Functionality of SSAS within SQL Monitor

Keith_DBA

Does SQL Monitor have any functionality to monitor Microsoft -> SQL Server Analysis Services

Hey @Keith_DBA - someone from RG might be able to correct me, but I don't believe SSAS is supported in SQL Monitor - although there is a couple of UserVoice requests for this

Monitor SSAS databases – SQL Monitor (uservoice.com) (this is the one most voted for that I could find)

Hi @Keith_DBA thank you for your post.

@TheMaskedData is right regarding SSAS, we don't monitor SSAS itself, but you would be able to add the machine it is on. 

The one caveat is that unless there is a SQL instance on the machine also, there would not be a card on the global dashboard, so while there would be machine metrics collected, they would only be visible on the Analysis page.

Hey @Ben_P

happen to have a link on how to do this?
All i can find in the monitor is how to add SQL servers and Azure SQL servers / Managed Instances .

Should managed instances be used?
