-
Web-based user interface
SQL Monitor's web-based UI is accessible from mobile devices and desktop machines, so you can investigate SQL Server performance wherever you are.
-
Straightforward overviews
The Global Overview shows performance data and alert status for each server, so you can spot problems fast. Every machine, server, and database gets a dashboard too.
-
Real time performance data
SQL Monitor's performance statistics are updated every 15 seconds. Historical data is preserved for analysis and baselining, to help pinpoint past performance problems.
-
Centralized alerts
SQL Monitor raises alerts within seconds of a problem occurring. They arrive in a shared Alert Inbox, and you can pick them up by email or use PagerDuty for SMS.
-
Custom metrics
Add T-SQL scripts to make SQL Monitor gather and provide alerts on extra performance data that's important for your servers and applications.
-
User roles
You can specify the access permissions for each user with our new user roles: administrators, standard users, and read-only users.
-
Top 10 expensive queries list
For each database and server, SQL Monitor captures the queries that consume the most resources. You can also look back in time to see which queries caused problems.
-
Built-in analysis
The Analysis tab shows graphs of the data SQL Monitor has collected. You can spot trends, work out baselines, and compare performance over equivalent time periods.
-
Embedded expertise
To help you fix problems faster, alerts and performance metrics contain advice on the possible causes of errors and the other statistics that you should check.
What's new?
Custom metrics
If you want SQL Monitor to collect extra performance data that's particularly important for your servers, you can now add T-SQL scripts to do it. You can analyze this data and receive alerts about it just like any other data that SQL Monitor collects.
If you run applications that store data in SQL Server, you can use custom metrics to monitor and alert on the data they collect. This means you can now track business activity with SQL Monitor. There's more information about custom metrics in the Support Center.
User roles
If your coworkers need access to SQL Monitor, you can now assign them different user roles – administrator, standard user, and read-only – to define the changes that they're able to make.
Perhaps you want your boss to see what's happening on your servers so you can make a case for extra resources – give them read-only permission. You might need a junior colleague to clear some alerts – make them a standard user. They can use SQL Monitor when they need it, and you don't have to worry about what they're getting up to.
