Web-based SQL Server monitoring

SQL Monitor is a performance monitoring and alerting tool for SQL Server. It has a web-based UI, so you can check up on your servers wherever you are.

We built it to show you what’s happening on your servers in real time, bring problems to your attention, and give you the right information to decide what to do next.

    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.

    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.
