Monitoring exceptions, key to being exceptional. Flawless logic ;)

Idera SQL Diagnostic Manager is one of the best SQL Server monitoring tools available IMHO. BigGrin

The hard part is getting there, having the monitoring setup as you would like. Transforming from add-ons to smoothly integrated. Still playing with various nuts and bolts

It is hard. I can't quite decide how much to build and how much to integrate. I do like the "custom metrics" in SQL Monitor, which solve some of the issues I've had in the past.

I do still wish it were a distributed system.

I tried RedGate's SQL Monitor a couple of times (mainly because of the price) but in the end I had to uniinstall it. It was just hogging all the memory and constantly hanging up all the time. Idera has a much tighter product IMHO, but it does costs more. BigGrin
