Why are few database metrics in Database tab showing empty values in MS SQL monitor?
Before Applications Manager version 13910, We were showing high-level metrics for MS SQL monitor's Database usage from SQL server performance counters.
But from Applications Manager version 13910, We are showing detailed usage of Data files & Log files(Database Disk Utilization), VLF Details, DBCC Information, Mirroring Details which requires connection with each database present in the SQL server with db_datareader permission. Please refer our prerequisites link regarding permissions. In case the SQL user used for monitoring doesn't have the mentioned permission either to connect to the respective database or execute the data collection query then the particular database metrics will be shown as empty in Database page.
This issue will be solved by giving proper permission on each database
How to switch to Old view of Database page?
In case you are in latest version (above 13900) and you dont want to provide
db_datareader
permission for each database then you can switch back to the old view by enabling the below key. Connect to Applications Manager backend database and execute the below query.
UPDATE AM_GlobalConfig SET VALUE='true' WHERE NAME='updateOldVersionModelForMSSQLDBDetails'
Restart the build and check the Database tab.
If you switch back to old UI then you will not be able to monitor the metrics of individual Data files & Log files(Database Disk Utilization), VLF Details, DBCC Information, Mirroring Details.
