– SQL Server Monitor , Analyze SQL server Health & find root-cause, receive alerts.

– find root cause of SQL server or database heavy usage

– find root cause Waits

– find root cause Disk Latency

– Several Alerts

– Expensive Query or Procedure Report

– find root cause of deadlock and blocking

You can analyze your MS SQL server as it has following Metric report generation capability :

• CPU & Memory Usage reports : SQL process, Non SQL process and Total CPU Usage based on hourly aggregated and per minute wise.

• SQL Server Waits analysis: Perform SQL server Waits by Database , Wait Types and Query level
• Missing Index analysis
• Expensive Query and Procedure: Easily Generate Reports on expensive SQL Queries, Stored Procedure by overall wise , by IO , by CPU , by Application, by User, by Database etc.
• Storage analysis : Overall Disk Size utilized vs free space, Databases wise total size growth trend graph, Disk drive usage growth analysis trend
• Receiving Alerts : receive alerts when your server is down, when database data or log file exceeds to specific size, when CPU / RAM usage exceeds to specific threshold values, SPACE shortage, any word occurrence of errors/warning/terminate/dead in SQL error log found etc
• SQL Error Log Scan & Report : SQL server Error Log report based on error occurrence , Server connectivity failure or success report
• SQL Server Agent Job Analysis: SQL Server Agent Job Analysis by duration or historical check Alerts on failure or long running.
