Whether you're an experienced database professional, just starting your career or need to take care of databases on the side, Redgate Monitor gets you up and running quickly without sacrificing the depth of the diagnostic insights you need.
Redgate Monitor is built to scale with the ever-increasing growth in server estates and the complexity of how data is hosted. Once you start using Redgate Monitor, it will grow with your data and your needs.
Instead of just tracking issues, Redgate Monitor allows you to spot potential problems early, while you have time to plan the best response, rather than firefighting alerts as they occur.
Integration with deployment tools such as Redgate Flyway and the ability to provide developers access to the diagnostic data helps jointly understand the impact of deployments (e.g. on CPU) and improves collaboration between developers and DBAs.
Minimize manual efforts in ensuring data security and configuration compliance with instant visibility into access rights, streamlined compliance checks, and automated server configuration audits against gold standards.
With various information and training resources and a big community of database professionals, we’re there to empower you get the most out of monitoring your servers.
“I wanted to be more proactive by helping developers gain control over what went wrong, when it went wrong, and to be able to show them how they could fix it.”
With Redgate Monitor, Digital Outsource Services is able to catch deployment issues before they impact the business - saving 15 hours a week in manual checking.
“Monitor lets us quickly know what the exact problem is, so we can jump on it and fix it before the customer even notices.”
“The alerting is really helpful, being able to filter out the noise and get exactly what we need.”
TruStone Financial uses Redgate Monitor to assess which databases to migrate to the cloud and control cloud database spend.
With complete support for SQL Server hosted on Virtual Machines, Azure SQL Databases, Google Cloud, and Amazon RDS or EC2, you can monitor on-premises, virtual machines, elastic pools, and Managed Instances all within the same dashboard.
Redgate Monitor supports multiple base monitors, and one base monitor will cope with up to 400 servers, with minimal overhead. Even for very large server estates, spread across different networks, your team will retain a simple picture of the overall health, performance characteristics, and security of your estate.
Cut your daily server and database checks to minutes. The single pane of glass shows you the status and key metrics for your estate in one place. Customizable alerts can be tailored to your SQL Server environment to allow you to stay proactive.
