eG Monitoring
 

Measures reported by SqlAzuResStTest

This test monitors how effectively the Microsoft SQL Azure database server utilizes the session and process resources it is configured with. If the maximum limit to which the resource allocation can grow is violated, it is bound to deteriorate the performance of the server, as the server might not have the bandwidth to handle the additional sessions/processes. Similarly, a potential DTU (Database Transaction Unit) limit breach by the database server can be proactively captured and averted.

Outputs of the test : One set of results for the target Microsoft SQL Azure database server being monitored.

The measures made by this test are as follows:

Measurement Description Measurement Unit Interpretation
Average_CPU_usage Indicates the average compute utilization in percentage of the limit of the service tier of the database instance. Percent  
Average_data_IO_usage Indicates the average I/O utilization in percentage based on the limit of the service tier of the database instance. Percent  
Average_memory Indicates the average memory utilization in percentage of the limit of the service tier of the database instance. Percent  
Average_of_log_write Indicates the average resource utilized in percentage for writes of the limit of the service tier of the database instance. Percent  
Curent_DTU_limit Indicates the current maximum database DTU setting in percentage for the database instance during this interval. Percent  
DTU_Used Indicates the percentage of DTU utilized by the database instance. Percent  
Workers_percentage Indicates the maximum concurrent workers (requests) in percentage of the limit of the service tier of the database instance. Percent  
Sessions_percentage Indicates the maximum concurrent sessions in percentage of the limit of the service tier of the database instance. Percent
