The Microsoft SQL Server integration package allows you to search, observe, and visualize the SQL Server audit logs, as well as performance and transaction log metrics, through Elasticsearch.

Data streams

The Microsoft SQL Server integration collects two types of data streams: logs and metrics.

Logs help you keep a record of events happening in Microsoft SQL Server. Log data streams collected by the integration include:

  • audit provides events from the configured Windows event log channel. For more information on SQL Server auditing, refer to SQL Server Audit.
  • logs parses error logs created by the Microsoft SQL server.

Other log sources, such as files, are not supported.

Find more details in Logs.

Metrics give you insight into the state of Microsoft SQL Server. Metric data streams collected by the integration include:

  • performance metrics gather the list of performance objects available on that server. Each server will have a different list of performance objects depending on the installed software.
  • transaction_log metrics collect all usage stats and the total space usage.

Find more details in Metrics.

Requirements

You need Elasticsearch for storing and searching your data and Kibana for visualizing and managing it. You can use our hosted Elasticsearch Service on Elastic Cloud, which is recommended, or self-manage the Elastic Stack on your hardware.

Microsoft SQL Server permissions

Before you can start sending data to Elastic, make sure you have the necessary Microsoft SQL Server permissions.

If you browse Microsoft Developer Network (MSDN) for the following tables, you will find a "Permissions" section that defines the permission needed for each table (for example, the "Permissions" section on the sys.dm_db_log_space_usage page).

  1. transaction_log:
  2. performance:

Setup

For step-by-step instructions on how to set up any integration, refer to the Getting started guide.

Below you'll find more specific details on setting up the Microsoft SQL Server integration.

Named Instance

Microsoft SQL Server has a feature that allows running multiple databases on the same host (or clustered hosts) with separate settings. Establish a named instance connection by using the instance name along with the hostname (e.g. host/instance_name or host:named_instance_port) to collect metrics. Details of the host configuration are provided below.

Query by Instance Name or Server Name in Kibana

The data can be visualized in Kibana by filtering based on the instance name and server name. The instance name can be filtered by mssql.metrics.instance_name and the server name by mssql.metrics.server_name fields.

Host Configuration

As part of the input configuration, you need to provide the user name, password and host details. The host configuration supports both named instances or default (no-name) instances, using the syntax below.

Note: This integration supports collecting metrics from a single host. For multi-host metrics, each host can be run as a new integration.

Connecting to Default Instance (host):

  • host (e.g. localhost (Instance name is not needed when connecting to default instance))
  • host:port (e.g. localhost:1433)

Connecting to Named Instance (host):

  • host/instance_name (e.g. localhost/namedinstance_01)
  • host:named_instance_port (e.g. localhost:60873)

Configuration

Audit

There are several levels of auditing for SQL Server, depending on government or standards requirements for your installation. The SQL Server Audit feature enables you to audit server-level and database-level groups of events and individual events.

For more information on the different audit levels, refer to SQL Server Audit Action Groups and Actions. Then to enable auditing for SQL Server, refer to these instructions.

Note: For the integration package to be able to read and send audit events the event target must be configured to be Windows event log.

Audit events

Collects SQL Server audit events from the specified windows event log channel.

Log

The SQL Server log contains user-defined events and certain system events you can use for troubleshooting.

Read more in View the SQL Server error log in SQL Server Management Studio.

Performance metrics

Collects the performance counter metrics. The dynamic counter feature provides flexibility to collect metrics by providing the counter as an input. This input can be a regular expression which will filter results based on pattern. For example, if %grant% is given as input, it will enable metrics collection for all of the counters with names like 'Memory Grants Pending', 'Active memory grants count' etc. MSSQL supports a limited set of regular expressions. For more details, refer to Pattern Matching in Search Conditions.

Note: Dynamic counters will go through some basic ingest pipeline post-processing to make counter names in lowercase and remove special characters and these fields will not have any static field mappings.

The feature merge_results has been introduced in 8.4 beats which creates a single event by combining the metrics in a single event. For more details, refer to SQL module.

Read more in instructions about each performance counter metrics.

Transaction log metrics

Collects system level transaction_log metrics information for SQL Server instance. Metrics for user-level databases can be collected by providing a list of user databases for which metrics are to be collected.

Read more in instructions and the operations supported by transaction log.

Fetch from all databases

To simplify the process of fetching metrics from all databases on the server, you can enable the Fetch from all databases toggle when configuring the integration. This field overrides manually entered database names in the Databases input and instead fetches the required transaction_log metrics from all databases, including system and user-defined databases.

Keep in mind that this feature is disabled by default and needs to be manually enabled to be activated.

Password URL encoding

When the password contains special characters, pass these special characters using URL encoding.

Logs

audit

The SQL Server audit dataset provides events from the configured Windows event log channel. All SQL Server audit-specific fields are available in the sqlserver.audit field group.

Exported fields

Data stream dataset.
constant_keyword
data_stream.namespace
Data stream namespace.
constant_keyword

Data stream type.
constant_keyword
destination.user.domain
Name of the directory the user is a member of. For example, an LDAP or Active Directory domain name.
keyword
destination.user.id
Unique identifier of the user.
keyword
destination.user.name
Short name or login of the user.
keyword
destination.user.name.text
Multi-field of destination.user.name.
match_only_text
ecs.version
ECS version this event conforms to. ecs.version is a required field and must exist in all events. When querying across multiple indices -- which may conform to slightly different ECS versions -- this field lets integrations adjust to the schema version of the events.
keyword
error.code
Error code describing the error.
keyword
error.message
Error message.
match_only_text
event.action
The action captured by the event. This describes the information in the event. It is more specific than event.category. Examples are group-add, process-started, file-created. The value is normally defined by the implementer.
keyword
event.category
This is one of four ECS Categorization Fields, and indicates the second level in the ECS category hierarchy. event.category represents the "big buckets" of ECS categories. For example, filtering on event.category:process yields all events relating to process activity. This field is closely related to event.type, which is used as a subcategory. This field is an array. This will allow proper categorization of some events that fall in multiple categories.
keyword
event.code
Identification code for this event, if one exists. Some event sources use event codes to identify messages unambiguously, regardless of message language or wording adjustments over time. An example of this is the Windows Event ID.
keyword
event.created
event.created contains the date/time when the event was first read by an agent, or by your pipeline. This field is distinct from @timestamp in that @timestamp typically contain the time extracted from the original event. In most situations, these two timestamps will be slightly different. The difference can be used to calculate the delay between your source generating an event, and the time when your agent first processed it. This can be used to monitor your agent's or pipeline's ability to keep up with your event source. In case the two timestamps are identical, @timestamp should be used.
date
event.duration
Duration of the event in nanoseconds. If event.start and event.end are known this value should be the difference between the end and start time.
long
event.ingested
Timestamp when an event arrived in the central data store. This is different from @timestamp, which is when the event originally occurred. It's also different from event.created, which is meant to capture the first time an agent saw the event. In normal conditions, assuming no tampering, the timestamps should chronologically look like this: @timestamp < event.created < event.ingested.
date
event.kind
This is one of four ECS Categorization Fields, and indicates the highest level in the ECS category hierarchy. event.kind gives high-level information about what type of information the event contains, without being specific to the contents of the event. For example, values of this field distinguish alert events from metric events. The value of this field can be used to inform how these kinds of events should be handled. They may warrant different retention, different access control, it may also help understand whether the data coming in at a regular interval or not.
keyword
event.original
Raw text message of entire event. Used to demonstrate log integrity or where the full log message (before splitting it up in multiple parts) may be required, e.g. for reindex. This field is not indexed and doc_values are disabled. It cannot be searched, but it can be retrieved from _source. If users wish to override this and index this field, please see Field data types in the Elasticsearch Reference.
keyword
event.outcome
This is one of four ECS Categorization Fields, and indicates the lowest level in the ECS category hierarchy. event.outcome simply denotes whether the event represents a success or a failure from the perspective of the entity that produced the event. Note that when a single transaction is described in multiple events, each event may populate different values of event.outcome, according to their perspective. Also note that in the case of a compound event (a single event that contains multiple logical events), this field should be populated with the value that best captures the overall success or failure from the perspective of the event producer. Further note that not all events will have an associated outcome. For example, this field is generally not populated for metric events, events with event.type:info, or any events for which an outcome does not make logical sense.
keyword
event.provider
Source of the event. Event transports such as Syslog or the Windows Event Log typically mention the source of an event. It can be the name of the software that generated the event (e.g. Sysmon, httpd), or of a subsystem of the operating system (kernel, Microsoft-Windows-Security-Auditing).
keyword
event.sequence
Sequence number of the event. The sequence number is a value published by some event sources, to make the exact ordering of events unambiguous, regardless of the timestamp precision.
long
event.type
This is one of four ECS Categorization Fields, and indicates the third level in the ECS category hierarchy. event.type represents a categorization "sub-bucket" that, when used along with the event.category field values, enables filtering events down to a level appropriate for single visualization. This field is an array. This will allow proper categorization of some events that fall in multiple event types.
keyword
file.directory
Directory where the file is located. It should include the drive letter, when appropriate.
keyword
file.extension
File extension, excluding the leading dot. Note that when the file name has multiple extensions (example.tar.gz), only the last one should be captured ("gz", not "tar.gz").
keyword
file.name
Name of the file including the extension, without the directory.
keyword
file.path
Full path to the file, including the file name. It should include the drive letter, when appropriate.
keyword
file.path.text
Multi-field of file.path.
match_only_text
host.architecture
Operating system architecture.
keyword
host.containerized
If the host is a container.
boolean
host.domain
Name of the domain of which the host is a member. For example, on Windows this could be the host's Active Directory domain or NetBIOS domain name. For Linux this could be the domain of the host's LDAP provider.
keyword
host.hostname
Hostname of the host. It normally contains what the hostname command returns on the host machine.
keyword
host.id
Unique host id. As hostname is not always unique, use values that are meaningful in your environment. Example: The current usage of beat.name.
keyword
host.ip
Host ip addresses.
ip
host.mac
Host MAC addresses. The notation format from RFC 7042 is suggested: Each octet (that is, 8-bit byte) is represented by two [uppercase] hexadecimal digits giving the value of the octet as an unsigned integer. Successive octets are separated by a hyphen.
keyword
host.name
Name of the host. It can contain what hostname returns on Unix systems, the fully qualified domain name, or a name specified by the user. The sender decides which value to use.
keyword
host.os.build
OS build information.
keyword
host.os.codename
OS codename, if any.
keyword
host.os.family
OS family (such as redhat, debian, freebsd, windows).
keyword
host.os.full
Operating system name, including the version or code name.
keyword
host.os.full.text
Multi-field of host.os.full.
match_only_text
host.os.kernel
Operating system kernel version as a raw string.
keyword
host.os.name
Operating system name, without the version.
keyword
host.os.name.text
Multi-field of host.os.name.
text
host.os.platform
Operating system platform (such centos, ubuntu, windows).
keyword
host.os.type
Use the os.type field to categorize the operating system into one of the broad commercial families. If the OS you're dealing with is not listed as an expected value, the field should not be populated. Please let us know by opening an issue with ECS, to propose its addition.
keyword
host.os.version
Operating system version as a raw string.
keyword
host.type
Type of host. For Cloud providers this can be the machine type like t2.medium. If vm, this could be the container, for example, or other information meaningful in your environment.
keyword
log.level
Original log level of the log event. If the source of the event provides a log level or textual severity, this is the one that goes in log.level. If your source doesn't specify one, you may put your event transport's severity here (e.g. Syslog severity). Some examples are warn, err, i, informational.
keyword
message
For log events the message field contains the log message, optimized for viewing in a log viewer. For structured logs without an original message field, other fields can be concatenated to form a human-readable summary of the event. If multiple messages exist, they can be combined into one message.
match_only_text
process.args
Array of process arguments, starting with the absolute path to the executable. May be filtered to protect sensitive information.
keyword
process.args_count
Length of the process.args array. This field can be useful for querying or performing bucket analysis on how many arguments were provided to start a process. More arguments may be an indication of suspicious activity.
long
process.command_line
Full command line that started the process, including the absolute path to the executable, and all arguments. Some arguments may be filtered to protect sensitive information.
wildcard
process.command_line.text
Multi-field of process.command_line.
match_only_text
process.entity_id
Unique identifier for the process. The implementation of this is specified by the data source, but some examples of what could be used here are a process-generated UUID, Sysmon Process GUIDs, or a hash of some uniquely identifying components of a process. Constructing a globally unique identifier is a common practice to mitigate PID reuse as well as to identify a specific process over time, across multiple monitored hosts.
keyword
process.executable
Absolute path to the process executable.
keyword
process.executable.text
Multi-field of process.executable.
match_only_text
process.name
Process name. Sometimes called program name or similar.

keyword
process.title.text
Multi-field of process.title.
match_only_text
related.hash
All the hashes seen on your event. Populating this field, then using it to search for hashes can help in situations where you're unsure what the hash algorithm is (and therefore which key name to search).
keyword

ecs.version
ECS version this event conforms to. ecs.version is a required field and must exist in all events. When querying across multiple indices -- which may conform to slightly different ECS versions -- this field lets integrations adjust to the schema version of the events.
keyword
event.created
event.created contains the date/time when the event was first read by an agent, or by your pipeline. This field is distinct from @timestamp in that @timestamp typically contain the time extracted from the original event. In most situations, these two timestamps will be slightly different. The difference can be used to calculate the delay between your source generating an event, and the time when your agent first processed it. This can be used to monitor your agent's or pipeline's ability to keep up with your event source. In case the two timestamps are identical, @timestamp should be used.
date
event.dataset
Event dataset
constant_keyword
event.module
Event module
constant_keyword
host.architecture
Operating system architecture.
keyword
host.containerized
If the host is a container.
boolean
host.domain
Name of the domain of which the host is a member. For example, on Windows this could be the host's Active Directory domain or NetBIOS domain name. For Linux this could be the domain of the host's LDAP provider.
keyword
host.hostname
Hostname of the host. It normally contains what the hostname command returns on the host machine.
keyword
host.id
Unique host id. As hostname is not always unique, use values that are meaningful in your environment. Example: The current usage of beat.name.
keyword
host.ip
Host ip addresses.
ip
host.mac
Host MAC addresses. The notation format from RFC 7042 is suggested: Each octet (that is, 8-bit byte) is represented by two [uppercase] hexadecimal digits giving the value of the octet as an unsigned integer. Successive octets are separated by a hyphen.
keyword
host.name
Name of the host. It can contain what hostname returns on Unix systems, the fully qualified domain name, or a name specified by the user. The sender decides which value to use.

log.file.path
Full path to the log file this event came from, including the file name. It should include the drive letter, when appropriate. If the event wasn't read from a log file, do not populate this field.
keyword
log.flags
This field contains the flags of the event.
keyword
log.level
Original log level of the log event. If the source of the event provides a log level or textual severity, this is the one that goes in log.level. If your source doesn't specify one, you may put your event transport's severity here (e.g. Syslog severity). Some examples are warn, err, i, informational.
keyword
log.offset
Offset of the entry in the log file.
long
message
For log events the message field contains the log message, optimized for viewing in a log viewer. For structured logs without an original message field, other fields can be concatenated to form a human-readable summary of the event. If multiple messages exist, they can be combined into one message.
match_only_text
microsoft_sqlserver.log.origin
