I'd be interested to know (from people who have seen/used both) what the difference is between this and Idera's SQL Diagnostic Manager...

A really neat product, I'm especially interested in how you came up with this list of performance counters, and if the list is considered proprietary:

Machine: processor time
Avg. CPU queue length
Machine: memory used
Memory pages/sec
Network utilization
Disk used
Disk avg. read time
Disk avg. write time
Disk transfers/sec
Avg. disk queue length
User connections
SQL Server: processor time
SQL Server: total memory
SQL Server: target memory
Batch requests/sec
Compilations/sec
Compilations/batch
Recompilations/sec
Buffer cache hit ratio
Buffer free pages
Buffer page life expectancy
Full scans/sec
Page splits/sec
Page splits/batch request
Latch wait time
Lock timeouts/sec
Lock waits/sec
Avg. lock wait time
Transactions/sec
Active transactions
Total size
Data size
Log size
Log space used
Log bytes flushed/sec
Log flushes/sec
Log flush waits/sec

Thanks for the wonderful detail about each counter. It would be nice to see it posted on this website.

Hi,

Thanks a lot for your feedback.

We came up with this list of counters after extensive research, feedback/ review from many DBA's and from our Beta/ EAP (Early Access Program) users. The help on the Analysis page has also been reviewed by multiple DBA's including Brad McGehee also.

Regards,
Priya

Hi Robert

Thanks for the great feedback on SQL Monitor - glad you like what you see.

First of all - the list is certainly not proprietary. Feel free to use it - I hope it's useful to you.

On your main question - we put together the list by talking to a lot of DBAs and doing a lot of research. We asked all sorts of DBAs the question - "What do you use to help you find and fix problems?" and we came up with that list.

And great that the descriptions are useful - that was the aim of those!

Regards

Is email the only method that can be used to send notifications for an alert?

Hi Michael

Yes, it is at the moment, though this is very configurable.

What sort of notification were you looking for?

Ben

about 9 months ago i started to really monitor our SQL servers and set up perfmon. i just selected any counter which i thought could be remotely useful. made some reports in SSIS but haven't had much time for really doing something with the data
