4. Resource Governor Monitor and manage the workloads on your SQL Server system Enterprise Edition feature only Control CPU and memory usage specifically Works well with applications of similar requirements System Monitor Counters available DAC connection not subject to resource governor

5. Resource Governor Components Resource Pools represents the physical resources of the server Internal and default Workload Groups serves as a container for session requests that are similar Classification Function a set of user-written criteria contained in a function.

6. Demonstration Using Resource Governor

7. Demonstration Integrating Performance Monitor with SQL Server Profiler

8. Policy Based Management enforce the configuration of SQL Server on all editions for single instance Enterprise and Standard for multiple instances Can be used to centrally managed multiple servers Can export and import policies Can evaluate policies

9. Policy Based Management Components ComponentDescription PolicyA SQL object that holds the information required to enforce a policy FacetA facet is an object within a policy that is used to represent a SQL Server component TargetA SQL Server object such as an Instance or a database to which the policy is applied to ConditionSpecifies a set of allowed states of a Policy-Based Management managed target with regard to a facet.

10. How Policies are enforce Manually Scheduled On change prevent – (DDL triggers) On change log only – (event notifications)

11. Demonstration Policy Based Management

12. Performance Data Collector Stores information about different sets of data across your database servers Stored in a relational database known as a management data warehouse. Displays reports about queries, system and disk usage. Custom performance data collectors can be created

13. Data collector components ComponentDescription TargetAn instance of the Database Engine used to manage performance data collector (PDC) Target typeObject that the PDC collects information (instance, database) data providerProvides data connection information for the PDC collector typeSSIS packages used to collect and upload performance data collection itemAn instence of a collector types used to collect information collection setA collection set is a unit of data collection that a user can interact with collection modeThe manner in which the data is collected and stored management data warehouse A relational database used to store collected data

14. Create a Management Data Warehouse Wizard driven Create Logins and Map Them to Data Collector Roles specific roles for data collection and management data warehouse tasks Configure the Management Data Warehouse Create an new database or use an existing database Create Proxies proxies can be used for data collection and upload to the Data Management Warehouse

15. Disk Usage Activity collection sets This collection set gathers the following data: Snapshots of data file sizes obtained from sys.partitions and sys.allocation_units. Snapshots of log file sizes obtained from DBCC SQLPERF (LOGSPACE). Snapshots of I/O statistics from sys.dm_io_virtual_file_stats.

16. Server Activity collection sets This collection sets collects data samples from the following sources: sys.dm_os_wait_stats sys.dm_os_latch_stats sys.dm_os_schedulers sys.dm_exec_sessions, sys.dm_exec_requests, sys.dm_os_waiting_tasks (using a joined query) sys.dm_os_process_memory sys.dm_os_memory_nodes

17. Query Activity collection sets Query Statistics collection set gathers data about query statistics and individual query text, query plans, and specific queries

18. Custom Data Collectors Have the ability to create your own Use SQL Server Profiler
