Performance Advisor for Analysis Services

Building on the success of Performance Advisor for SQL Server, SQL Sentry has developed the first commercial software for monitoring and optimizing Microsoft SQL Server Analysis Services performance. Performance Advisor for SSAS provides unparalleled insight into Analysis Services performance, including bottlenecks related to memory and storage systems, aggregation usage, unoptimized queries, and query and processing tasks competing for the same resources.

Performance Advisor for Analysis Services is combined with Event Manager and Performance Advisor for SQL Server to provide the "SQL Sentry BI Suite". The suite provides the only performance monitoring solution in the market covering Microsoft's entire BI stack, which includes the relational data warehouse (SQL Server), SQL Server Integration Services (SSIS), Analysis Services (SSAS), and SQL Server Reporting Services (SSRS).


Performance Advisor for SSAS Features

  • Performance Dashboard for SSAS with both Windows and SSAS performance metrics side-by-side, providing a full picture of how SSAS is utilizing available network, CPU, memory and disk resources for any interval or over any date range.
  • Easily see how querying and processing tasks are utilizing and competing for the same resources, leading to reduced querying or processing performance.
  • Innovative performance profiling highlights bottlenecks in the formula engine, storage engine, or elsewhere over any date range.
  • Captures and aggregates all high impact SSAS commands (MDX, DMX and XMLA), showing top commands by CPU and IO usage.
  • Pinpoint problem SSAS queries, and see exactly how much formula and storage engine time each query is using, as well as the most heavily used partitions and aggregations.
  • Generate alerts for SSAS commands and runtime deviations.
  • View SSAS internal cache activity, including hit ratios for all cache lookup types, as well as cache growth/shrinkage.
  • View SSAS-related disk activity and system file cache usage, including file cache hit ratios.
  • View SSAS commands on the Event Manager calendar, side-by-side with all other jobs and performance events on a server.
  • Create custom calendars combining all SSAS, SQL Server, SSIS, and SSRS events for a data warehouse.
  • Monitoring and alerting for SSIS data warehousing jobs.
  • Monitoring and alerting for SSRS reports.

"Performance Advisor for Analysis Services is truly a game changer. This is the first software that brings all of the pertinent information together in a clear and concise fashion, providing a level of insight into Analysis Services performance that before now just hasn’t been possible."

-- John Welch, SQL Server MVP, Chief Architect, Mariner

"My first impression is that this is the first Analysis Services monitoring solution that I would actually want to use; it looks really, really good. I believe SQL Sentry has the first solution that will monitor the SQL Server relational engine, Analysis Services, SSIS and SSRS."

-- Chris Webb, SQL Server MVP,
IT Consultant, Crossjoin Consulting, London, UK

"Performance Advisor for Analysis Services has proven itself in our environment. When processing a cube in a single-server installation, SSAS was taking all of the available RAM leaving nothing for SQL Server, which caused relational performance (required to pull data from the database into the cube) to suffer badly. We identified this quickly and easily due to the 'single pane of glass' that Performance Advisor provides."

-- Ted Malone, Team System MVP, Director of Strategic Solutions, Configuresoft (Now part of EMC)
