Environment
Release:
Component: UIMSQR
Component: UIMSQR
Resolution
Check dns name resolution for the {DB_ADDRESS} from probe server via nslookup command from probe server:
>nslookup {DB_ADDRESS}
If nslookup returns a correct IP address, check SQL Server Browser service is running properly on DB server.
Also add Database name in the Initial Catalog field of connection defined in sql_resposne probe.
Run the PortQry utility on a server (ideally on the db server with sql_response probe)
> PortQry.exe -n {IP} -e 1434 -p UDP
The {IP} is the active node IP for a clustered MS SQL instance or the public IP address of DB server for a standalone DB instance. Port 1434 is the port used by SQL Browser service.
The expected response of this command is that:
1. the named instance, in this case {INSTANCE}, is listed with server name, port and version information.
2. the UDP port 1434 is LISTENING
For example
Server's response:
ServerName SERVER_NAME
InstanceName INSTANCE_NAME
IsClustered No
Version 12.0.6024.0
tcp 60664
UDP port 1434 is LISTENING
Without such information for the DB instance being monitored, contact local System Administrator and DBA to troubleshoot this issue.
