Brad,

I appreciate your work! I do have a question though.

With respect to monitoring SAN activity via an OS source (perfmon/sysmon), a while back I was discouraged from relying on anything but expensive proprietary SAN software - likely by a vendor. As a government DBA managing a couple thousand SQL instances, I'm always trying to save your money. 🙂 If you have a moment, would you mind speaking or linking to that apparent misdirection?

Again, many thanks,

Patrick
