Although the technical details of a SQL Health Check are complex under the hood, the process is relatively simple with the help of one of our SQL experts. Here are the following steps:
We run many, many specialized queries against the SQL instance to collect internal information about SQL Server’s health. For example, SQL records all resources it spends time waiting on. Some of the codes returned are “idle queues” while other codes indicate types of CPU, Disk/IO, Network, Memory, locking problems.
In SQL Server 2019, I counted 1,843 different codes that Microsoft uses to classify WaitStats in their documentation. Some of these codes are for internal use, some of these codes are idle and should be ignored, like when SQL is checking a queue for work to do, and other codes indicate a problem. This is just one of many, many things we look at to determine the problem area within SQL Server and to come up with a solution to improve performance.
Once we collect the core information, then we can correlate the information to determine the solution to SQL’s largest reported problem area. For example, if CPU is determined to be SQL Server’s constraint, then we look at CPU hardware model numbers, VM configuration, parallel query configuration and ultimately, which queries are consuming the most CPU in the system – along with tons of other metrics.
If the limiting factor on your SQL Server is IO, then we look at completely different codes and metrics to determine the solution to the biggest problem. Once our SQL experts understand the problem area well, we can work on a remediation plan and how extensive we think it’ll be to resolve and get a meaningful positive impact with tuning. Then we can provide a remediation estimate.
After the complex and time-consuming work is done, the last step is to have a consulting meeting with you and your team of SQL experts to review the findings. This is a discussion where we decipher complex concepts and explain them in a way that is a bit easier to understand. This allows us to communicate how severe the problem is and how urgent it should be prioritized for remediation. In fact, our report categorizes the issues in High, Medium, and Best Practice classifications to help you see what should be focused on first.
