# MSSQL by ODBC

## Overview

This template is designed for the effortless deployment of MSSQL monitoring by Zabbix via ODBC and doesn't require any external scripts.

## Requirements

Zabbix version: 7.0 and higher.

## Tested versions

This template has been tested on:
- Microsoft SQL, version 2019, 2022

## Configuration

> Zabbix should be configured according to the instructions in the [Templates out of the box](https://www.zabbix.com/documentation/7.0/manual/config/templates_out_of_the_box) section.

## Setup

1. Create an MSSQL user for monitoring. For example, zbx_monitor.
  **View Server State** and **View Any Definition** permissions should be granted to the user.
  Grant this user read permissions to the sysjobschedules, sysjobhistory, sysjobs tables.
  For example, using T-SQL commands:
  `GRANT SELECT ON OBJECT::msdb.dbo.sysjobs TO zbx_monitor`
  `GRANT SELECT ON OBJECT::msdb.dbo.sysjobservers TO zbx_monitor`
  `GRANT SELECT ON OBJECT::msdb.dbo.sysjobactivity TO zbx_monitor`
  `GRANT EXECUTE ON OBJECT::msdb.dbo.agent_datetime TO zbx_monitor`
  For more information, see MSSQL documentation:
    [Create a database user](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sql/relational-databases/security/authentication-access/create-a-database-user?view=sql-server-ver16)
    [GRANT Server Permissions](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sql/t-sql/statements/grant-server-permissions-transact-sql?view=sql-server-ver16)
    [Configure a User to Create and Manage SQL Server Agent Jobs](https://docs.microsoft.com/ru-ru/sql/ssms/agent/configure-a-user-to-create-and-manage-sql-server-agent-jobs?view=sql-server-ver16)
2. Set the username and password in host macros ({$MSSQL.USER} and {$MSSQL.PASSWORD}).
  Do not forget to install Microsoft ODBC driver on Zabbix server or Zabbix proxy.
  See Microsoft documentation for instructions: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sql/connect/odbc/linux-mac/installing-the-microsoft-odbc-driver-for-sql-server?view=sql-server-ver16.
  **Note! Credentials in the odbc.ini do not work for MSSQL.**

For named instance set the value of {$MSSQL.INSTANCE} macro as MSSQL$instance name.
In case if MSSQL was installed using default configuration do not change {$MSSQL.INSTANCE} macro value.

The "Service's TCP port state" item uses {HOST.CONN} and {$MSSQL.PORT} macros to check the availability of MSSQL instance.
If your instance uses a non-default TCP port, set the port in your section of odbc.ini in the line Server = IP or FQDN name, port.

The lazy writer eliminates the need to perform frequent checkpoints in order to create available buffers.</p>|Dependent item|mssql.lazy_writes_sec.rate<p>**Preprocessing**</p><ul><li><p>JSON Path: `$[?(@.counter_name=='Lazy writes/sec')].cntr_value.first()`</p></li><li>Change per second</li></ul>|
