Visualize the timeline of your SQL jobs using Google graph and email

    As requested, i made a quick standalone port of my Cpuload Warning graph query as a base for tweaking by you guys.

    http://www.ekelmans.com/FTP/Web/GoogleCpuLoadInfoV1.0.sql

    And a new version of the script in the article: http://www.ekelmans.com/FTP/Web/GoogleJobTimelineV1.2.sql

    Have fun with it....

    Theo

    Theo, this is wonderful!

    You've actually sparked me to modify some of this to suit other business-case uses. For example, I've created a datapull to a Google Graph Calendar that shows ticket counts by day.

    This will probably open up a good business intelligence path for me to wander down for a bit. Here's a screenshot of the HTML file I got:

    Now I just need to add some drilldowns and procedurally host this on an internal website...

    WOW !!!!

    Talking about sparking ideas! I did not know you could do that with the calender control 🙂

    Your printscreen made me think of some uses of my own!

    If the code is shareable and you are willing i would love to have a template of the code.

    Grtz,

    Theo

  • As someone above me said: this is why I keep coming back to SSC!

  • Hi Guys,

    A tip based on feedback of bmergen77, do *not* use apostrophs ' in JOB names, that breaks the script and you end up with an unrenderable HTML.

    Grtz,

    Theo

  • Hi Theo,

    "Geweldig gedaan!!":cool:

    and Thanks for this script.

    Is it also possible to generate this Graph for ... let's say a weekly overview

    and then grouped per day 0:00 - 0:00 hrs?

    Grtz

    Martijn

  • Bedankt Martijn 🙂

    What do you mean, like averaging runtimes per job over a week/month?

  • You now have a Graph for the period you set at the beginning of the script... If you change the period, you only see it in 1 graph the whole period.

    What I like to see is a period of 1 week grouped per day, and every day below each other.

    I have a few daily jobs. If the day starts at 0:00 and ends at 23:59 then you can see if jobs running slower at a certain point of time... and If you want to plan an new Job you can see which timeslots are free...

  • Good idea, i'll tweak my script so it generates one graph per day if you specify a date range > 1 day.

    Grtz,t

  • WOW !!!!

    Here's a pastebin.

    http://pastebin.com/w9EPkn8e

    ...and here's the documentation on the calendar.

    https://developers.google.com/chart/interactive/docs/gallery/calendar

    Most of what you originally posted is still there. I've commented the important parts on how to format your query.

    I'm still toying with pulling in drilldown data.

  • Very cool, thanks for this.

  • Thanks for the article. I applied it to my backup monitoring process written in PowerShell. Using Google Charts I was able to create a nice custom HTML email attachment that shows database growth over a period of time.

  • And again a new version based on some feedback by the community"

    A multi day version of the script (1 timeline per 24 hours, stacked on top of each other)

    Download link: http://www.ekelmans.com/FTP/Web/GoogleJobTimelineV2.0.sql

    Enjoy, Theo.

  • Thanks! I will check it out after my 2 weeks off....

  • Hi Theo,

    Thanks for the script!

    it's running great and certainly going to use it

  • When using case-sensitive collation, the following line results in error:

    Msg 207, Level 16, State 1, Line 273

    Invalid column name 'html'.

    Changing 'html' to 'HTML' resolves the error:

    --****************************************************************************************

    -- Output HTML page - copy output & pastte to a .HTML file and open with google chrome

    --****************************************************************************************

    if @ReturnRecocordset = 1

    select HTML from ##GoogleGraph order by ID

    There's also a misspelling in @ReturnRecocordset, although it doesn't really hurt anything.

  • And here is the latest multi day version with the correct case this time (thx to alpinetrout)
