Azure SQL Servers (built-in)
For information about differences between built-in services and other services, see Migrate from Azure built-in services to cloud services.
Dynatrace ingests metrics from Azure Metrics API for Azure SQL (SQL Servers, SQL Databases, SQL Elastic Pools). You can view metrics for each service instance, split metrics into multiple dimensions, and create custom charts that you can pin to your dashboards.
Prerequisites
Environment ActiveGate
To disable monitoring of built-in services you need Environment ActiveGate version 1.245+ and Dynatrace version 1.247+
Enable monitoring
To learn how to enable service monitoring, see Enable service monitoring.
View service metrics
You can view Azure service metrics in your Dynatrace environment on the Azure subscription page or on your own dashboard.
View metrics on the Azure account page
To access metrics on the Azure account page
-
In the Dynatrace menu, go to Azure.
-
Choose the Azure subscription.
-
Select the service whose metrics you want to check. Metrics for the selected service are visible under the infographic in the service section, similarly to the example below.
View metrics on a dashboard
You can create your own dashboard for viewing Azure service metrics. For information on how to create dashboards, see Create and edit Dynatrace dashboards.
Available metrics
This service monitors SQL Servers, SQL Databases (only containing the "user" kind) and SQL Elastic Pools. You can find the already monitored resources on the Azure overview page, in the Databases components section. To monitor resources of the hyperscale/datawarehouse types, check the SQL Database Hyperscale/SQL Data Warehouse and the Azure overview Cloud services section.
