Database Server load stat gathering

  • Hi,

    I need to gather capacity planning stats on a DB server that is heavily used by 10 .Net Applicatons. All apps are coming from the same web server.

    I want daily stats like

    1) when is the most busy period is

    2) which app take up most resource etc

    Can anyone suggest a good way to do this?

    Regards,

    Michael

  • Out of the box, without installing anything else, you can use perfmon to gather performance metrics on the server and set up a server-side trace to capture the performance metrics of the queries. This article [/url]is a high-level introduction that ought to get you started.

  • Thanks Grant, your article is very helpful.

  • I'm glad it helped. Understand though, it really is introductory. You're going to blow past it pretty quick. Come back and post when you have questions on details as you implement stuff. People here will help.
