

We are in plan to build a Monitoring tool using PowerShell and Performance Monitor which could monitor 10 to 20 servers. Do you have any reference of any existing tool using Performance Monitor to monitor the SQL Server and available for free? I didn't want to put some effort, if something is available already.

Database Monitoring

Jan 19, 2005

Can anybody help me with the following on my MS SQL Server 2000 database.

1. All tables should have a lastModificationDate column. Any changes and inserts should have the system time updated with a trigger or so. We shouldn�t be inserting the value using SQL statements into this column.

2. There shouldn�t be any deletes on the table. Any deleted records should be marked as inactive or deleted, so it won�t come in queries, but should be physically present in the tables.

3. A modification log table, which will carry the table name, the column identifier, user modified, old value and the timestamp.

Thanks
Kishore

Database Size Monitoring In 6.5?

Sep 6, 1999

In SQL Server 6.5 what can you use to monitor the size of you database?

I know you can use the SQLPerfMon counters to constantly check the percentage of the log spaced used, I was just hoping there was a similar counter for the database size because I want to generate a system event when the database gets 80% full. Is there such a utility??

Sql2005 And Possible Database Auditing/monitoring...

Jul 13, 2007

Does 2005 have some kind of new feature that audits/monitors changes to a database kind of like an antivirus or something.
Reason for question:
1) inserting records into database, 1000 records takes about 2 minutes.
2) reading those 1000 records takes about 45 seconds
3) updating those 1000 records takes about 15 minutes
4) yes we are using ntwdblib.dll and a 4gl language

i was running a test program to add, read, update, delete 1000 records and that is when i noticed that insert, update, delete took a performance hit whereas reading didnt. i ran my test program on a control server (in house) and then at the clients side(matching OS, MSSQL 2005 SP2). Results from test program: The UPDATE process on client side took about 4x longer, INSERT about 2x longer, DELETE about 1.5x longer, READ was actually faster on the clients system.
so this made me wonder if their was some kind of database monitoring/auditing going on.

CPU Monitoring

Aug 16, 2000

I understand the rule of thumb that the CPU should not be over 90%. If you take the four counters (%processor time,%privileged time, %user time, %interrupt time, and interrupt seconds), what combination gives you your CPU
time ?

Health Monitoring And IIS

Feb 5, 2007

Hi,
I have implemented health monitoring for my web-site, using the SQL provider.
Health monitoring works fine when the website is run from VS2005, using the built in web server, all the expected events are inserted into the aspnet database. However when I deploy the site onto IIS, no events are ever inserted into the database.
I would appreciate some help figuring out why this is happening! The code that implements the health monitoring in my web.config file is:1 <healthMonitoring
2 enabled="true"
3 heartbeatInterval="0">
4 <bufferModes>
5
6 <remove name="Analysis"/>
7

Monitoring Usage

May 10, 2006

I would just like to know what everyone uses to monitor SQL usage? We have a SQL 2000 server that already has several applications sharing it and everyone wants to keep forcing more onto it.

I want to be able to judge when this server has reached it's capacity or how much more it can allow. Can SQL profiler alone do this for me?

Thanks.

Performance Monitoring

Mar 8, 1999

Does anyone know of a way to determine which SPs or which tables are being accessed the most heavily or often from an application? I have inherited a site that is heavily used, but poorly tuned. However we have distributed C/S apps that hit the server and do not contain debug code. In addition, the SPs are encrypted and I do not want to replace them in the short term with new SPs that log hits.

I realize I can use triggers, but is there any other method?

Monitoring SQL Server

Nov 7, 2005

I believe we are reaching some limitations with SQL Server and I have been monitoring certain items in the Performance Monitor such as: pages/sec; Bytes received/sec; Bytes sent/sec; % disk read time; % disk write time; % processor time; Log growths; percent log used; and transactions/sec. I notice quite a few spikes in Bytes sent/sec and when the % disk read time spikes for more than a few seconds, users notice a delay.

My thoughts are that 1: We need more memory on our SQL Server box (we currently have 768 meg, need a faster SQL Server box and need to distribute the load of some databases to another SQL Server; and 2: We also have a bottleneck when users are connecting via Citrix to SQL Server via our Terminal2 server (which has been tracked down to simply a slow Terminal2 box with a slow nic card - This has been confirmed that our Terminal2 is definately taking a toll and will time-out when large queries are executed.)

We also have been monitoring each of the server boxes. Are there any other recommendations for SQL Server Performance monitor that anyone could see which would be good to monitor (there are several things which can be selected to monitor?)

We've also noticed that bound MSAccess forms seem to play a significant role in the long spikes for Bytes sent/sec. I'm assuming this might be normal for bound forms and the slow SQL Server box with limited memory. Unbound MSAccess forms do not seem to present any problem and show as quick spikes for the Performance monitor.

Another problem is that I also can't seem to tie back the Performance monitor spikes with specific transactions in the SQL Profiler. Is there any way to pinpoint a spike in the Performance monitor with a specific transaction other than trying to catch the spike and quickly switching to SQL Profiler?

We are planning on upgrading our SQL Server box and also adding in another SQL Server box to help distribute the load with certain databases. We are also getting a faster box for our Terminal2 (citrix) server as these slow-downs/time-outs do not happen internally or when we use Remote Desktop Connection to connect externally (only when we connect externally via Terminal2).

Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thank you in advance.

Automatic Job Monitoring

Jul 16, 2006

I'm a SQL Server 7/2000 DBA and manages about 40 servers in different networks. Every morning I check through the Enterprise Manager if all Jobs (backup, maintenance, etc.) have run successfully. This check costs me 1 hour per day.

Because of a reorganization I've got some new college's and lost some college's. My new college's think this is to much work, so it should be automated. They only want the failed jobs to report an error on a website or something like that, and don't want to check 40 servers. I don't agree in this, because I'm affraid I'm going to miss some errors.

How do you do your checks every morning?

Thanks,

Marco

We are evaluating proactive monitoring tools for our heterogeneous database environment, currently comprising of Sybase and MS SQL Server.

Our current options are Bradmark Surveillance, Quest Foglight/Spotlight, MOM (SQL Server only) & Embarcadero Performance Center.

Are there any recommended tools from your experience? Or any tools with with you have had bad experience?

Performance Monitoring

Jan 13, 2004

Hi,

I want to collect performance measures regarding the import of data
and the growth of resulting extract_tables.

I use - say - 15 tables from a erp-system (like JDE Edwards)
to build a -say - sales-warehouse and a MS-OLAP-cube.

For every incoming table I got a dts-package witch is
protocolled into msdb.sysdtspackagelog.
Every package got the name
[Build]_[Subsystem]_[Table_name]
e.g. JDEdwards_Sales_F0005
The destination table is namend e.g. extr_F0005

Now:
With a seperate DTS-package I transport the
records from msdb-db into my build-db
- say - JDEdwardsExtract.
Name: extr_performance_monitor
(eventually filter on buildname, because there are several builds in
my system)

So this result is quit good and easy to handle for
seeing elapsed time per day.

But the dtslog won't tell me, how many records the dtspackage
had to copy.(and there is one at least with no records (Cubeupdate))

Now the count(*) comes in.

In the dts-package
sys...log ---- to --- extr_performance_monitor
I added the columns
extr_table_name,
extr_table_rowcount,
extr_table_timestamp.

With
select name, 'extr_' + replace(name, '[Build]_[Subsystem]','') as
extr_table_name from extr_performance_monitor
I cut the original dts packagename down to the extr_.. name.

But I don't have a clue how to solve the count(*)

Example:
dts_package_name,.... , extr_table_name,extr_table_rowcount, extr_table_timestamp

[Build]_[SS]_[F0005], ..., extr_F0005, 0, sysdate.

I think about a package wich is running after the last
data_import (and cube_refresh) is done.
(but the same day)

So the result could be:

Table_name (as dimension category)
Time to perform
Number of records in import table
Records per second.

The next step could be to look for required space.

The result should be a grafik - say - over 12 month
were you can easily see the amount of data performend
time consumend, (table space used),
and - very important -
you could extrapolate your hardware requirements.

Looking forward for any hints.

Thanks in advance.

Michael

Performance Monitoring?

Apr 14, 2004

My SQL Server 2000 system is pegged. Disk activity is maxed out and system is very unresponsive. Several people have database tasks running through this system and I'm pretty sure there is a single application that is the culprit and I'd like to identify which one.

Does anyone have any practical tips on using "Process Info" in Enterprise Manager? What units are CPU and Physical I/O displayed in? Why does the column sort on these fields not work as expected?

Do I just pick the process with the largest Physical I/O and assume that's the problem?
