# 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 : some special performance metrics
|
|
Wait stats : list of wait tasks categorized from sys.dm_os_wait_stats
|
|
Memory clerk : memory breakdown from sys.dm_os_memory_clerks
|
|
Database size : database size trend, data and log file from sys.dm_io_virtual_file_stats
|
|
Database IO : database I/O from sys.dm_io_virtual_file_stats
|
|
Database latency : database reads and writes latency from sys.dm_io_virtual_file_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
|
|
```
