I recommend you first check all the available metrics from this receiver and be sure to enable the ones you want.
https://docs.splunk.com/observability/en/gdi/opentelemetry/components/mssql-server-receiver.html

If you don't see the metrics you need available, you may need to write your own custom SQL to retrieve the metrics you need using another receiver called SQL Query Receiver.
