Would anyone be kind enough to share how they've managed to monitor their MS SQL database(s)? I currently have a MS SQL 2005 server I'd like to monitor!
I have the device under /Server/Windows/WMI/MSSQLServer and the graphs for CPU Utilization, Memory Utilization, Memory Paging, and Paging File Usage are displaying nicely BUT the SQL based graphs are empty (MS SQL- Buffer Manager, MS SQL-User Connections, MS SQL-Lock rates, etc.).
I didn't see anything in the Configuration Properties where I could set-up monitoring of the database like I would with MySQL databases so I started searching for help and I've seen users install the MsSQLMon, RDBMS, and SQLDataSource Zenpacks which I have done so successfully. I also have the zenperfsql daemon running. Now I see a zMsSqlConnectionString and zMsSqlSrvInstances in the Configuration Properties.
So my question is where do I go from here? Do I have to add a local template or was it even necessary for me to install those additional zenpacks?
