Custom Metrics Sharing Site

The SQL Monitor team, in collaboration with SQL Server MVPs and the wider SQL Server community, has put together a custom metrics site where users can add and review T-SQL scripts for monitoring extra metrics relevant to their environment.

Use these custom metrics with SQL Monitor to monitor and alert on the data that's important to you and your business. Scripts from the site can be imported directly into your copy of SQL Monitor, so you can get started with custom monitoring immediately.

Visit SQL Monitor Metrics and let us know what you think.
