SQL Server is a relational database management system developed by
Microsoft. It is commonly used in enterprise environments and offers a
wide range of features for data storage, querying, and manipulation. SQL
Server supports the SQL language and is known for its scalability,
reliability, and performance. It provides advanced features such as
support for ACID transactions (Atomicity, Consistency, Isolation, and
Durability), integration with Microsoft’s .NET development platform,
business intelligence (BI) support, data replication, disaster recovery,
and enhanced security.
Furthermore, SQL Server offers various editions to cater to the
specific needs of different organizations, from small businesses to
large corporations. It can be deployed either on-premises or as a
managed service in the cloud, providing flexibility in choosing the
hosting infrastructure.
How to Monitor A SQL Server on the One Platform
To set up monitoring for SQL Server on the platform, follow these steps:
-
Go to the product application where you want to add SQL Server as a dependency in the platform.
-
Click on the “Products” menu and select the desired product card.
-
Then, click on the name of the specific application where you want to configure SQL Server monitoring.
-
Look for the section called “External Dependencies,” usually located just below the latency graph of the application.
-
To add an already registered dependency, type the name of the
dependency in the search field and select it when it appears in the
list. -
If SQL Server is not yet registered as a dependency, click on the green button with a plus (+) symbol to add a new dependency.
Click “Add” and a modal will
appear allowing you to name the database and select the Environment. In
the “Check type” field, choose the option “DB,” and in the “Method”
field, select “SQL Server.” After selecting the method, a field for the
Healthcheck URL will appear.
Below is an example of string for SQL Server:
ex: sqlserver://USER:PASSWORD@HOST?database=DB
Note: For security reasons, it is
not permitted to enter an IP in the healthcheck field. To monitor an IP,
you need to enter it in a secret and use it in healthcheck
