The Monitoring of Dynamics Business Central / Dynamics NAV solutions and the SQL Server has long since become a widespread tool for monitoring and maintaining IT systems. Especially with regard to performance, monitoring solutions are gaining more and more importance and are indispensable for the smooth operation of ERP systems such as Dynamics NAV/D365BC.

V8 Search XE Version 4




Less guessing, more facts

V8 Search XE 4 has a powerful set of tools for automatic AL source code analysis of Dynamics Business Central performance problems. The V8 Performance Profiler gives you the ability to see in real time the Dynamics objects that are causing locks in tables or timeout.

Event tracing provides detailed information about what is happening on the Business Central server and in the application when users are working with Business Central. This can help you identify and analyze issues or conditions that are impacting performance.


Live monitoring of Business Central servers with V8 services

V8 Search XE's "live" event tracing allows you to dynamically monitor Business Central Server without having to restart the server or Business Central clients. Using the V8 Event Tracing Client, you can start and stop event tracing sessions and then view the tracing event data from the V8 database.

You can use event tracing to track the following operations on Business Central Server instances:

  • Execution of Business Central reports, queries and XMLports.
  • Execution of SQL statements by Business Central Server.
  • Execution of AL functions.
  • Telemetry.
  • Windows event log events.


Find and fix errors quickly

Performance analysis is not exactly your favourite activity?
That could change. The integrated search module in V8 Search XE is now even smarter.

You get higher performance than ever before, for example, for the following tasks:

  • Fix problems wherever V8 Search XE shows them, whether in SQL Server or AL source code.
  • Fix problems wherever V8 Search XE shows them, whether in SQL Server or AL source code.
  • Connect SQL Server to the Dynamics Business Central world easily and quickly.


V8 Performance Toolkit. It’ll blow your mind.

The V8 Performance Toolkit (V8PT) is part of V8 Search XE and consists of performance monitoring tools that provide detailed performance profiles of Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central / NAV ERP applications.

Components of the V8 Performance Toolkit:
The V8 Performance Toolkit consists of two independent tools:
V8 Performance Recorder (V8PR) and V8 Performance Analyzer (V8PA). Basic procedures and a detailed walkthrough can be found in the V8 Search XE Help.

V8 Performance Toolkit


Oh yeah, it’s that good. See for yourself.

V8PR (V8 Services) is a powerful recording tool that creates event trace records for Windows (ETW). You can run V8PR from the V8 Search XE user interface or from the command line. V8PR provides built-in profiles that allow you to select the specific events for Dynamics NAV Server instances to be recorded. Alternatively, you can create custom profiles in XML.
V8PR can also be invoked and controlled using the V8PRControl API (Application Programming Interface). You can easily generate a recording using the V8PR User Interface (UI). Use built-in recording profiles to analyze table locks (BL), deadlocks (DL), long durations (LD), poor system or application performance, or other SQL Server performance issues associated with Dynamics 365 Business Central or Dynamics NAV.
V8PR stores all events in the V8 database.

V8 Performance Recorder


And lastly, this one.
V8 Performance Analyzer!

V8PA is a powerful analysis tool that combines a very flexible user interface with comprehensive features and data tables that can be pivoted and have full text search capabilities. V8 Performance Analyzer visualizes tracings from V8 Performance Recorder as charts and tables so you can analyze Dynamics 365 BC / NAV system and application performance.

Using Scenario to Measure Performance:
You can use performance measurements to record common scenarios such as table locks. You can also select different scenarios together for recording. The new functionality of analyzing event trace data can be run from the Blockings, Deadlocks and Long Durations dialog boxes.
