Dashboards in Azure Portal

Hi
 
Today I will be reviewing the Azure Portal Dashboard.
We have seen lots of improvements in that field.
It has developed to include a variety of options, and lot of use cases:
 
  1. Monitoring, with full screen and charts.
  2. Shortcuts to the most usable apps.
  3. Share dashboards between users.
  4. You can have multi Dashboards, like Dashboard for DB's, for Storage or VM's or per application or resource group.
I find these new features very useful and very easy to implement.
Here are some screenshots showing the uses.
 
Image 1 - shows what options we have for the Dashboards
 
 
:
We can add new, edit an exiting one, share to other users, clone and delete.
 
 
Image 2 - shows the options when clicking on the arrow near the Dashboard, we see the list of my dashboards, and the dashboards that was shared with me.
 
 
 
Image 3 - shows the screen after clicking on "Share", we can share to a subscription, and put it in a location as resource group.
 
 
 
 
Image 4 - shows a custom Dashboard I created for a 10 sharded DB system - to have the DTU and Storage in the same place - also adding the management DB.
 
  
 
So enjoy your journey with in the new Dashboards world.
 
Thanks
Pini

How to restore deleted Azure Synapse dedicated SQL pool

  Existing dedicated pool can be easily restored from Azure portal or PowerShell command, but for now deleted pool could be restored from PowerShell only! Example: # Connect to Azure with system-assigned managed identity $AzureContext = (Connect-AzAccount -Identity).context # set and store context $AzureContext = Set-AzContext -SubscriptionName $AzureContext.Subscription -DefaultProfile $AzureContext # $AzureContext = Set-AzContext -SubscriptionName $SubscriptionName -DefaultProfile $AzureContext $SubscriptionName="Databases" $ResourceGroupName="stg-rg-we" $ServerName="stg-synapse-we"   $DatabaseName="sql_we_2023_11_07_13_42" $NewDatabaseName="sql_dp_we_deleted" ######################################## $token = (Get-AzAccessToken -ResourceUrl https://database.windows.net).Token $SubscriptionId = "ce088f9e-1111111a3914b" $DedicatedPoolEndPoint = "stg-synapse-we.sql.azuresynapse.net" $DedicatedPoolName = $DatabaseNam...

Back to Basic - create new Azure SQL DB

Hi All Long time no posts, i have been busy in last few months on a hard day 2 day work and did not  had the chance to publish some posts. So i have decided to sit and write some "Back to Basic" posts. Today i will write about how to create an Azure SQL Db from the portal. Choose the Subscription. RG - if its in special Project connect to its RG (Resource group is a virtual collection of resources in order to easy manage budgets.) DB Name Server - choose the correct or create one(Server has limited manage capabilities on the DB like security, backup policies and other rules) Choose no (elastic pool is a feature that will not be explained here) This is the server tier, means the power of the DB and by pass the payments of the DB (i will have special post on the new tiers options, for this post i will leave the default) This is the Storage redundancy , for now leave it in the default option. now we will move to the Networking tab: 8 - 9. Configuration of networking and s...

Configuring secondary database in Azure SQL DB - Bug found

Hi All Last week we had an issue with a secondary DB in geo replication and fail over group. To make the long story short we had to delete the secondary and recreate a secondary from scratch . And now let me tell you the story, we build a DB in P6 tier - very high, expensive and highly available. Then we add a geo replication copy via the platform, like it shows here. This is take from MSFT documentation: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/azure-sql/database/active-geo-replication-overview It is written:  " Both primary and secondary databases are required to have the same service tier. It is also strongly recommended that the secondary database is created with the same backup storage redundancy and compute size (DTUs or vCores) as the primary. If the primary database is experiencing a heavy write workload, a secondary with lower compute size may not be able to keep up with it. That will cause redo lag on the secondary, and potential unavailability of the secondary. To mit...
