Specific example:
We have around 5000 MSSQL servers, each with multiple SQL instances running on them. We can't call out each instance by name, we need a method of using a wildcard or some sort of discovery that picks up the instances on the SQL server In one example we use perfmon counters. They are prefixed with the SQL instance name, and in this case there are 2 instance names across the various counters. I need performance metrics from both instances on this particular host. In this case, we aren't even using the MSSQL integration, rather it's the `Windows` integration using the performance counters metrics and targeting SQL specific counters.
Please let me know if you require further explanation of this example use-case.
Summary
named_instance
connection string. We can even launch multiple hosts separately.mssql
metricbeat provides option to configure multiple hosts and fetch metrics from different hosts. The same behaviour is verified with the Genericsql
module with which we are able to configure multiple hosts and fetch metrics.named_instance
or as a separate host.multiple hosts
using asingle integration
instead of adding multiple integrations.
