Hi,
You can use MoM from Microsoft for Monitoring. Incase you have licensing problems then create your own script. Check SQLServerCentral Scripting Section for lot of Monitoring Scripts.
If you are newbie to SQL, I suggest you to learn advanced options using Video tutorials at this site http://www.watchtechvideos.com
Instead of generic question, be precise and specific about one question so that you will get proper replies... All the best!
