We've got a growing database server that is quickly getting more active. I wanted to find out how folks monitor their SQL Server 2005 instances? What tools have worked for you? What guidelines have you followed?
In particular, I want to be able to establish which database is driving the most activity, and diagnose which calls or statements are causing the most resource usage. On a bigger picture I want to understand how others are approaching monitoring in general with regards to SQL Server 2005.
Thanks!

SQL Profiler is great, but it's more of a point-in-time diagnostics tool. I'm looking for more of a steady state tool.

Then think of using Quest's co-efficient.

I would suggest using the Reports section of SQL Server 2005 to monitor the performance of the SQL Server at run time.
For Example the following Reports
1> Server Dashboard
2> Performance : Top Queries by Total CPU
3> Performance : Top Queries by Total IO
4> Activity : Total Cursors
All of these reports are the Standard Reports from SQL Server Management Studio.
These reports in turn Query the Dynamic management views,catalog views .
Thanks
