Jose_Manuel_Jurado is there some way to get details around connectivity time? We recently had a day-long outage that wound up being due to our use of Proxy instead of Redirect, with a code base that didn't use pooling (so the proxy CPU hit 100%, which impacted connections). The info that wound up helping everybody find the problem was that the logins had gone from single-digit MS to up to 50-200ms. But I don't know how we, as DBAs, would get that. Thanks!
