Diagnosing Database Performance Problems When You Aren't a Database Administrator

How to monitor Microsoft SQL Server with Prometheus
In this article, you will learn how to monitor SQL Server with Prometheus. SQL Server is a popular database, which is very straightforward to monitor with a simple Prometheus exporter. Like all databases, SQL Server has many points of failure, such as delays in transactions or too many connections in the database. We are basing this guide on Golden Signals, a reduced set of metrics that offer a wide view of a service from a user or consumer perspective.
Dashboard Server: Working with the SQL tile
In my previous blogs in the Dashboard Server Learning Path, we looked at working with the Web API tile and the PowerShell tile. In this instalment, let’s try the SQL tile.

This tile is also available in both the SquaredUp for SCOM and Azure products, so I have some familiarity with it already.
