Single server install introduction

In this class, we will provide an introduction to the single-server installation of Redgate Monitor and what is involved in setting up all its components on one machine. This includes the Web Service, the Base Monitor Service, and the Redgate Monitor Database. Here’s a brief overview of the process: 

  1. Web Service: This component hosts the web interface for Redgate Monitor. It can run on a self-contained server using Kestrel or be hosted on an existing IIS server 
  1. Base Monitor Service: This service collects and processes monitoring data from the servers you want to monitor. It can run on the same machine as the Web Service 
  1. Redgate Monitor Database: This database stores all the collected monitoring data. It is used by the Base Monitor service to store and retrieve data 

For a single server setup, you will install all these components on one Windows Server machine. This setup is suitable for monitoring SQL Server instances within a local network domain and requires minimal preparation.
