Azure SQL Server automatic tuning

[gpthome]

Does Terraform support Azure SQL Server automatic tuning? If so, can you please point me in that direction? Here is a snapshot from the Azure GUI to visualize the request: We use _azurerm_mssqlserver to manage our resource. Thanks!

any updates on this and whether it is likely to be looked at. i am also in need of enabling this and currently having to run a script after the terraform apply in order to enable it, thanks

Also looking for this.. any references or terraform usage that can help?

Take a look at this alternative sample using Terraform null_resource and sqlcmd utility. Hope it helps!

Looking forward to have this feature implemented

Hi @CarlosSardo, this looks pretty cool, thank you. Only issue is, it's setup at database level. Personally I would prefer to set at server level and let the databases underneath to inherit them. Have you tried it against the SQL server?

Any update on this, because the Azure defaults not hits our requirements...

Hello,

I was able to accomplish this against an SQL Database with the azapi. I think you can try with the Server as well, I'll give that example a go when I have some time but my business case was getting a specific SQL DB having autotuning enabled.

Hope it helps..

I was able to do it at a server level with azapi as well... The only thing I notice is I can't do a loop for each adviser (CreateIndex, DropIndex, etc...), so I had to declare each resource.

Here is my solution with azapi_resource_action (in cdktf for typescript):

new ResourceAction(this, 'automatic_tuning', {
  type: 'Microsoft.Sql/servers/automaticTuning@2021-11-01',
  resourceId: `${this.server.id}/automaticTuning/current`,
  method: 'PATCH',
  body: Fn.jsonencode({
    properties: {
      desiredState: 'Auto',
      options: {
        createIndex: { desiredState: 'On' },
        dropIndex: { desiredState: 'On' },
        forceLastGoodPlan: { desiredState: 'On' }
      }
    }
  }),
  dependsOn: [this.server]
});

Workaround in HCL format, based on @tpaul1611 example above.

# https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/rest/api/sql/server-automatic-tuning/update?view=rest-sql-2021-11-01
resource "azapi_resource_action" "example" {
  resource_id = "${azurerm_mssql_server.example.id}/automaticTuning/current"
  type        = "Microsoft.Sql/servers/automaticTuning@2021-11-01"
  method      = "PATCH"
  body = jsonencode({
    properties = {
      desiredState = "Auto"
      options = {
        # Valid desiredState options = "Default","On","Off"
        forceLastGoodPlan = { desiredState = "Default" }
        createIndex       = { desiredState = "On" }
        dropIndex         = { desiredState = "Off" }
      }
    }
  })
  depends_on = [azurerm_mssql_database.example]
}

@mybayern1974 @magodo Do you have any ETA when it is going to be implemented?
