Monitoring Azure SQL Database with SQL Monitor
Grant Fritchey explains the Azure-tailored metrics and alerts that you need to diagnose performance problems with your Azure SQL Databases, and let you know which resource (CPU, data IO or log IO) is the bottleneck. Read moreTracking Queries in Redgate SQL Monitor
SQL Monitor v12.1.28 has added functionality to track queries. This blog post will outline what this does and how it works. What is a tracked query? Tracked queries is a new feature on the Server Overview page for SQL Monitor. It was added in preview in SQL Monitor v12.1.28. This feature allows you to mark Read moreTop Query Search in SQL Monitor

A SQL Server query is suddenly running slowly, for no obvious reason. Grant Fritchey shares a 5-point plan to help you track down the cause and fix the problem. Read moreIs Tempdb Causing a Bottleneck?
One of your SQL Server instance shows a major dip in performance or throughput, affecting all the user databases. You notice that the slow interludes coincide, as if orchestrated. On investigation, it appears that several transactions running over that period were using a lot of space in tempdb. However, which of them, if any, are causing the tempdb bottleneck, and why? Read moreWhen SQL Server Performance Goes Bad: Rogue Indexes
Phil Factor explains how SQL Monitor helps focus performance tuning efforts on the tables and queries where 'rogue indexes' might be a significant problem, and then how to identify both 'missing' indexes that might be beneficial to the overall workload, and those that are unused or duplicated, and so are doing more harm than good. Read moreWhen SQL Server Performance Goes Bad: Implicit Conversions
In this article, you'll learn how to detect and remove a common cause of SQL Server query performance problems: reliance on implicit datatype conversions. We'll use a combination of plan cache queries, extended events, and SQL Monitor. Read moreIntroduction to Analyzing Waits using SQL Monitor
Phil Factor sets out with the modest aim of giving you enough of an introduction to waits to better understand the wait information you get from a SQL Server monitoring tool like SQL Monitor, and the rather overwhelming amount of information available in the underlying DMVs and Extended Events. Read moreAutomate Responses to Bad Deployments with Redgate Monitor
Jamie Wallis explains how SQL Monitor can both reveal quickly who ran a deployment, and when, and automate the incident-response workflow to ensure it's dealt with swiftly. By extending such workflows to development and test servers, as well as production, the feedback cycle starts earlier, and you can stop problems from ever reaching the users.
