-- If no global trace flags are enabled, no results will be returned.
-- It is very useful to know what global trace flags are currently enabled as part of the diagnostic process.

-- Common trace flags that should be enabled in most cases
-- TF 1117 - When growing a data file, grow all files at the same time so they remain the same size, reducing allocation contention points
--           https://bit.ly/2GY1kOl
-- 
-- TF 1118 - Helps alleviate allocation contention in tempdb, SQL Server allocates full extents to each database object, 
--           thereby eliminating the contention on SGAM pages (more important with older versions of SQL Server)
--           Recommendations to reduce allocation contention in SQL Server tempdb database

-- SQL Server Error log. This query might take a few seconds 
-- if you have not recycled your error log recently  
EXEC sys.xp_readerrorlog 0, 1, N'Manufacturer';
------  

-- This can help you determine the capabilities
-- and capacities of your database server
-- This often comes back with no results on SQL Server 2005


-- Get processor description from Windows Registry  (Query 9) (Processor Description)
EXEC sys.xp_instance_regread N'HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE', N'HARDWARE\DESCRIPTION\System\CentralProcessor\0', N'ProcessorNameString';
------

-- Gives you the model number and rated clock speed of your processor(s)
-- Your processors may be running at less that the rated clock speed due
-- to the Windows Power Plan or hardware power management

-- You can use CPU-Z to get your actual CPU core speed and a lot of other useful information
-- http://www.cpuid.com/softwares/cpu-z.html

-- You can learn more about processor selection for SQL Server by following this link

-- Focus on these settings:)
-- backup compression default (should be 1 in most cases)
-- clr enabled (only enable if it is needed)

-- lightweight pooling (should be zero)
-- max degree of parallelism (depends on your workload)
-- max server memory (MB) (set to an appropriate value, not the default)

FROM sys.master_files WITH (NOLOCK)
ORDER BY DB_NAME([database_id]), [file_id] OPTION (RECOMPILE);
------

-- Things to look at:
-- Are data files and log files on different drives?
-- Is everything on the C: drive?
-- Is TempDB on dedicated drives?
-- Is there only one TempDB data file?
-- Are all of the TempDB data files the same size?
-- Are there multiple data files for user databases?
-- Is percent growth enabled for any files (which is bad)?


-- Look for I/O requests taking longer than 15 seconds in the five most recent SQL Server Error Logs (Query 12) (IO Warnings)

SELECT LogDate, ProcessInfo, LogText
FROM #IOWarningResults
ORDER BY LogDate DESC;

DROP TABLE #IOWarningResults; 
------ 

-- Finding 15 second I/O warnings in the SQL Server Error Log is useful evidence of
-- poor I/O performance (which might have many different causes)
-- Look to see if you see any patterns in the results (same files, same drives, same time of day, etc.)

-- Diagnostics in SQL Server help detect stalled and stuck I/O operations

-- Getting missing index information for all of the databases on the instance is very useful
-- Look at last user seek time, number of user seeks to help determine source and importance
-- Also look at avg_user_impact and avg_total_user_cost to help determine importance
