I am using the elastic agent SQL Server integration. And the performance index and dashboard. The dashboard expects fields with a prefix: ‘mssql’. And according to the templates this prefix should be ‘mssql.’ But in my data streams all performance fields are preceeded by ‘sql.’
So dashboard stay empty. What’s wrong with ingestion?
Welcome back @hermlam!
Can you share your configuration and which version of the integration you are using? I don't see any known issues on GitHub on the integration, but if nothing looks weird in the configuration it might be worth raising a bug GitHub issue.
Let us know!
Hi Carly,
Thanks for your quick response.
The elastic-agent version is v9.1.4 and the SQL Server Integration is v2.13.0
I am using the default index templates (with ‘mssql.’ prefix
