SSAS Performance Metrics

Use relevant metrics to troubleshoot SSAS problems and find tuning opportunities

Accelerate SSAS performance with detailed, relevant metrics

SQL Sentry adjusts the performance metrics display in the Performance Analysis Dashboard based on whether you're monitoring a Tabular or a Multidimensional SSAS instance.

SSAS Activity

The SSAS Activity section displays information to help you correlate the rate of rows sent by the server to the clients with the number of threads used by the SSAS Formula and Storage Engines.

SSAS General

The SSAS General section displays information about the activity taking place on your monitored server instance, including average time, which shows what the SSAS instance is spending most of its time doing. The General section also displays activity such as the number of MDX cell calculations, which can help you pinpoint issues with either the SSAS Formula or Storage Engine.

SSAS Memory

The SSAS Memory section gives you details about how the server instance is using the memory allocated to it. When monitoring a Tabular instance, you can see the memory counters and the VertiPaq memory limit. This data helps you understand where physical memory usage might cause performance issues.

SSAS Storage

The SSAS Storage section provides information to help you determine whether the disk system is a bottleneck for your SSAS instance.

Do you find yourself asking…
  • How can I get to the root cause of SSAS performance problems?
  • How can I successfully troubleshoot SSAS performance problems?
  • How can I get to the root cause of SSAS performance problems?

    You’ll need accurate information, and you’ll need to consider the following:

    • Are the MDX or DAX queries performing poorly?
    • Do you have details about the SSAS Storage Engine processing performance?
    • Does your server have memory or other server resource constraints?

  • How can I successfully troubleshoot SSAS performance problems?

    The cause of SSAS performance problems could be lurking in any number of places. To successfully troubleshoot SSAS performance, you need a baseline. You also need the right monitoring tool—one that can give you deep insights into the performance metrics that help you analyze your SSAS environment in real time and during a specified period in the past.

    SQL Sentry gives you the detailed metrics you need to monitor, diagnose, and optimize the performance of your SSAS environment.
