SELF-HOSTED DIAGNOSTIC REASONING

The SQL Server Agent That Investigates.

The SQL Server Agent That Investigates.

Monitoring tells you something happened. AgentDBA investigates the SQL Server evidence, reasons across what it finds, and tells you what the evidence supports — and what it doesn’t.

A DIFFERENT OPERATING MODEL

This isn’t monitoring. It’s autonomous diagnostic reasoning.

Monitoring continuously watches for conditions and raises alerts. AgentDBA is invoked when you want an investigation. It decides what diagnostic evidence to examine, reasons across what it finds, and returns an evidence-bound assessment.

TRADITIONAL MONITORING

Observes conditions and raises alerts.

Continuously watches metrics and conditions

Detects thresholds, failures and events

Raises alerts when configured conditions are met

Leaves investigation and correlation to the engineer

SIMPLE EXAMPLE

Backup overdue

AGENTDBA

Investigates evidence on demand.

Invoked on demand for an investigation

Selects diagnostic areas based on the investigation

Reasons across evidence from multiple diagnostic modules

Ranks findings by severity and confidence

Explains what the evidence supports

States explicitly when root cause cannot be proven

INVESTIGATION EXAMPLE

Investigates the backup state, relevant job failures and supporting evidence — then reports only relationships the evidence can prove.

Evidence first. If the cause cannot be supported by collected evidence, AgentDBA does not invent one.

CONTROLLED INVESTIGATION PROCESS

From question to evidence-backed conclusion.

From question to evidence-backed conclusion.

AgentDBA performs an investigation as a controlled reasoning process. It gathers approved diagnostic evidence, decides what to inspect next, and either concludes from the evidence or escalates when appropriate.

1. INVOKE

Start an investigation

A DBA or operator asks AgentDBA to investigate the SQL Server instance or perform a health assessment.

2. GATHER

Collect approved evidence

AgentDBA selects from its available diagnostic modules and gathers structured, read-only evidence through approved diagnostic tools.

3. REASON

Decide what to inspect next

The reasoning loop evaluates the findings, determines whether more evidence is required, and chooses the next diagnostic action within controlled limits.

4. CONCLUDE OR ESCALATE

Return what the evidence supports

AgentDBA prioritises findings using severity and confidence, produces an evidence-bound assessment, or escalates when a condition requires immediate attention.

AgentDBA can call another diagnostic tool, conclude, or escalate — it does not continue investigating indefinitely.

SECURITY

Designed to operate safely around production SQL Server.

Designed to operate safely around production SQL Server.

Read-only operation

Investigations gather evidence without changing SQL Server.

Approved diagnostic allow list

Uses approved stored-procedure diagnostic tools.

No LLM-generated SQL

Diagnostic actions remain controlled and known.

Self-hosted deployment

Operates inside the customer’s environment.

Customer-controlled AI provider

Uses the organisation’s configured endpoint.

Auditable diagnostic activity

Activity is structured for review and traceability.

Evidence-backed causal claims

States when the evidence cannot prove a cause.
