  • Where I work, our DBA team developed a "system outlier" report that's similar to Brent Ozar's sp_blitz.

    It's a powershell script on a daily schedule that polls each server, running 100+ queries looking for things like failed jobs and logins, DDL operations, non-default server or database settings, disk space below threshold, error in mssql log, etc. that deviate from a baseline and have not been added to an exception list. The results are posted to email and  a Slack channel making it easy to review.

    The configuration table where SQL statements for each outlier are defined also incudes a URL linking to an issue specific Confluence page, where we document how to resolve the issue.

    It's a game changer.
