Pull request overview

This PR introduces two new OpenTelemetry asset packages for the Elastic integrations repository: microsoft_sqlserver_otel for SQL Server monitoring and azure_activity_otel for Azure Activity Logs. The SQL Server package is comprehensive, including 5 dashboards, 13 alerting rule templates, 5 SLO templates, and detailed documentation. The Azure package is smaller, containing dashboards and basic documentation.

Changes:

New microsoft_sqlserver_otel package with dashboards (Overview, Memory & Saturation, Concurrency & Errors, Database I/O, Query Performance), SLO templates, alerting rule templates, and setup documentation covering the OTel SQL Server receiver.
New azure_activity_otel package with a dashboard for Azure Activity Log alerts collected via OpenTelemetry.
Supporting assets including SVG logos, screenshot images, _dev/shared YAML dashboard specs, changelog, license, and validation files for both packages.

Build: https://buildkite.com/elastic/integrations/builds/39356

What failed: Buildkite job :white_check_mark: Check go sources failed in .buildkite/scripts/check_sources.sh.

Error:

Key log excerpt

Running dependency: github.com/elastic/integrations/dev/codeowners.Check
Error: error validating packages in directory 'packages': error checking manifest 'packages/azure_activity_otel/manifest.yml': there is no owner for "packages/azure_activity_otel" in ".github/CODEOWNERS"

Root cause: This PR adds a new package at packages/azure_activity_otel/... (including packages/azure_activity_otel/manifest.yml) but the CODEOWNERS update only adds /packages/microsoft_sqlserver_otel in .github/CODEOWNERS (hunk around line ~344 in this PR). There is no /packages/azure_activity_otel entry, so dev/codeowners.Check fails.

Recommended fix: Add a CODEOWNERS entry for the new package, e.g. in .github/CODEOWNERS near other Azure package entries:

/packages/azure_activity_otel @(owning-team)

Use the same owner team used for related Azure observability packages in this repo.

Verification: Confirmed from Buildkite failed job logs for build #39356 and PR file list (.github/CODEOWNERS patch + added packages/azure_activity_otel/* files).

I ran kb-dashboard 0.4.0 upgrade validation on this PR in an isolated worktree.

Results

packages/microsoft_sqlserver_otel/_dev/shared

Upgrade and post-upgrade compile succeeded with 0.4.0.
Please apply these commands in your branch and commit both YAML + regenerated JSON artifacts.

Suggested commands:

devamanv · 2026-03-20T11:09:57Z

Updates:

Compiled the dashboards with 0.4.0 and regenerated the JSON artifacts. The dashboards are now up-to-date
Fixed the y-axis labels and title for panels to make them consistent across all the dashboards.

@ishleenk17 could you please take a look once more?

I've got a bit confused by few things (in comments). Can you please clarify?
