This repository provides SQL scripts and a stored procedure designed to monitor and optimize SQL Server performance. These tools offer insights into various aspects of SQL Server health, including database status, server metrics, backup information, job status, and more.
-
Health Check Script Using SQL Queries
- This script includes multiple SQL queries to retrieve vital information about the SQL Server environment.
- Queries cover:
- Database information (size, compatibility, recovery model)
- Server and instance status (hostname, version, edition, clustering)
- Disk status (free space, total space, occupied space)
- Database backup information (latest backup details)
- SQL job status (next run date, last run date, status)
- Performance metrics (CPU utilization, memory usage, long-running queries, blocked processes)
-
Stored Procedure
- Encapsulates all queries from the health check script into a single executable unit.
- Streamlines the process of generating comprehensive health reports.
- Ensures consistency and ease of use across different SQL Server instances.
- Open and execute the script in SQL Server Management Studio (SSMS) connected to the target SQL Server instance.
- Review the results to assess the health and performance metrics of the SQL Server environment.
- Execute the stored procedure in SSMS to automate the generation of health check reports.
- Customize parameters within the stored procedure as needed (e.g., database thresholds, performance metrics).
- Ensure appropriate permissions are granted to execute these scripts on the SQL Server instance.
- Regularly monitor and review the generated reports to proactively manage SQL Server performance and health.
By using these scripts and stored procedures, you can effectively monitor and optimize your SQL Server environment, ensuring high performance and reliability.
