email alert to notify me on High CPU utilization

  • I need to create an email alert to notify me for High CPU utilization. I need the alert only to fire if the CPU is pegged at 100 % for more than 5 minutes. I know there are tools that can do this job for me. But, currently my Company is not interested in buying any third party tools.

    How do I go about creating an alert ?? Thanx in Advance !

  • Under your SQL Agent, you can make use of the Alerts, configure it custom to CPU Util....with a threshold.

    Configure the Response to notify an operator.

  • I cannot find the CPU utilization under the alerts.. Is it under the performance condition alerts ?? Can you please explain...

  • You'll need to target WMI on the remote/local server to monitor CPU
