SQL Always On HA monitoring

Are there any plans to create a dedicated sensor for this? Im also looking for a way to check which DBs are being protected and which one is primary, secondary, what is the health of the cluster. Is there some Feature Request form?

Hi there,

there are no plans to create a native sensor for this at the moment. Let's see if more people request this sensor type so that we can consider to work on a new sensor type. Please have a look here to see how we handle your feature requests.

There are some useful guides available in the internet, this one might help you to create your own query.

Best regards, Felix

Hi, a sensor for monitoring AlwaysOn would be much appreciated. Veritas finally got around to support AlwaysOn in Netbackup so we are deploying it now. A sensor to monitor replication status for example would be very useful.

It would be really good if PRTG could aim to have similar functionality as https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff877954.aspx for monitoring MSSQL AlwaysOn.

Hi Olav,

The author of the article mentions, that the metrics are available via Performance Counters. Therefore, you can follow this article to create a PerfCounter Custom Sensor for the SQLServer:Availability Replica performance object.

One more request from us :)

Did you see Felix' reply? This one:

Did you already try that? Perhaps it already works fine for you :)

Need this sensor - very important on SQL AG Monitoring

Plus 1 for SQL AG monitoring and Distributed AG monitoring

It's very unlikely that this will be implemented I'm afraid. Too little demand among our customers :(

Hello Stephan. I really think you should reconsider making this sensor part of PRTG. Everyone who runs an SQL cluster would benefit from this.

@Michael
Would you mind posting this as an official feature request, since you likely know what metrics are important in that regard? Here's our Guide for Feature Requests. Thanks, much appreciated!

SQL AG monitoring and Distributed AG monitoring yet??

Did you guys check this out already? :)

I have created an MS SQL AG sensor if anyone is still interested

Is it possible to monitor MS SQL Always ON? When does such a method come?

Hello,

I'm afraid that there is no native sensor to monitor MS SQL Always ON solution. There is no plan yet to include such sensor in PRTG, therefore I invite you to check if a feature request is already opened and vote for it.

If there is no opened feature request yet, then please follow the procedure described here to open one for it.

Regards.

@ajturs How did you get it?

@ajturs

are you able to share your AG sensor?

we use the following and if it returns no rows we know there is a HA issue

select Master as Database

SELECT [synchronization_health]

FROM [master].[sys].[dm_hadr_availability_group_states] where [synchronization_health] = 2
