Server Dashboards in Azure Data Studio

  • Comments posted to this topic are about the item Server Dashboards in Azure Data Studio

  • Hi Steve, very useful posts around ADS, however, when I fire my ADS for a 2k16 SQL, in the monitoring part I have no "Server Reports" nor tempdb as you can notice in the screenshot. Is it something that I need to configure? Thanks in advance for your help

  • Good Stuff.  There were a couple of the queries that didn't run against my Synapse instance.  "can't convert to int".  I had to cast some of the columns to bigints.

    The thing that I can't figure out are the two buttons for Estimated Plan and Enable Actual Plan.

    If you assassinate a DBA, would you pull a trigger?

    What is under "Home" on the left? That's where my server reports are.

    That is not surprising. Synapse != SQL Server, and some stuff breaks. However, you can edit and likely create reports that work on both. You can certainly file a bug here: https://github.com/microsoft/azuredatastudio/issues

  • Hi Steve, no reports under home and not sure why I have sp_whoisactive in monitoring

    sp_whoisactive is probably the most useful utility query ever written,  Packaging that is great move by MS.  https://whoisactive.com/

    That dashboard will return nothing for sp_whoisactive unless it's been installed on your instance. With a "normal" SQL Server installation you would install that into the master database.

    In an Azure SQL Database, you would need to install it in each database.  I am not sure if it will run in an Azure SQL Database.

    In an Azure SQL Managed Instance, it would be installed in the master. I am not sure if it will run though.

    It will not work in Azure Synapse.

  • Ah, I realized I had an extension added. I'll update the article with this.

    2024-01-31 08_00_22-Extension_ Server Reports - Azure Data Studio

    Likely you added the sp_whoisactive extension

    2024-01-31 08_00_31-Extension_ whoisactive - Azure Data Studio
