Hi, we are looking to replace our monitoring /alerting tool, which is sitescope (because of some contract issues) with something same. In my past experience I have used ProactiveNet, Idera, uptime spotlight, foglight and MOM. These are all good tools but they provide too much information, way more than what I need .
I need robust alerting tool for few hundred MSSQL servers, with no shenanigans. Just simple to maintain and implement, light weight on resources. Any feedback / suggestions will be highly appreciated.
Thanks!!

Alterting and not much else... Check out Red Gate's SQL Alert. I think it might be exactly your cup of tea. I find it way too weak, but I want all those stacks of data.

Make that SQL Response.
SQL BAK Explorer - read SQL Server backup file details without SQL Server.
Supports backup files created with SQL Server 2005 up to SQL Server 2017.

Ooopsie. That's what I get for using my brain instead of the Mark I Eyeball. I really need a brain upgrade. Thanks.

We don't need much more than the alerting that we get from SQL Response and it works good for that. Hopefully the new version will be out soon. It's supposed to use a database as the alert repository, instead of the method that is used in the current version.

We use just what is built into SQL Server Alerts. I have about 25 alerts that is scripted and whenever we have a new server built we apply the scripts. No frills here... 😉

Hi - I'm part of the team working on the new version of SQL Response here at Red Gate, and I just wanted to confirm that yes, it will be using a SQL Server database as a backend to store all of the collected data..
