Support for Microsoft SQL Server has been introduced to Metricbeat, a tool used to capture database metrics, as part of its generally available modules. This addition includes two new beta metricsets—performance and transaction_log—alongside curated dashboards in Kibana to help users navigate SQL Server metrics. The performance metricset tracks crucial indicators like user connections, transactions, and cache hits, important for assessing server efficiency. Meanwhile, the transaction_log metricset provides insight into server log space usage and backup times, aiding in diagnostics and performance understanding. Setting up the SQL Server monitoring module is made user-friendly through Kibana's "Add Data UI," allowing users to configure and activate the module and access dashboards for detailed database views. This enhancement aims to streamline the monitoring process for Microsoft SQL Server users, encouraging them to deploy the Metricbeat module for improved server oversight.
