Make a CPU usage Report

  • Hello I am trying to build my own SQL monitor reports. Currently do not have funds to buy a third party app.

    I would like to have a SQL Agent job that captures the CPU and RAM at that moment and dump the information into a baseline table so I can make a report off it the data.

    Can anyone please point me in the right direction for this?

    I like this Query but not sure how to modify it to get it into a table.

    DECLARE @ts_now BIGINT

    SELECT @ts_now = cpu_ticks / CONVERT(FLOAT, cpu_ticks_in_ms) FROM sys.dm_os_sys_info

    SELECT record_id,

    DATEADD(ms, -1 * (@ts_now - [timestamp]), GETDATE()) AS EventTime,

    SQLProcessUtilization,

    SystemIdle,

    100 - SystemIdle - SQLProcessUtilization AS OtherProcessUtilization

    FROM (

    SELECT

    record.value('(./Record/@id)[1]', 'int') AS record_id,

    record.value('(./Record/SchedulerMonitorEvent/SystemHealth/SystemIdle)[1]', 'int') AS SystemIdle,

    record.value('(./Record/SchedulerMonitorEvent/SystemHealth/ProcessUtilization)[1]', 'int') AS SQLProcessUtilization,

    TIMESTAMP

    FROM (

    SELECT TIMESTAMP, CONVERT(XML, record) AS record

    FROM sys.dm_os_ring_buffers

    WHERE ring_buffer_type = N'RING_BUFFER_SCHEDULER_MONITOR'

    AND record LIKE '% %') AS x

    ) AS y

    ORDER BY record_id DESC

  • I have moved my article on SQL performance dashboards over to codeplex - check it out

  • This is perfect!!!! Thank you so much for sharing this. Great Article and reports.

    I cant thank you enough.

  • If you want to monitor SQL Server or diagnose MANY issues, you MUST get Glenn Berry's SQL Server Diagnostics Scripts.

    here is a spiffy query from there to see CPU history for the last 256 minutes:

    -- Get CPU Utilization History for last 256 minutes (in one minute intervals) (Query 35) (CPU Utilization History)

    -- This version works with SQL Server 2012

    DECLARE @ts_now bigint = (SELECT cpu_ticks/(cpu_ticks/ms_ticks) FROM sys.dm_os_sys_info WITH (NOLOCK));

    SELECT TOP(256) SQLProcessUtilization AS [SQL Server Process CPU Utilization],

    SystemIdle AS [System Idle Process],

    100 - SystemIdle - SQLProcessUtilization AS [Other Process CPU Utilization],

    DATEADD(ms, -1 * (@ts_now - [timestamp]), GETDATE()) AS [Event Time]

    FROM (SELECT record.value('(./Record/@id)[1]', 'int') AS record_id,

    record.value('(./Record/SchedulerMonitorEvent/SystemHealth/SystemIdle)[1]', 'int')

    AS [SystemIdle],

    record.value('(./Record/SchedulerMonitorEvent/SystemHealth/ProcessUtilization)[1]', 'int')

    AS [SQLProcessUtilization], [timestamp]

    FROM (SELECT [timestamp], CONVERT(xml, record) AS [record]

    FROM sys.dm_os_ring_buffers WITH (NOLOCK)

    WHERE ring_buffer_type = N'RING_BUFFER_SCHEDULER_MONITOR'

    AND record LIKE N'%<SystemHealth>%') AS x) AS y

    ORDER BY record_id DESC OPTION (RECOMPILE);

  • DISREGARD- I found my problem.

    Hello, BLOB_EATER I am trying to make this work me my environment. But I am having problems getting it to work. But I am getting this error

    The report I am trying to run is the Performance_dashboard_main_CMS.

    From the Server Name dropdown. I do not see my Server that I want to monitor. I ran the Script on that server and it is added to the CMS in a server group.

    Can you please help?
