Virtualization-aware monitoring

[B.Dax]

Hello,

Monitoring performance of virtualized SQL servers is a bit more tricky so I was wondering if you guys have any plans to extend the monitoring capabilities of SQL Monitor to be "VM aware" (VMware, Hyper-V)... that is, to differentiate and link the database, virtual server, physical server, and storage layers.

Here's an example of a product from your competitors that attempts to resolve some of those concerns: http://www.ignitefree.com/vmware/.

Kind regards,
B.Dax

Added a uservoice suggestion: http://sqlmonitor.uservoice.com/forums/91743-suggestions/suggestions/2936441-virtualization-aware-monitoring

If you agree, please vote for it. Thanks.

PS: I'd still like to see some feedback from Red Gate - preferably inside the uservoice suggestion

Thanks for your feedback - I'll pass this on to the development team and see if I can get any idea if there's something potentially in the pipeline for that.
