Measures reported by SQLResponseTest

The responsiveness of a database to SQL queries is not only indicative of the health of the database server, but also the efficiency of the queries. A well-tuned database is one that quickly responds to SQL queries, and a well-built SQL query is one that succeeds in retrieving the desired results from the database and that too, in record time. The SQLResponseTest monitors SQL queries from start to finish, and reports the status of the query execution and its responsiveness. This way, administrators are proactively notified of failed queries and queries that take too long to execute, so that root-cause diagnosis is instantly inititated.

Measurement Description Measurement Unit Interpretation
Query_status Indicates whether the configured query has been successfully executed Boolean The value of 1 indicates successful execution, and 0 indicates failure. In case of query failure, you can use the detailed diagnosis of this measure, if enabled, to view the errors that caused the query to fail; troubleshooting thus becomes easier.
Response_time Indicates the time taken to execute the query and retrieve results Secs An abnormally high value is a cause for concern, and warrants further investigation.
