Azure SQL Databases

Effortlessly monitor your Azure SQL databases and ensure optimal performance with Nodinite. On this page, you'll discover how to:

  • ✅ Gain real-time visibility into all your Azure SQL databases
  • ✅ Automate alerts for performance, availability, and compliance
  • ✅ Monitor database size and execute custom TSQL statements
  • ✅ Centralize monitoring and management in a single dashboard

Support for all your Azure SQL Databases is provided using the Database Monitoring Agent. Nodinite empowers you to proactively manage your cloud data platform, reduce downtime, and streamline operations.

Configuration

To monitor your Azure SQL Databases, configure a connection to your Azure SQL Database instance using the Remote Configuration feature. Each configured database connection becomes a monitored Resource in Nodinite.

Remote Configuration for Azure SQL Database
Example of Remote Configuration dialogue for adding an Azure SQL Database connection.

Configure the following settings:

  • Connection String – Azure SQL Database connection string with authentication credentials
  • Database Name – Name of the Azure SQL Database to monitor
  • Monitoring Categories – Select which monitoring features to enable (Size Checks, SQL Statements)

Note

Azure SQL Database does not support SQL Server Agent job monitoring. Job monitoring is only available for on-premises SQL Server instances.

Monitoring Capabilities

Once configured, you can leverage the following monitoring capabilities for your Azure SQL Databases:

Size Checks

Monitor the size of your Azure SQL Databases and receive alerts when they exceed defined thresholds. This helps you:

  • Control storage costs and optimize resource allocation
  • Prevent unexpected database size growth
  • Ensure compliance with storage policies
