SQL Probes

You can upload and verify SQL probes, execute probe tasks in one click, and periodically execute probe tasks. Alarms can be reported for timeout SQL probes. The procedure is as follows:

  • The SQL probe is supported only in 8.1.1.300 and later versions. To use it in earlier versions, contact technical support.
  • 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.
