Azure Data Studio - First Responder Kit Extension

This extension provides immediate access to the current First Responder Kit scripts and introductory execution suggestions. (All credit due to http://firstresponderkit.org/)

Installation

The current release is available to download as a .vsix file and can be installed by opening the command palette (ctrl/command+shift+p) and selecting Extensions: Install from VSIX...

Features

Import

Import a script from the First Responder Kit to a new editor by opening the command palette (ctrl/command+shift+p) and selecting an option under First Responder Kit: Import <some script>. To import all scripts at once, select First Responder Kit: Import sp_Blitz and all its friends.

Run

Already have the current scripts loaded to the database? Great! Take the shortcut to execution by opening the command palette (ctrl/command+shift+p) and selecting an option under First Responder Kit: Run <some script>. Several scripts are available in Object Explorer at Server, Database, and Table nodes.

Check Your Current Version

Want to check the sp_Blitz version on a server? You can check your current connection or a server in object explorer and find out if you have the current version.

Documentation Linking in Status Bar

As you work with sp_Blitz and other First Responder Kit scripts, they will be automatically detected in the query editor and a link to documentation is provided in the status bar.

Database Dashboard Tab

Selected elements from the First Responder Kit PowerBI dashboard have been replicated in a dashboard tab. The elements execute against the current database and require the database configured to contain First Responder Kit historical data. For more information on data collection configuration, please see: https://www.brentozar.com/first-aid/first-responder-kit-power-bi-dashboard/
