# Monitoring Microsoft SQL Server with Grafana





    Grafana Dashboard Badge




Example of the metrics you should expect to retrieve; the detailed list of exported metrics is maintained [here](docs/metrics.md).



A Docker Compose setup is available if you wish to test the dashboard. Available [here](quickstart/README.md).



## Features



This is a comprehensive Grafana dashboard designed for monitoring Microsoft SQL Server. It provides real-time insights into your SQL Server environment, making it easy for both technical and non-technical users to understand the performance of their SQL Server instances.



## Data Source Setup

The data source for this dashboard can directly be your SQL Server database instance. Ensure that the SQL Server instance is accessible to Grafana.



### General

- **Database name**: Displays the database name.

- **Uptime**: Displays the SQL Server start time.

- **Active User Sessions**: Shows the count of active user sessions by login name.

### Query Performance

- **Top 10 Longest Running Queries**: Lists the top 10 queries with the longest average duration.

- **Queries per Second**: Provides average duration and execution count of queries.

- **Query Cache Hit Rate**: Visualizes the cache hit ratio for queries.

- **Query Plan Cache Efficiency**: Shows the efficiency of cached query plans.

- **Wait Stats Overview**: Displays an overview of wait statistics in SQL Server.

- **Current Connections**: Indicates the current number of connections to the SQL Server.

- **Query Latency**: Visualizes latency for recent queries.
