Find query bottlenecks

Establish criteria for capturing queries and filter the results to analyze the returned queries. Automatically reduce all active queries to signatures with stripped parameters, present all queries exactly as collected, track the history of the
performance of a query over time, and display the queries with the longest wait times.

Alert predictively

Configure alerts to inform and warn about approaching issues using custom thresholds. Automatically send an email notification, display a message in the Windows taskbar, write an event to the Windows Event Log, execute a SQL and PowerShell script, escalate to System Center Operations Manager, and more.

View expert advice

Identify and resolve performance problems by generating expert recommendations for improving performance including executable scripts. Target some of the most common areas of performance problems, such as queries, server configuration, security, database objects, memory, and more. The intuitive interface makes this feature accessible to a broad range of users.

View top issues and alerts

Display, diagnose, alert, and report on critical performance statistics from a central point of control. Monitor instances, sessions, queries, resources, databases, and services. Gather diagnostic information in real time with the unique agentless
architecture, and replay historical data.

Monitor and analyze continuously

Continuously check in real-time the availability, health, and performance of SQL Server instances. Analyze metrics across hundreds of instances.

Deploy for physical, virtual, & cloud environments

Monitor the performance of physical servers, virtual servers, and cloud deployed servers to get a complete view of the SQL Server environment.

Manage availability groups

Manage the topology of high availability groups. Monitor and alert on clusters, mirrors, and replication to safeguard instances during failover.

Monitor tempdb

Identify and resolve contention and performance problems of the tempdb system. Check and display the space and performance information of tempdb.

Customize counters

Add custom counters for monitoring and reporting. Include any Windows Performance Monitor counters and any SQL queries for application-specific monitoring.

Manage jobs

Monitor and alert on the success, failure, cancellation, and retry of jobs. View all jobs and their last known status, and the complete history of jobs. Also, start and stop jobs.
