+# Monitoring MSSQLServer with KubeDB
+
+KubeDB has native support for monitoring via [Prometheus](https://prometheus.io/). You can use builtin [Prometheus](https://github.com/prometheus/prometheus) scraper or [Prometheus operator](https://github.com/prometheus-operator/prometheus-operator) to monitor KubeDB managed databases. This tutorial will show you how database monitoring works with KubeDB and how to configure Database CRD to enable monitoring.
+
+## Overview
+
+KubeDB uses Prometheus [exporter](https://prometheus.io/docs/instrumenting/exporters/#databases) images to export Prometheus metrics for respective databases. Following diagram shows the logical flow of database monitoring with KubeDB.
+
+<p align="center">
+  <img alt="Database Monitoring Flow"  src="/docs/images/concepts/monitoring/database-monitoring-overview.svg">
+</p>
+
+When a user creates a database CRD with `spec.monitor` section configured, KubeDB operator provisions the respective database and injects an exporter image as sidecar to the database pod. It also creates a dedicated stats service with name `{database-crd-name}-stats` for monitoring. Prometheus server can scrape metrics using this stats service.
+
+## Configure Monitoring
+
+In order to enable monitoring for a database, you have to configure `spec.monitor` section. KubeDB provides following options to configure `spec.monitor` section:
+
+|                Field                               |    Type    |                                                                                     Uses                                                       |
+| -------------------------------------------------- | ---------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
+| `spec.monitor.agent`                               | `Required` | Type of the monitoring agent that will be used to monitor this database. It can be `prometheus.io/builtin` or `prometheus.io/operator`. |
+| `spec.monitor.prometheus.exporter.port`            | `Optional` | Port number where the exporter side car will serve metrics.                                                                                    |
+| `spec.monitor.prometheus.exporter.args`            | `Optional` | Arguments to pass to the exporter sidecar.                                                                                                     |
+| `spec.monitor.prometheus.exporter.env`             | `Optional` | List of environment variables to set in the exporter sidecar container.                                                                        |
+| `spec.monitor.prometheus.exporter.resources`       | `Optional` | Resources required by exporter sidecar container.                                                                                              |
+| `spec.monitor.prometheus.exporter.securityContext` | `Optional` | Security options the exporter should run with.                                                                                                 |
+| `spec.monitor.prometheus.serviceMonitor.labels`    | `Optional` | Labels for `ServiceMonitor` CRD.                                                                                                               |
+| `spec.monitor.prometheus.serviceMonitor.interval`  | `Optional` | Interval at which metrics should be scraped.                                                                                                   |
+
+## Sample Configuration
+
+A sample YAML for MSSQLServer CRD with `spec.monitor` section configured to enable monitoring with [Prometheus operator](https://github.com/prometheus-operator/prometheus-operator) is shown below.
+
+```yaml
+apiVersion: kubedb.com/v1alpha2
+kind: MSSQLServer
+metadata:
+  name: mssql-monitoring
+  namespace: demo
+spec:
+  version: "2022-cu12"
+  replicas: 1
+  tls:
+    issuerRef:
+      name: mssqlserver-ca-issuer
+      kind: Issuer
+      apiGroup: "cert-manager.io"
+    clientTLS: false
+  monitor:
+    agent: prometheus.io/operator
+    prometheus:
+      exporter:
+        port: 9399
+        resources:
+          limits:
+            memory: 512Mi
+          requests:
+            cpu: 200m
+            memory: 256Mi
+        securityContext:
+          allowPrivilegeEscalation: false
+          capabilities:
+            drop:
+              - ALL
+          runAsGroup: 10001
+          runAsNonRoot: true
+          runAsUser: 10001
+          seccompProfile:
+            type: RuntimeDefault
+      serviceMonitor:
+        interval: 10s
+        labels:
+          release: prometheus
+  storageType: Durable
+  storage:
+    storageClassName: standard
+    accessModes:
+      - ReadWriteOnce
+    resources:
+      requests:
+        storage: 1Gi
+  deletionPolicy: WipeOut
+```
+
+Here, we have specified that we are going to monitor this server using Prometheus operator through `spec.monitor.agent: prometheus.io/operator`. KubeDB will create a `ServiceMonitor` CRD in `monitoring` namespace and this `ServiceMonitor` will have `release: prometheus` label.
