# MSSQL by Zabbix agent 2

## Overview

This template is designed for the effortless deployment of MSSQL monitoring by Zabbix via Zabbix agent 2 and doesn't require any external scripts.

## Requirements

Zabbix version: 7.2 and higher.

## Tested versions

This template has been tested on:
- Microsoft SQL, version 2019, 2022

## Configuration

> Zabbix should be configured according to the instructions in the [Templates out of the box](https://www.zabbix.com/documentation/7.2/manual/config/templates_out_of_the_box) section.

## Setup

1. Deploy Zabbix agent 2 with the MSSQL plugin. You can use this template starting with version 7.2.0 of Zabbix and 7.2.4 of the MSSQL plugin. For more information, see [MSSQL plugin documentation](https://git.zabbix.com/projects/AP/repos/mssql/browse).

**Important!** Starting with version 7.2-4 of this template, the MSSQL plugin must be updated to a version equal to or above 7.2.4. (You can check the version of the template in its YAML file under the "vendor" section.)

Loadable plugin requires installation of a separate package or binary file or [compilation from sources](https://www.zabbix.com/documentation/7.2/manual/extensions/plugins/build).

2. Create an MSSQL user for monitoring. For example, "zbx_monitor".

**View Server State** and **View Any Definition** permissions should be granted to the user.
Grant this user read permissions to the `sysjobschedules`, `sysjobhistory`, and `sysjobs` tables.

For example, using T-SQL commands:

```sql
GRANT SELECT ON OBJECT::msdb.dbo.sysjobs TO zbx_monitor;
GRANT SELECT ON OBJECT::msdb.dbo.sysjobservers TO zbx_monitor;
GRANT SELECT ON OBJECT::msdb.dbo.sysjobactivity TO zbx_monitor;
GRANT EXECUTE ON OBJECT::msdb.dbo.agent_datetime TO zbx_monitor;
```

For more information, see MSSQL documentation:

[Create a database user](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sql/relational-databases/security/authentication-access/create-a-database-user?view=sql-server-ver16)

[GRANT Server Permissions](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sql/t-sql/statements/grant-server-permissions-transact-sql?view=sql-server-ver16)

[Configure a User to Create and Manage SQL Server Agent Jobs](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sql/ssms/agent/configure-a-user-to-create-and-manage-sql-server-agent-jobs?view=sql-server-ver16)

3. Set the username and password in the host macros `{$MSSQL.USER}` and `{$MSSQL.PASSWORD}`.

4. Set the connection string for the MSSQL instance in the `{$MSSQL.URI}` macro as a URI, such as `<protocol://host:port>`, or specify the named session - `<sessionname>`.

The `Service's TCP port state` item uses the `{$MSSQL.HOST}` and `{$MSSQL.PORT}` macros to check the availability of the MSSQL instance, change these if necessary. Keep in mind that if dynamic ports are used on the MSSQL server side, this check will not work correctly.

Note: You can use the context macros `{$MSSQL.BACKUP_FULL.USED}`, `{$MSSQL.BACKUP_LOG.USED}`, and `{$MSSQL.BACKUP_DIFF.USED}` to disable backup age triggers for a certain database. If set to a value other than "1", the trigger expression for the backup age will not fire.

Note: Since version 7.2.0, you can also connect to the MSSQL instance using its name. To do this, set the connection string in the `{$MSSQL.URI}` macro as `<protocol://host/instance_name>`.

The lazy writer eliminates the need to perform frequent checkpoints in order to create available buffers.</p>|Dependent item|mssql.lazy_writes_sec.rate<p>**Preprocessing**</p><ul><li><p>JSON Path: `$[?(@.counter_name=='Lazy writes/sec')].cntr_value.first()`</p></li><li>Change per second</li></ul>|

|Auto-param attempts per second|<p>Number of auto-parameterization attempts per second. The total should be the sum of the failed, safe, and unsafe auto-parameterizations. Auto-parameterization occurs when an instance of SQL Server tries to parameterize a Transact-SQL request by replacing some literals with parameters so that reuse of the resulting cached execution plan across multiple similar-looking requests is possible.
