Performance Monitoring

  • Hi All,

    Want to get an opinion on monitoring performance of multiple SQL Server instances on different servers using native monitoring tools like SQL Profiler, Perf Monitor, Configuration Management, Data Collection, etc.
    If I have 10 database servers, is it better to have one dedicated server running the monitoring tools separate from the 10 database servers?
    Thanks

  • It's not better, it's different

    One server - single point of failure, depending on being able to connect to the other  instances, easier to admin,

    On each server - some load interference from monitoring, each server monitors itself if up, harder to admin.

  • Thanks, Steve. Just wondering what's the best practice out there. I'm so used to Oracle that I have Oracle Enterprise Manager as a dedicated management tool
