Server Performance Monitoring

  • Hi,

    Is it possible to monitor performance of multiple server.

    My question is If we have a group of registered server then can we set on server to monitor performance of all registered server.

    Can we use resource governor/Activity Monitor or any other Sql server tool.?

    Thanks in advance

  • If you have the enterprise level of SQL SErver 2008 or better, you can use the Data Collection, also known as the Management Data Warehouse, to collect performance metrics about multiple servers.

    You can use Performance Monitor to collect from multiple servers, but you'll have to manage the data collected yourself.

  • Thanks for reply.

    I create a MDW to capture different type of event on a central server, But when I view report, it show detail on one server only. Can you suggest me how I can view detail of all servers.

    Thanks

  • Any Suggestion

  • Take a look at utility control point, its more or less the same as MDW but spans multiple servers.

    Plenty of information on it in BOL and MSDN.
