Update sqlserver readme; enable query_version = 2 in default config 

If unset, query_version is still treated as version 1 for compatibility.

# SQL Server plugin
# SQL Server Input Plugin
This sqlserver plugin provides metrics for your SQL Server instance. It currently works with SQL Server versions 2008+. Recorded metrics are lightweight and use Dynamic Management Views supplied by SQL Server.
The `sqlserver` plugin provides metrics for your SQL Server instance. It
currently works with SQL Server versions 2008+. Recorded metrics are
lightweight and use Dynamic Management Views supplied by SQL Server.
## Getting started :
### Additional Setup:
You have to create a login on every instance you want to monitor, with following script:
```SQL
USE master;
```sql
USE master;
GO
CREATE LOGIN [telegraf] WITH PASSWORD = N'mystrongpassword';
GO
GRANT VIEW SERVER STATE TO [telegraf];
GRANT VIEW SERVER STATE TO [telegraf];
GO
GRANT VIEW ANY DEFINITION TO [telegraf];
GRANT VIEW ANY DEFINITION TO [telegraf];
GO
```
### Configuration:
## Configuration:
```
```toml
# Read metrics from Microsoft SQL Server
[[inputs.sqlserver]]
# Specify instances to monitor with a list of connection strings.
# All connection parameters are optional.
# By default, the host is localhost, listening on default port, TCP 1433.
# for Windows, the user is the currently running AD user (SSO).
# See https://github.com/denisenkom/go-mssqldb for detailed connection
# parameters.
servers = [
"Server=192.168.1.10;Port=1433;User Id=<user>;Password=<pw>;app name=telegraf;log=1;",

# of the collection queries that break compatibility with the original
# dashboards.
query_version = 2
# If you are using AzureDB, setting this to True will gather resource utilization metrics

# If you would like to exclude some of the metrics queries, list them here
# Possible choices:
# - PerformanceCounters
# - WaitStatsCategorized
# - DatabaseIO
# - DatabaseProperties
# - CPUHistory
# - DatabaseSize
# - DatabaseStats
# - MemoryClerk
# - VolumeSpace
# - PerformanceMetrics

# Metrics Collected
To provide backwards compatibility, this plugin support two versions of metrics queries.
The original metrics queries provide:
* *Performance counters*: 1000+ metrics from `sys.dm_os_performance_counters`
* *Performance metrics*: special performance and ratio metrics
* *Wait stats*: wait tasks categorized from `sys.dm_os_wait_stats`
* *Memory clerk*: memory breakdown from `sys.dm_os_memory_clerks`
* *Database size*: databases size trend from `sys.dm_io_virtual_file_stats`
* *Database IO*: databases I/O from `sys.dm_io_virtual_file_stats`
* *Database latency*: databases latency from `sys.dm_io_virtual_file_stats`
* *Database properties*: databases properties, state and recovery model, from `sys.databases`
* *OS Volume*: available, used and total space from `sys.dm_os_volume_stats`
* *CPU*: cpu usage from `sys.dm_os_ring_buffers`
The new (version 2) metrics provide:
* *AzureDB*: AzureDB resource utilization from `sys.dm_db_resource_stats`
* *Database IO*: IO stats from `sys.dm_io_virtual_file_stats`
* *Memory Clerk*: Memory clerk breakdown from `sys.dm_os_memory_clerks`, most clerks have been given a friendly name.
* *Performance Counters*: A select list of performance counters from `sys.dm_os_performance_counters`. Some of the important metrics included:
* *Activity*: Transactions/sec/database, Batch requests/sec, blocked processes, + more
* *Availability Groups*: Bytes sent to replica, Bytes received from replica, Log bytes received, Log send queue, transaction delay, + more
* *Log activity*: Log bytes flushed/sec, Log flushes/sec, Log Flush Wait Time
* *Memory*: PLE, Page reads/sec, Page writes/sec, + more
* *TempDB*: Free space, Version store usage, Active temp tables, temp table creation rate, + more
* *Resource Governor*: CPU Usage, Requests/sec, Queued Requests, and Blocked tasks per workload group
* *Server properties*: Number of databases in all possible states (online, offline, suspect, etc.), cpu count, physical memory, SQL Server service uptime, and SQL Server version
* *Wait stats*: Wait time in ms, number of waiting tasks, resource wait time, signal wait time, max wait time in ms, wait type, and wait category. The waits are categorized using the sasme categories used in Query Store.
### Metrics:
To provide backwards compatibility, this plugin support two versions of metrics queries.
**Note**: Version 2 queries are not backwards compatible with the old queries. Any dashboards or queries based on the old query format will not work with the new format. The version 2 queries are written in such a way as to only gather SQL specific metrics (no disk space or overall CPU related metrics) and they only report raw metrics, no math has been done to calculate deltas. To graph this data you must calculate deltas in your dashboarding software.
# Tags
If you are using the original queries all stats have the following tags:
* `servername`: hostname:instance
* `type`: type of stats to easily filter measurements
#### Version 1 (deprecated in 1.6):
The original metrics queries provide:
- *Performance counters*: 1000+ metrics from `sys.dm_os_performance_counters`
- *Performance metrics*: special performance and ratio metrics
- *Wait stats*: wait tasks categorized from `sys.dm_os_wait_stats`
- *Memory clerk*: memory breakdown from `sys.dm_os_memory_clerks`
- *Database size*: databases size trend from `sys.dm_io_virtual_file_stats`
- *Database IO*: databases I/O from `sys.dm_io_virtual_file_stats`
- *Database latency*: databases latency from `sys.dm_io_virtual_file_stats`
- *Database properties*: databases properties, state and recovery model, from `sys.databases`
- *OS Volume*: available, used and total space from `sys.dm_os_volume_stats`
- *CPU*: cpu usage from `sys.dm_os_ring_buffers`
Version 2 queries all have the following:
* `host`: Physical host name
* `sql_instance`: Physical host and instance name (hostname:instance)
If you are using the original queries all stats have the following tags:
- `servername`: hostname:instance
- `type`: type of stats to easily filter measurements
#### Version 2:
The new (version 2) metrics provide:
- *AzureDB*: AzureDB resource utilization from `sys.dm_db_resource_stats`
- *Database IO*: IO stats from `sys.dm_io_virtual_file_stats`
- *Memory Clerk*: Memory clerk breakdown from `sys.dm_os_memory_clerks`, most clerks have been given a friendly name.
- *Performance Counters*: A select list of performance counters from `sys.dm_os_performance_counters`. Some of the important metrics included:
- *Activity*: Transactions/sec/database, Batch requests/sec, blocked processes, + more
- *Availability Groups*: Bytes sent to replica, Bytes received from replica, Log bytes received, Log send queue, transaction delay, + more
- *Log activity*: Log bytes flushed/sec, Log flushes/sec, Log Flush Wait Time
- *Memory*: PLE, Page reads/sec, Page writes/sec, + more
- *TempDB*: Free space, Version store usage, Active temp tables, temp table creation rate, + more
- *Resource Governor*: CPU Usage, Requests/sec, Queued Requests, and Blocked tasks per workload group
- *Server properties*: Number of databases in all possible states (online, offline, suspect, etc.), cpu count, physical memory, SQL Server service uptime, and SQL Server version
- *Wait stats*: Wait time in ms, number of waiting tasks, resource wait time, signal wait time, max wait time in ms, wait type, and wait category. The waits are categorized using the sasme categories used in Query Store.
Version 2 queries have the following tags:
- `host`: Physical host name
- `sql_instance`: Physical host and instance name (hostname:instance)
