Home Forums SQL Server 2012 SQL 2012 - General Approximate hours per month to monitor and maintain the health of MSSQL databases? RE: Approximate hours per month to monitor and maintain the health of MSSQL databases?

  • The questions are:

    What EXACTLY are they going to do in this time?

    Do you get an initial assessment?

    Do they provide ongoing metrics about your servers?

    Do they make recommendations based upon their findings without you asking for help?

    If they simply say "we monitor", then you need to ask what they monitor, and what they do when something appears wrong.
