This Gemini CLI extension provides a set of tools to interact with [Cloud SQL for SQL Server](https://cloud.google.com/sql/docs/sqlserver) monitoring metrics. It allows you to fetch a wide range of database metrics, enabling comprehensive monitoring of database performance and health directly from the [Gemini CLI](https://google-gemini.github.io/gemini-cli/), using natural language prompts. Learn more about [Gemini CLI Extensions](https://github.com/google-gemini/gemini-cli/blob/main/docs/extensions/index.md). ## Why Use the Cloud SQL for SQL Server Observability Extension? * **Natural Language Management:** Stop wrestling with complex monitoring queries. Explore monitoring data by describing what you want in plain English. * **Seamless Workflow:** As a Google-developed extension, it integrates seamlessly into the Gemini CLI environment. No need to constantly switch contexts for common tasks. > [!IMPORTANT] > **We Want Your Feedback!** > Please share your thoughts with us by filling out our feedback [form][form]. > Your input is invaluable and helps us improve the project for everyone.
