How To Use SQL Server Database Inventory
The Databases page gives database-level context for a monitored SQL Server instance. Use it to confirm which databases are present, which database belongs to the affected application, and where to begin database-specific troubleshooting.
Inventory context is important on shared SQL Server instances. A server-level alert may affect one database, several databases, or the whole instance. Start here to identify the correct database before moving to Database Detail, SQL Server Indexes, Database Query Store, or Database Health Checks.
If a database is missing or appears offline, check SQL Server permissions, database state, collection status, and whether the monitored login has visibility. For storage investigations, continue to SQL Server Files and SQL Server Drives.
SQL Server Databases FAQ
Is this page for tuning?
It is mainly inventory and navigation. Use database detail, Query Store, indexes, and health checks for tuning evidence.
Why is an expected database missing?
The database may be offline, hidden by permissions, filtered from collection, or on a different SQL Server instance.
Can this page support estate review?
Yes. It helps with inventory when combined with Reports, Servers, and Enterprise View.
