Introduction to DLM Dashboard

DLM Dashboard tracks your database schemas and alerts you when they change.

As a SQL Server user, you want to make sure all your databases are in the right state.

DLM Dashboard monitors up to 50 of your databases, and sends you an email alert as soon as your databases start to drift, or change from their expected state.

On the web dashboard, you can see exactly what changed, who made the changes, and when. You get a full history, with line-by-line differences, and a clear audit trail of your database moving from development to production.

“DLM Dashboard is the last stand between you and a database drift. We use it in all our stable environments because, sooner or later, the moment when you need to know what has changed, when it was changed, and who has changed it will arrive.”

Eduardo Piairo, Database Administrator, Celfinet

“With DLM Dashboard I can monitor the Dev server more closely, which means I discover databases being deployed onto the Dev box, rather than just being called when it breaks.”

Shaun Atkinson, SQL DBA

“We were audited for regulatory reasons and DLM Dashboard helped tremendously in showing how we are using best practices for moving SQL from dev to production.”

Mickey Stuewe, Sr. Database Developer, Quick Bridge Funding

“A customer asked for a solution to help their database team regain control of a mature environment with multiple owners. DLM Dashboard helped to achieve this and more.”

Phil Grayson, Principal Consultant, xTEN

How does DLM Dashboard work?

DLM Dashboard detects schema changes on SQL Server instances you want to monitor. If the schema has changed, DLM Dashboard updates the dashboard interface and alerts you.

DLM Dashboard takes a schema snapshot when a database has changed. It compares this snapshot to snapshots of the previous schema states, and records the differences so you can see the changes in the dashboard.

In order to know who made the changes and receive the change notifications quickly, DLM Dashboard uses a DDL trigger on the servers you are monitoring. This DDL trigger adds details of schema changes to a table in database RedGate, and notifies DLM Dashboard in real time.
