Alerts to Monitor Performance

  • Can anyone recommend a good set of Alerts (with threshold levels where appropriate) to set up to pre-empt the usual types of performance issues experienced on an instance? (i.e. caused by users running long/resource consuming queries).

    Am new at monitoring performance levels so please excuse my lack of knowledge in this area, 🙂

    Am very keen to see what other Alerts DBAs are using to monitor their instances?

    Cheers

  • The general list I've looked at are the CPU%, memory pages/sec, page life expectenency, buffer cache hit ratio, disk Qs, % disk time.

    You don't care if someone runs resource intensive queries, unless they affect other users. So you want to establish a baseline and note what you expect, so that when things are high, you can track down the issue.

  • In addition to Steves list I also watch avg disk read/write sec
