Monitoring how to do it?

  • hello,

    I'm an oracle dba coming to sql server for the first time.

    I wonder what is to monitor in an sql server database, is there an integrated solution that emails a report depening on threshold set?

    Thanks, Maverick.

  • Integrated monitoring with 2005 and earlier isn't that sophisticated. You could build your own process to do this. SQL Server 2008 has a monitoring mechanism that is much more sophisticated. If you don't want to build it for yourself in 2005 & earlier, you'll need to look at third party tools like Idera.

  • Idera sql diagnostics manager is what I use and it works well. Redgate also has tools.

  • I'm using the idea tools as well to do monitoring. Although I'm in the process of augmenting that solution by writing some of my own.
