  • Only SELECT statements can be used as SQL probes.
  • Up to 20 SQL probes can be configured.
  • To create an SQL probe, you must have the GaussDB(DWS) FullAccess permission.
  • To enable the SQL probe function, choose Monitoring Settings > Monitoring Collection and enable the SQL Probe metric. For details, see Monitoring Collection. The default collection frequency is 30s.
