This EAP contains two new features:

• New user roles
• Custom metrics and alerts

New user roles

SQL Monitor now supports different access permissions for Administrators, Standard users and Read-only users. Administrators control user access to SQL Monitor by creating role-specific passwords, and then sharing them with users depending on their access requirements.

Custom metrics and alerts

Create your own custom metric definition, so that you can collect, analyze, and alert on the data that's most important in your environment. Significant enhancements have been made since the last EAP, and a simple three page wizard guides you through the steps required to create custom metrics and alerts.

To help you get started, we've created a short guide including fully tested example queries. You can download this here as a PDF.

We'd love to hear your feedback on both these features.

To download the early access build, please enter your name and email. The download will start automatically.

We ask for your name and address to help us see how many people have accessed the EAP and so we can contact you with fixes or updates.

We don't use this data for sales and we never pass your information to third parties.
