Root Cause Discovery For Availability Group Failovers

Sourabh Agarwal announces a new tool to determine why your Availability Group failed over:

The first step in using the utility is to configure the configuration.json file to include the location of the data files and the details of the availability group for which analysis is being done. For a correct analysis, all replicas in the availability groups needs to be listed in the configuration file.

The next step is to capture the various logs from each of the replicas and add those under the data folder. The following files are required for the analysis.

  • SQL error logs

  • Always On Availability Groups Extended Event Logs

  • System Health Extended Event Logs

  • System log

  • Windows cluster log

This looks interesting.
