Sql Server Performance Monitor
Monitoring SQL Server performance is the main function of the miniDBA products (non monitoring features include healthchecks, schema/t-sql analysis and historic analysis)
Ad-hoc Monitoring
- miniDBA Desktop can connect directly to any SQL Server
- Desktop users don't have to wait for administrators to setup monitoring - they connect themselves from their desktop
- Temporary environments traditionally don't get monitored but getting connected is simple enough to start monitoring straight away
- Monitoring Dev/QA/UAT environments is simple and any DBA, developer or tester can gain instant insights while working with these servers
24*7 Monitoring
- miniDBA Server is a Windows service that runs 24*7, raising alerts when servers are about to run into problems
- Configurable alerts let you choose how you get notified of problems and under what conditions they are sent
- Custom SQL Query alerts let you get notified when a query you write returns a particular value
- Emails, Windows Event Log messages and miniDBA Desktop visual alerts can all be raised by the service
Mobile Monitoring
- miniDBA Web Monitor is a website accessible like an app on any web browser or mobile device
- It uses miniDBA Server as a data source and displays monitoring metrics and alerts while on the move
- A central display of all alerts across all enterprise servers lets you see an instant snapshot of all issues in your enterprise
- Web Monitor has no limits on the number of users that can connect to it - licensing is done within miniDBA Server, per connected SQL Server
