Find Performance Problems Quickly With SQLGrease Find Performance Problems Quickly [SQLGrease Performance Monitoring Software] Identifying Problematic Workload One of the difficulties of fixing a performance problem is identifying what is problematic workload and what is normal workload. Slow queries may always run slow, even when a performance problem isn't occurring. This can lead to time being spent attempting to tune the wrong query. Using intuitive visualization and machine learning, SQLGrease helps quickly identify what query workload is problematic. Root Cause Analysis with SQLGrease Many times, it is difficult to solve a performance problem because the root cause is not clearly apparent. Finding the root cause of a performance problem is the first step in solving it. Root causes are normally buried more than one layer deep, such as the simplest scenario of blocking due to an uncommitted transaction. Unfortunately, most performance problems are related to a chain of events involving more than one query. SQLGrease provides detailed performance information for all queries and helps drill into the root cause of complex problems even if they are multiple layers deep. Proactive Tuning with the Recommendation Engine Few DBAs have time to constantly monitor systems especially when no performance problems are being reported. In many cases, there are simple fixes that can be applied to improve performance. SQLGrease analyzes your top query workload throughout the day for any potential improvements and generates recommendations. SQLGrease generates three different categories of recommendations. Multiple Plan Recommendations SQLGrease detects when queries have multiple plans and analyzes the performance of the plans based on runtime, resource consumption, execution counts, and IO. After applying weighted rules to these statistics, it will generate a recommendation for forcing a particular plan if one is clearly better than the others. Unsargable Predicate Recommendations When functions are applied in the query predicate (WHERE clause), this can cause a query to perform a large scan and not leverage an appropriate index. SQLGrease inspects execution plans for the existence of these scenarios, highlights where in the plan they are occurring, and provides advice for dealing with a wide range of functions. Index Recommendations While an execution plan will indicate Missing Indexes, not every index suggested is appropriate. SQLGrease analyzes plans indicating Missing Indexes and generates recommendations for those which will likely provide improvement without suggesting indexes that include every column in the table.
