+# SQL Server 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:
+```
+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
+```
+
+You must create a login on every instance you want to monitor, with following script:
+```SQL 
+USE master; 
+GO
+CREATE LOGIN [telegraf] WITH PASSWORD = N'mystrongpassword';
+GO
+GRANT VIEW SERVER STATE TO [telegraf]; 
+GO
+GRANT VIEW ANY DEFINITION TO [telegraf]; 
+GO
+```
