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

Extended Events in SQL Azure

Hi Everybody   Today an English post about 'Extended Events in SQL Azure', some of you shorten the name to 'EE' and some to 'XEvent'. I Love EE so this is how I will call it in this post.   This feature was introduce in SQL Server 2008 and its should help collecting DATA about what is running in the Server.   More Details about this SQL Server feature can be found in this Link: https://msdn.microsoft.com/library/bb630282.aspx?f=255&MSPPError=-2147217396   There are a few differences between EE in SQL Azure and regular SQL Server: In SQL Server versions the EE are on the Server level and therefore you create sessions on Server. In SQL Azure the server is a virtual entity - so the EE is in DB level and you create the session on DataBase. In SQL Server versions the EE can write to files on the server. SQL Azure does not have drives for files (SQL Azure is PAAS.....:-)). There is an option to write to blob storage, for this we need t...

The journey to the Lakehouse

A long time has passed since the last post, we have gone through a long and tedious journey to adapt what Azure offers us, to our needs. Our needs were simple, the Current Datawarehouse (SQL Server on VM inazure) served the BI. ML teams worked on GCP, we want to let both teams to work on Azure in a platform that will have the ability to scale and will not fail every 2 days. We checked: Snowflake on azure Synapse analytics GCP We decided to go for the full Azure product for the reasons: Migration time support costs Synapse as a platform contains many components, and the challenge was to find what fits  us as an organization and as a group. The knowledge of the people and their abilities influenced the plans. Here's what we planned and what we did: We start to put everything in the Data Lake in parquet or delta format, build on top of Azure ADLS gen 2. We had to move some data to T-SQL compatible platform, so this involves setting up a dedicated Synapse pool , which is a fully man...
