- 1 Dashboards: 'MSSQL'
- 1 Label: 'mssql'
- 1 Bucket: 'mssql'
- 1 Variable: 'mssqlType'
General instructions on using InfluxDB Templates can be found in the use a template document.
Telegraf Configuration requires the following environment variables
- `INFLUX_TOKEN` - The token with the permissions to read Telegraf configs and write data to the `telegraf` bucket. You can just use your operator token to get started.
- `INFLUX_ORG` - The name of your Organization.
- `INFLUX_HOST` - The address of you InfluxDB
- `INFLUX_BUCKET` - The name of the Bucket. If you going to use the bucket included, you need to export the variable. Ex: <code>INFLUX_BUCKET=mssql</code>
The template can be used to monitor SQL database service in Azure.
Proceed with the general instructions above. Download the Telegraf config and set up the following:
servers = [
"Server=DBHOST.database.windows.net;Port=1433;User Id=DBUSER;Password=DBPSWD;app name=DBNAME;log=1;",
]
azuredb = true
Use the mssqlType variable to see data inside the Wait Time and Wait Tasks dashboard cells.
Note: Windows CPU metrics will not work if you point dashboard at SQL Database Service in Azure.
