Monitoring and Troubleshooting Azure SQL

This document describes important metrics and queries that you can use to monitor and troubleshoot Azure SQL.

Database CPU, Memory and Storage

CPU

Use the following query to get the percentage of CPU used by the database:

azure_sql_servers_databases_cpu_percent_avg

For vCore-based databases, there are also metrics for CPU cores used and limit:

azure_sql_servers_databases_cpu_used_avg

azure_sql_servers_databases_cpu_limit_avg

Storage

Use the following query to get the allocated data storage. This query is not applicable to data warehouses:

azure_sql_servers_databases_cpu_percent_avg

Use the following query to get the data space used (not applicable to data warehouses):

azure_sql_servers_databases_storage_avg

Use the following query to get the percentage of data space used. This query is not applicable to data warehouses or hyperscale databases:

azure_sql_servers_databases_storage_percent_avg

Serverless Databases

Use the following query to get the app CPU billed:

azure_sql_servers_databases_app_cpu_billed_sum

Use the following query to get the app CPU percentage:

azure_sql_servers_databases_app_cpu_percent_avg

Use the following query to get the app memory percentage:

azure_sql_servers_databases_app_memory_percent_avg

IO, tempdb and In-Memory OLTP

IO

Use the following query to get the percentage of write IO:

azure_sql_servers_databases_log_write_percent_avg

Use the following query to get the percentage of read IO:

azure_sql_servers_databases_physical_data_read_percent_avg

Tempdb

Use the following query to get the space used in tempdb data files in kilobytes. This query is not applicable to data warehouses:

azure_sql_servers_databases_tempdb_data_size_avg

Use the following query to get the space used in tempdb transaction log file in kilobytes. This query is not applicable to data warehouses:

azure_sql_servers_databases_tempdb_log_size_avg

In-Memory OLTP

Use the following query to get the In-Memory OLTP storage percent (not applicable to data warehouses):

azure_sql_servers_databases_xtp_storage_percent_avg

SQL Server

Resources

Use the following query to get the CPU usage as a percentage of the SQL DB process. This query is not applicable to data warehouses:

azure_sql_servers_databases_sqlserver_process_core_percent_avg

Use the following query to get the Memory usage as a percentage of the SQL DB process. This query is not applicable to data warehouses:

azure_sql_servers_databases_sqlserver_process_memory_percent_avg

Workers

Use the following query to get the workers percentage. This query is not applicable to data warehouses:

azure_sql_servers_databases_workers_percent_avg

Network

Sessions

Use the following query to get the sessions percentage:

azure_sql_servers_databases_sessions_percent_avg

Use the following query to get the number of active sessions. This query is not applicable to Synapse DW analytics:
