Common questions about connecting and running SQL Sentinel.
Do I need ODBC drivers installed to use SQL Sentinel?
No. SQL Sentinel uses Extended Events for monitoring and diagnostics, eliminating the ODBC driver dependency. This simplifies deployment on systems where driver installation is restricted.
What SQL Server versions does SQL Sentinel support?
The registry metadata does not specify version requirements. Check the package documentation (Neofenyx.SqlSentinel.Mcp@2.3.1) for supported SQL Server versions and editions.
How do I authenticate to my SQL Server instance?
Authentication details are not documented in the available metadata. Refer to the package documentation or source repository for connection string and credential configuration.
Can SQL Sentinel capture query execution plans and wait statistics?
SQL Sentinel uses Extended Events for monitoring. Extended Events can capture execution plans and wait data, but specific event templates and capabilities should be confirmed in the package documentation.
Is SQL Sentinel suitable for production monitoring or only development diagnostics?
SQL Sentinel is designed for monitoring and diagnostics via Extended Events, which are lightweight. Suitability for production depends on your workload and the specific events configured—review performance impact in your environment.
