# Template DB MSSQL by ODBC

## Overview

For Zabbix version: 5.0 and higher  
The template is developed for monitoring DBMS Microsoft SQL Server via ODBC.

This template was tested on:

- Microsoft SQL, version 2017, 2019

## Setup

> See [Zabbix template operation](https://www.zabbix.com/documentation/5.0/manual/config/templates_out_of_the_box/odbc_checks) for basic instructions.

1. Create an MSSQL user for monitoring. For example, zbx_monitor.  
  **View Server State** and **View Any Definition** permissions should be granted to the user.  
  Grant this user read permissions to the sysjobschedules, sysjobhistory, sysjobs tables.  
  For example, using T-SQL commands:  
  `GRANT SELECT ON OBJECT::msdb.dbo.sysjobs TO zbx_monitor`  
  `GRANT SELECT ON OBJECT::msdb.dbo.sysjobservers TO zbx_monitor`  
  `GRANT SELECT ON OBJECT::msdb.dbo.sysjobactivity TO zbx_monitor`  
  `GRANT EXECUTE ON OBJECT::msdb.dbo.agent_datetime TO zbx_monitor`  
  For more information, see MSSQL documentation:  
    [Create a database user](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sql/relational-databases/security/authentication-access/create-a-database-user?view=sql-server-ver15)  
    [GRANT Server Permissions](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sql/t-sql/statements/grant-server-permissions-transact-sql?view=sql-server-ver15)  
    [Configure a User to Create and Manage SQL Server Agent Jobs](https://docs.microsoft.com/ru-ru/sql/ssms/agent/configure-a-user-to-create-and-manage-sql-server-agent-jobs?view=sql-server-ver15)  
2. Set the username and password in host macros ({$MSSQL.USER} and {$MSSQL.PASSWORD}).  
  Do not forget to install Microsoft ODBC driver on Zabbix server or Zabbix proxy.  
  See Microsoft documentation for instructions: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sql/connect/odbc/linux-mac/installing-the-microsoft-odbc-driver-for-sql-server?view=sql-server-ver15.  
  **Note! Credentials in the odbc.ini do not work for MSSQL.**  

For named instance set the value of {$MSSQL.INSTANCE} macro as MSSQL$instance name.
In case if MSSQL was installed using default configuration do not change {$MSSQL.INSTANCE} macro value.

The "Service's TCP port state" item uses {HOST.CONN} and {$MSSQL.PORT} macros to check the availability of MSSQL instance.
If your instance uses a non-default TCP port, set the port in your section of odbc.ini in the line Server = IP or FQDN name, port.


## Zabbix configuration

No specific Zabbix configuration is required.

|MSSQL |MSSQL: Full scans per second |<p>Number of unrestricted full scans per second. These can be either base-table or full-index scans. Values greater than 1 or 2 indicate that there are table / Index page scans. If that is combined with high CPU, this counter requires further investigation, otherwise, if the full scans are on small tables, it can be ignored.</p> |DEPENDENT |mssql.full_scans_sec.rate<p>**Preprocessing**:</p><p>- JSONPATH: `$[?(@.object_name=='{$MSSQL.INSTANCE}:Access Methods' && @.counter_name=='Full Scans/sec')].cntr_value.first()`</p><p>- CHANGE_PER_SECOND |

|MSSQL |MSSQL: Buffer cache hit ratio |<p>Indicates the percentage of pages found in the buffer cache without having to read from disk. The ratio is the total number of cache hits divided by the total number of cache lookups over the last few thousand page accesses. After a long period of time, the ratio changes very little. Since reading from the cache is much less expensive than reading from the disk, a higher value is preferred for this item. To increase the buffer cache hit ratio, consider increasing the amount of memory available to SQL Server or using the buffer pool extension feature.</p> |DEPENDENT |mssql.buffer_cache_hit_ratio<p>**Preprocessing**:</p><p>- JSONPATH: `$[?(@.object_name=='{$MSSQL.INSTANCE}:Buffer Manager' && @.counter_name=='BufferCacheHitRatio')].cntr_value.first()`</p> |

|MSSQL |MSSQL: Lazy writes per second |<p>Indicates the number of buffers written per second by the buffer manager's lazy writer. The lazy writer is a system process that flushes out batches of dirty, aged buffers (buffers that contain changes that must be written back to disk before the buffer can be reused for a different page) and makes them available to user processes. The lazy writer eliminates the need to perform frequent checkpoints in order to create available buffers.</p> |DEPENDENT |mssql.lazy_writes_sec.rate<p>**Preprocessing**:</p><p>- JSONPATH: `$[?(@.object_name=='{$MSSQL.INSTANCE}:Buffer Manager' && @.counter_name=='Lazy writes/sec')].cntr_value.first()`</p><p>- CHANGE_PER_SECOND |

|MSSQL |MSSQL: Page reads per second |<p>Indicates the number of physical database page reads that are issued per second. This statistic displays the total number of physical page reads across all databases. Because physical I/O is expensive, you may be able to minimize the cost, either by using a larger data cache, intelligent indexes, and more efficient queries, or by changing the database design.</p> |DEPENDENT |mssql.page_reads_sec.rate<p>**Preprocessing**:</p><p>- JSONPATH: `$[?(@.object_name=='{$MSSQL.INSTANCE}:Buffer Manager' && @.counter_name=='Page reads/sec')].cntr_value.first()`</p><p>- CHANGE_PER_SECOND |
