Management Data Warehouse

  • Hello All,

    I have setup a MDW and it was working fine until recently. Now I get No Data Available. How do I troubleshoot it?

    Thanks.

    Hello All,

    I have setup a MDW and it was working fine until recently. Now I get No Data Available. How do I troubleshoot it?

    Thanks.

    Honestly you simply stop using it. I have never, ever heard of a single entity using this mess and it should never have been done by the SQL Server product team in the first place IMNSHO. :crying:

    There are very solid free, cheap and expensive options for monitoring SQL Server.

  • Can you list some of them?

  • sp_whoisactive can be put into a table and track/trend

    Glenn Berry's SQL Server Diagnostics scripts have lots of things you can store in a table and track/trend (file IO stalls and wait stats are the most important things to keep an eye on obviously).

    Redgate and ApexSQL have what I will term "value" monitoring tools, although Redgate's has become quite capable.

    SQL Sentry, Dell (formerly Quest Doftware), Idera have more up-market/complex/expensive tools.

    Someone on SSC.com just realeased version two of their baseline performance collector that at first glance I really liked.

    Steve Steadman has a freebie I have been watching develop for some time now. Quite impressive.

    SCOM has a SQL Server pack.

    I am sure there are plenty I didn't mention.

    MDW needs to be completely disabled and removed from your life. 🙂

  • If you want basic dashboard capability have a look at what I setup over on codeplex.
