Tejas Shah announces an improvement to sys.dm_os_ring_buffers in SQL Server 2019 RC1 on Linux:
Sys.dm_os_ring_buffers DMV has been a key DMV used for monitoring SQL Server by built-in tools as well as third party monitoring utilities. When SQL Server 2017 was released on Linux, unfortunately this DMV did not return correct CPU usage information by SQL Server process. SQL Server team is glad to announce that the starting with SQL Server 2019 release candidate, the sys.dm_os_ring_buffers DMV returns SQL CPU utilization correctly. This improvement should benefit the SQL Server monitoring ecosystem on Linux by providing a way to monitor SQL Server CPU usage and enable decision making to engage corrective action if required.
This brings it in line with what we have on Windows.
