|

When the Auto Update Statistics setting is ON, the Query Optimizer updates statistics when they are used by a query and when they might be out-of-date. Statistics become out-of-date after insert, update, delete, or merge operations change the data distribution in the table or indexed view. The Query Optimizer determines when statistics might be out-of-date by counting the number of data modifications since the last statistics update and comparing the number of modifications to a threshold. The threshold is based on the number of rows in the table or indexed view. The Query Optimizer checks for out-of-date statistics before compiling a query and before executing a cached query plan. Before compiling a query, the Query Optimizer uses the columns, tables, and indexed views in the query predicate to determine which statistics might be out-of-date. Before executing a cached query plan, the Database Engine verifies that the query plan references up-to-date statistics. The AUTO_UPDATE_STATISTICS option applies to statistics created for indexes, single-columns in query predicates, and statistics that are created by using the CREATE STATISTICS statement. This option also applies to filtered statistics.",https://docs.microsoft.com/sql/relational-databases/statistics/statistics#UpdateStatistics,Database,/^(Windows|Linux)$/,"OnPremises, ManagedInstance",,Warning

QueryStoreOn,Query Store should be active,Make sure Query Store actual operation mode is 'Read Write' to keep your performance analysis accurate,"['DefaultRuleset', 'Performance', 'QueryStore', 'Statistics']","The Query Store feature provides you with insight on query plan choice and performance. It simplifies performance troubleshooting by helping you quickly find performance differences caused by query plan changes. Query Store automatically captures a history of queries, plans, and runtime statistics, and retains these for your review. It separates data by time windows so you can see database usage patterns and understand when query plan changes happened on the server. While Query Store collects queries, execution plans and statistics, its size in the database grows until this limit is reached. When that happens, Query Store automatically changes the operation mode to read-only and stops collecting new data, which means that your performance analysis is no longer accurate.",https://docs.microsoft.com/sql/relational-databases/performance/monitoring-performance-by-using-the-query-store,Database,/^(Windows|Linux)$/,"OnPremises, ManagedInstance","[13.0,)",Warning
