SQL Monitor
How can it benefit your business?
SQL Monitor is a SQL Server performance monitoring tool.
 It’s lightweight
 It shows real-time information about servers
 It quickly alerts the database administrator to problems
 It presents them with exactly the information they need to
make changes fast.
Increase efficiency
Using SQL Monitor to help conduct and maintain regular
system checks can:
 save a database
administrator over two
hours a day
 subsequently save
money for the business
“SQL Monitor saves me a couple of hours a day,
at least. If it’s a really bad day, it probably saves
me six hours.”
Robbie Baxter, SQL Server DBA, Interactive
Intelligence
Avoid potential crises
With the Analysis graph in SQL Monitor:
 database administrators can gain a better understanding
of what is normal for their systems, so that they can
quickly judge the severity of a situation
 risks are reduced
 uptime improves
“A few weeks ago I noticed that the I/O on one of my
production servers was much higher than normal. Using
SQL Monitor I was very quickly able to determine the
cause of the problem. Without SQL Monitor I might not
have noticed the problem for several more hours.”
David Smithey, SQL Server DBA, Curves International

the system.”

Bespoke monitoring that grows with your
business
No matter how complex your system:
 you can monitor issues specific to your business by
adding your own custom metrics to SQL Monitor
 SQL Monitor will fully support your monitoring needs as
your business grows
“I want to know if there is a spike [in blog comments], as nine
times out of ten, it means a spammer has hit the site and I have
some scrubbing of content to do... Custom Alerts continuously
delivers these numbers to me, meaning I can spend less time
running queries and more time building features.”

“SQL Monitor allows me to monitor my
systems and respond to issues on a plethora
of devices. I have been informed of issues
while in church, late at night as I go to bed,
on my phone while driving somewhere, and
other random places.”
