AppInsight for SQL - best way to monitor sql 2012 AG

george29

I have a 4 node sql 2012 always on availability group. what is the best way to monitor this with appinsight?

do i just monitor all 4 nodes? or do i create a monitor for the sql cluster name? and point Appinsight to that name only?

thanks

My general method in a situation like that would be your 2nd notion.

SQL Cluster Name/IP: ICMP node with AppInsight for SQL applied

4 member Servers: WMI/SNMP for statistical polling (no application monitoring on individual nodes)
