sys.availability_groups (Transact-SQL)

Applies to: SQL Server

Returns a row for each availability group for which the local instance of SQL Server hosts an availability replica. Each row contains a cached copy of the availability group metadata.

Column name Data type Description
group_id uniqueidentifier Unique identifier (GUID) of the availability group.
name sysname Name of the availability group. This is a user-specified name that must be unique within the Windows Server Failover Cluster (WSFC).
resource_id nvarchar(40) Resource ID for the WSFC cluster resource.
resource_group_id nvarchar(40) Resource Group ID for the WSFC cluster resource group of the availability group.
failure_condition_level int User-defined failure condition level under which an automatic failover must be triggered, one of the integer values shown in the table immediately below this table.

The failure-condition levels (1-5) range from the least restrictive, level 1, to the most restrictive, level 5. A given condition level encompasses all of the less restrictive levels. Thus, the strictest condition level, 5, includes the four less restrictive condition levels (1-4), level 4 includes levels 1-3, and so forth.

To change this value, use the FAILURE_CONDITION_LEVEL option of the ALTER AVAILABILITY GROUP (Transact-SQL) statement.
health_check_timeout int Wait time (in milliseconds) for the sp_server_diagnostics (Transact-SQL) system stored procedure to return server-health information, before the server instance is assumed to be slow or not responding. The default value is 30000 milliseconds (30 seconds).

To change this value, use the HEALTH_CHECK_TIMEOUT option of the ALTER AVAILABILITY GROUP (Transact-SQL) statement.
automated_backup_preference tinyint Preferred location for performing backups on the availability databases in this availability group. The following are the possible values and their descriptions.

0: Primary. Backups should always occur on the primary replica.
1: Secondary only. Performing backups on a secondary replica is preferable.
2: Prefer Secondary. Performing backups on a secondary replica is preferred, but performing backups on the primary replica is acceptable if no secondary replica is available for backup operations. This is the default behavior.
3: Any Replica. No preference about whether backups are performed on the primary replica or on a secondary replica.

For more information, see Offload supported backups to secondary replicas of an availability group.
automated_backup_preference_desc nvarchar(60) Description of automated_backup_preference, one of:

PRIMARY
SECONDARY_ONLY
SECONDARY
NONE
version smallint The version of the availability group metadata stored in the Windows Failover Cluster. This version number is incremented when new features are added.
basic_features bit Specifies whether this is a Basic availability group. For more information, see Basic Always On availability groups for a single database.
dtc_support bit Specifies whether DTC support is enabled for this availability group. The DTC_SUPPORT option of CREATE AVAILABILITY GROUP controls this setting.
db_failover bit Specifies whether the availability group supports failover for database health conditions. The DB_FAILOVER option of CREATE AVAILABILITY GROUP controls this setting.
is_distributed bit Specifies whether this is a distributed availability group. For more information, see Distributed availability groups.
cluster_type tinyint 0: Windows Server failover cluster
1: None
2: External cluster (for example, Linux Pacemaker)
cluster_type_desc nvarchar(60) Text description of cluster type
required_synchronized_secondaries_to_commit int The number of secondary replicas that must be in a synchronized state for a commit to complete
sequence_number bigint Identifies the availability group configuration sequence. Incrementally increases every time the availability group primary replica updates the configuration of the group.
is_contained bit 1: Big data cluster master instance configured for high-availability.
0: all other.

Failure condition level values

The following table describes the possible failure condition levels for the failure_condition_level column.

Value Failure condition
1 Specifies that an automatic failover should be initiated when any of the following occurs:

- The SQL Server service is down.
- The lease of the availability group for connecting to the WSFC failover cluster expires because no ACK is received from the server instance.

For more information, see How It Works: SQL Server Always On Lease Timeout.
2 Specifies that an automatic failover should be initiated when any of the following occurs:

- The instance of SQL Server doesn't connect to cluster, and the user-specified health_check_timeout threshold of the availability group is exceeded.
- The availability replica is in failed state.
3 Specifies that an automatic failover should be initiated on critical SQL Server internal errors, such as orphaned spinlocks, serious write-access violations, or too much dumping.

This is the default value.
4 Specifies that an automatic failover should be initiated on moderate SQL Server internal errors, such as a persistent out-of-memory condition in the SQL Server internal resource pool.
5 Specifies that an automatic failover should be initiated on any qualified failure conditions, including:

- Exhaustion of SQL Engine worker-threads.
- Detection of an unsolvable deadlock.

Permissions

Requires VIEW ANY DEFINITION permission on the server instance.
