Connected Sessions chart

The Connected Sessions chart contains an area graph showing the number of SQL Azure sessions over time. If you have a non-zero User Connections parameter set on the Azure being monitored, the Y-axis is scaled to the value you specified, which allows you to see how close you are to this limit. Sessions are categorized as:

• Internal SQL Azure System sessions
• Active user sessions
• Idle user sessions

A Session is a single connection to SQL Azure. Some applications establish multiple sessions to SQL Azure. If there are multiple applications running on a target computer that are all communicating with SQL Azure, they will also have created multiple SQL Azure sessions.
