With SQL Agent and the whole suite running, three light executions did
not reach the 50 most CPU-heavy statements. The collector's behavior is
unchanged.

- Availability group collector (replica and database replica states,
queues, commit times) and rules: SQLI-AG-001 unhealthy/disconnected
replica or suspended data movement (scripts HADR RESUME), SQLI-AG-002
secondary behind (estimated data loss and redo time)
- SQL Agent collector using only granted msdb tables (no EXECUTE on msdb
functions): SQLI-JOB-001 failed job with the failing step's message
(backup/CHECKDB jobs are High), SQLI-JOB-002 SQL Agent not running
- Integration tests create a real availability group (CLUSTER_TYPE NONE)
and a failing job in the test container (HADR and Agent enabled)

Collector (every 6 h, metadata and DMVs only, no scans): index inventory
with usage and forwarded fetches, missing-index suggestions, statistics
modifications via sysindexes.rowmodctr (needs only metadata visibility).
Rules:
- SQLI-IDX-001 missing index, evaluated against existing indexes:
extends an index with the same keys instead of adding one; notes on
write-heavy tables, many indexes, wide includes, short uptime
- SQLI-IDX-002 unused index (needs 7 days of uptime; suggests DISABLE)
- SQLI-IDX-003 duplicate or covered index (filters, uniqueness respected)
- SQLI-IDX-004 heap with forwarded records
- SQLI-STAT-001 stale statistics, SQLI-STAT-002 auto statistics off
Column lists use U+E000 as separator: FOR XML cannot serialize NCHAR(1).

Collector takes the 50 heaviest statements (CPU, last 24 h), fetches
statement plans as text (dm_exec_query_plan returns NULL for deeply
nested plans) and analyzes them in C#. Rules:
- SQLI-PLAN-001 implicit conversion preventing an index seek
- SQLI-PLAN-002 join without predicate (deliberate CROSS JOIN excluded)
- SQLI-PLAN-003 non-inlined scalar UDF in a heavy statement
- SQLI-PLAN-004 spills to tempdb, SQLI-PLAN-005 oversized memory grants
(2016 SP2+ / 2017 CU3+ columns, new capability)
Verified against real plans in SQL Server.

Collector reads the 100 heaviest queries per Query Store database, split
into the last 24 hours and the week before. Rules:
- SQLI-QS-001 plan regression: new plan >= 2x slower than the best plan
from the week before and >= 60 s extra per day; scripts the force
- SQLI-QS-002 forced plan that fails (e.g. NO_INDEX); scripts the unforce
- SQLI-QS-003 parameter sensitivity: very different plans or volatile
durations; suggests PSP optimization / Query Store hints on 2022+
Also: backups taken in the same second a database was created count.

SQLI-VER-002 flags instances behind the newest known CU, security update
or final service pack (catalog as of 2026-09-29, shipped as rule pack
data and called out when older than 120 days).

- ASP.NET Core Blazor static SSR: overview with KPI tiles, instance page
(findings, CPU/batch/PLE trends, top waits, file latency, blocking,
deadlocks with .xdl download, not-measurable rules, resolved), finding
detail with explanation, evidence, fix script and references
- Light-first design (sidebar, cards, self-hosted Inter, teal accent),
optional dark theme via toggle; strict CSP, no inline styles
- Windows authentication (Negotiate/IIS) with optional group restriction;
refuses to run without authentication outside Development
- Hosting: IIS (in-process ASP.NET Core Module), Windows service with
Kestrel, or systemd; web reads the repository with db_datareader only
- docs/installation.md for repository, permissions, agent and web
- Fix: CPU used by other processes is not derived on Linux (SystemIdle is
unreliable there); deadlocks are not re-reported or stored twice after
an agent restart; Dapper sends datetime2 so time comparisons are exact

Each instance runs its due collectors over one hardened connection per
cycle, keeps previous results for deltas, evaluates all rules and stores
findings, rule states and time series. Instances run in parallel with a
limit; a slow or failing instance never delays the others. The
repository is migrated at startup with retry, and maintenance runs hourly.
End-to-end test against SQL Server with the least-privilege login.

- Versioned, embedded migrations serialized with sp_getapplock so the agent
and web UI can both migrate at startup
- Findings tracked per rule and subject: first seen, last seen, resolved;
a rule that could not run never resolves its findings
- Time series (waits, file I/O, CPU, counters), blocking chains and
deadlock graphs; idempotent inserts (timestamps truncated to match
datetime2(0)), hourly aggregation and batched retention deletes
- Read API for the web UI; integration tests against SQL Server

Collectors (SQL Server 2000+, version-specific SQL, least privilege):
server, configuration, trace flags, databases (settings, backups in UTC,
CHECKDB, VLFs, Query Store, files, tempdb), suspect pages, plan cache,
wait stats and file I/O as deltas with restart/clear detection,
performance counters, CPU from the scheduler monitor ring buffer,
blocking (sleeping head blockers with open transactions), and deadlocks
from system_health continuing from the last file offset.
Rules: configuration (memory, MAXDOP per Microsoft NUMA guidance, cost
threshold, ad hoc bloat, risky options, pending changes), databases
(state, settings, backups, log backups, CHECKDB, suspect pages, VLFs,
autogrowth, max size, Query Store, tempdb), waits (THREADPOOL, signal
waits, locks, I/O, WRITELOG, parallelism, PAGELATCH), I/O latency, CPU,
memory grants, blocking and deadlocks. Missing data makes a rule not
measurable with the collector's reason.
Integration tests run every collector as the least-privilege login and
reproduce real blocking and a real deadlock; green on 2017 and 2022.

All mainstream and extended support end dates checked against Microsoft
sources. SQL Server 2025 added (mainstream ends 2031-01-06, extended
2036-01-06), so the lifecycle rule now evaluates 2025 instead of reporting
it as not measurable.

- .NET 10 solution with Core, Connectivity, Rules, Contracts, Agent, Web and Hub
- Capability model gating collectors and rules by SQL Server version (2000 and later);
rules that cannot run are reported as not measurable, never as passed
- Connectivity via Microsoft.Data.SqlClient with ODBC fallback for legacy instances,
hardened monitoring session settings valid back to SQL Server 2000
- Support lifecycle rule (SQLI-VER-001) with lifecycle data shipped as a rule pack
- Version-aware least-privilege permissions script, verified by integration tests
against SQL Server in Docker (reads monitoring sources, cannot read customer data)
- Forgejo Actions CI, contributing guide, code of conduct, issue templates,
legacy version notes

Least-privilege permissions per version, collector overhead safeguards,
separate repository instance, controlled/offline updates, container test
matrix, and SQL Server 2016 marked as out of support.
