We use it. Like the others said...you wouldn't install it on the SQL server itself, you'd have a dedicated workstation to run it on.Wed, 30 Dec 2009 07:17:04 GMTrothjhttp://www.sqlservercentral.com/Forums/Topic839392-146-1.aspx[quote][b]river1 (12/28/2009)[/b][hr]But , with this apps can people be notified by this two ways? e-mail and mobile phone message?[/quote]Both of the ones I mentioned work with either. After all, it's nothing to send an email to a phone, just like to an email address.Mon, 28 Dec 2009 11:45:32 GMTGrant Fritcheyhttp://www.sqlservercentral.com/Forums/Topic839392-146-1.aspxok guys thank you.I will study the appsMon, 28 Dec 2009 10:24:22 GMTriver1http://www.sqlservercentral.com/Forums/Topic839392-146-1.aspxI've used Servers Alive and What's Up gold for this. They both work. Not free, but they work.Note that it's likely worth paying a little for something if you want to ensure it's up.Mon, 28 Dec 2009 10:13:59 GMTSteve Jones - SSC Editorhttp://www.sqlservercentral.com/Forums/Topic839392-146-1.aspx[quote][b]river1 (12/28/2009)[/b][hr]But , with this apps can people be notified by this two ways? e-mail and mobile phone message?[/quote]It depends on the product. Some yes, some no. Search them online, you can find out what features they have that way.Mon, 28 Dec 2009 09:51:04 GMTGSquaredhttp://www.sqlservercentral.com/Forums/Topic839392-146-1.aspxBut , with this apps can people be notified by this two ways? e-mail and mobile phone message?Mon, 28 Dec 2009 09:48:49 GMTriver1http://www.sqlservercentral.com/Forums/Topic839392-146-1.aspx[quote][b]river1 (12/28/2009)[/b][hr]I don't need to see if my SQL Server service is down...what i need to know is if the server it self is down[/quote]In that case, you don't want something installed on the database servers, as it'll be kinda hard for a program installed on a server to notify you that the server it is installed on is down. You need a centralised diagnostic server. Get demos of the ones that people have mentioned in this thread and try them out.Mon, 28 Dec 2009 09:11:55 GMTGilaMonsterhttp://www.sqlservercentral.com/Forums/Topic839392-146-1.aspxI don't need to see if my SQL Server service is down...what i need to know is if the server it self is downMon, 28 Dec 2009 09:02:17 GMTriver1http://www.sqlservercentral.com/Forums/Topic839392-146-1.aspxIt's not free but I love Idera's Diagnostic Manager. It'll do what you want and more. You also might want to take a look at Red Gate's SQL Alert. It's focused on exactly what you're looking for.Mon, 28 Dec 2009 08:28:05 GMTGrant Fritcheyhttp://www.sqlservercentral.com/Forums/Topic839392-146-1.aspxi just googled "free system monitoring software" and found lots of stuff;you want to watch for more than just the SQL server service being up or down; you've also got to see if there is a network issue, or even if the whole server is offline/down.Mon, 28 Dec 2009 07:11:55 GMTLowellhttp://www.sqlservercentral.com/Forums/Topic839392-146-1.aspxHi, I need a program that i can install on my database servers so that if the server goes down i receive a e-mail message and a message on my mobile phone.Do yoiu know any app that can do this? free if possible :)Thank youMon, 28 Dec 2009 06:50:27 GMTriver1
