SQL Diagnostic Manager allows you to view a wide range of information collected for your PaaS-monitored instances hosted on Amazon RDS and Microsoft SQL Azure (Azure SQL Database, elastic pool, and managed instances).

When monitoring Amazon RDS servers, SQL Diagnostic Manager cannot monitor or alert on SQL Agent jobs.

In addition, SQLDM supports monitoring images with SQL Server installed hosted on virtualized or cloud IaaS environments (e.g., Azure virtual machines, Amazon EC2, or Google Compute Engine). Monitoring a virtualized instance requires no cloud-specific configuration.

SQL Diagnostic Manager has new DBaaS metrics and alerts, for more information review the Metric Alerts.

For more information on metrics, check the Metric Alerts page. Below is some information about the additional metrics data available for cloud instances. 

For more information on Amazon RDS and Microsoft SQL Azure user permission, visit the User Creation Scripts page.
