Monitor SQL Server Machine Learning Services using dynamic management views (DMVs)

Applies to: SQL Server 2016 (13.x) and later Azure SQL Managed Instance

Use dynamic management views (DMVs) to monitor the execution of external scripts (Python and R), resources used, diagnose problems, and tune performance in SQL Server Machine Learning Services.

In this article, you will find the DMVs that are specific for SQL Server Machine Learning Services. You will also find example queries that show:

  • Settings and configuration options for machine learning
  • Active sessions running external Python or R scripts
  • Execution statistics for the external runtime for Python and R
  • Performance counters for external scripts
  • Memory usage for the OS, SQL Server, and external resource pools
  • Memory configuration for SQL Server and external resource pools
  • Resource Governor resource pools, including external resource pools
  • Installed packages for Python and R

For more general information about DMVs, see System Dynamic Management Views.

Tip

You can also use the custom reports to monitor SQL Server Machine Learning Services. For more information, see Monitor machine learning using custom reports in Management Studio.

Dynamic management views

The following dynamic management views can be used when monitoring machine learning workloads in SQL Server. To query the DMVs, you need VIEW SERVER STATE permission on the instance.

Dynamic management view Type Description
sys.dm_external_script_requests Execution Returns a row for each active worker account that is running an external script.
sys.dm_external_script_execution_stats Execution Returns one row for each type of external script request.
sys.dm_os_performance_counters Execution Returns a row per performance counter maintained by the server. If you use the search condition WHERE object_name LIKE '%External Scripts%', you can use this information to see how many scripts ran, which scripts were run using which authentication mode, or how many R or Python calls were issued on the instance overall.
sys.dm_resource_governor_external_resource_pools Resource Governor Returns information about the current external resource pool state in Resource Governor, the current configuration of resource pools, and resource pool statistics.
sys.dm_resource_governor_external_resource_pool_affinity Resource Governor Returns CPU affinity information about the current external resource pool configuration in Resource Governor. Returns one row per scheduler in SQL Server where each scheduler is mapped to an individual processor. Use this view to monitor the condition of a scheduler or to identify runaway tasks.

For information about monitoring SQL Server instances, see Catalog Views and Resource Governor Related Dynamic Management Views.

Settings and configuration

View the Machine Learning Services installation setting and configuration options.

Output from the settings and configuration query

Run the query below to get this output. For more information on the views and functions used, see sys.dm_server_registry, sys.configurations, and SERVERPROPERTY.

SELECT CAST(SERVERPROPERTY('IsAdvancedAnalyticsInstalled') AS INT) AS IsMLServicesInstalled
    , CAST(value_in_use AS INT) AS ExternalScriptsEnabled
    , COALESCE(SIGN(SUSER_ID(CONCAT (
                    CAST(SERVERPROPERTY('MachineName') AS NVARCHAR(128))
                    , '\SQLRUserGroup'
                    , CAST(serverproperty('InstanceName') AS NVARCHAR(128))
                    ))), 0) AS ImpliedAuthenticationEnabled
    , COALESCE((
            SELECT CAST(r.value_data AS INT)
            FROM sys.dm_server_registry AS r
            WHERE r.registry_key LIKE 'HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Microsoft SQL Server\%\SuperSocketNetLib\Tcp'
            AND r.value_name = 'Enabled'
            ), - 1) AS IsTcpEnabled
FROM sys.configurations
WHERE name = 'external scripts enabled';

The query returns the following columns:

Column Description
IsMLServicesInstalled Returns 1 if SQL Server Machine Learning Services is installed for the instance. Otherwise, returns 0.
ExternalScriptsEnabled Returns 1 if external scripts is enabled for the instance. Otherwise, returns 0.
ImpliedAuthenticationEnabled Returns 1 if implied authentication is enabled. Otherwise, returns 0. The configuration for implied authentication is checked by verifying if a login exists for SQLRUserGroup.

login_name SQL Server login name under which the session is currently executing.
wait_time If the request is currently blocked, this column returns the duration in milliseconds, of the current wait. Is not nullable.
wait_type If the request is currently blocked, this column returns the type of wait. For information about types of waits, see sys.dm_os_wait_stats.
last_wait_type If this request has previously been blocked, this column returns the type of the last wait.

counter_value Total number of instances that the registered external script function has been called on the server. This value is cumulative, beginning with the time that the feature was installed on the instance, and cannot be reset.

Performance counters

View the performance counters related to the execution of external scripts.

Output from the performance counters query

Run the query below to get this output. For more information on the dynamic management view used, see sys.dm_os_performance_counters.
