SQL Stats Explorer

The SQL Stats Explorer lets you view SQL statistics over time per SQL statement for the top N statements.

Report settings​

  • Select the Aggregation interval
    • Auto = DBmarlin will pick the best interval for the time range you have selected.
    • Timeslice = Will use the lowest granularity which by default is 1 minute but can be configure to a higher lower value by changing Batch interval under Settings -> Advanced Mode.
  • Select the Metric. By default
  • Select the Chart type (Stacked area, Stacked column or Multi-series line chart)
  • Select the Top n value. Default is top 10 but can go to a maximum of 99. The higher the value the longer the report will take to generate.
  • Select if Other should also be included on the chart. This add an extra series to the chart which is the sum of all other SQL statements outside of the Top n.
