Hi all,
I am new to the db world so please let me know if I don't make any since.
I was wondering if there is an open source SQL database monitoring tool out there that I can run on my desktop that would give me a log of what is going on on the database (or the server).
Thanks.
We are in plan to build a Monitoring tool using PowerShell and Performance Monitor which could monitor 10 to 20 servers. Do you have any reference of any existing tool using Performance Monitor to monitor the SQL Server and available for free? I didn't want to put some effort, if something is available already.

I have built a website using asp.net 2005 that uses sql server 2005 database,
my question is,
which tool can I use to monitor the connections to the database,
because I feel that some of them are left open for a very long time.
Thanks in advance!

SQL Stripes is an application that helps you, the SQL Server DBA, having complete control over your various SQL servers.
From the high-level of monitoring essential components - to the low-level of analyzing your various databases, tables etc…
This is *not* another Query-Analyzer like tool, nor does it intend to be. The idea is that each one of your servers gets a 'Stripe' which contains valuable real-time data on the selected server.
SQL Stripes is an intuitive and easy to use application, which is intended to make your DBA life a bit easier.
SQL Stripes is completely free. Please send your feedback/questions/suggestions
Thanks and enjoy!
Hi everyone,
I am looking for sql monitoring tool. I have found tools from Idera and Quest but the price is a bit expensive.
The tool I am lloking for is able to show historical information such as CPU/memory/disk usage.
Any good suggestion? Thank you in advance.
is it possible to change the settings on this tool. i want to have it so that it does not time out at all? or is that possible??
View 1 Replies View RelatedHi all.I'm looking for a tool which should act like some kind of middleware/logical layer bewtween the SQL server and the webbased user interface.- It should be possible to easily create simple web forms (only datainput and output) without programming effort by "clicking" the fieldsand their order on the web mask within an admnistrative interface.- It should also be bossible to add "new fields" to the database,including field type, permissions, value lists etc. (excluding anybusiness logic) without programming effort by administration.I know, that most workflow tools or "Trouble Ticket Tools", based ondatabases have this feature to easily configure new masks and add newfields to the database, but i need it as an tool-unspecific layer forthe MS SQL Server.Thank you very much for your feedback, any ideas are welcome!Best regards, Heiko.

Is there a way I could get the total cpu usuage of the box other than Task Manager and Profiler
Thanks

I understand the rule of thumb that the CPU should not be over 90%. If you take the four counters (%processor time,%privileged time, %user time, %interrupt time, and interrupt seconds), what combination gives you your CPU
time ?
Hello,
I am looking for a reliable and easy manner to poll a domain for any box running the sql server service. Our current monitoring tool doesn't do this.
Many thanks!
I have been asked to monitor SQL to tell me when we are performingbetter than others. Can anyone tell me what kinds of scheduled jobs orscripts they utilize?

I have implemented health monitoring for my web-site, using the SQL provider.
Health monitoring works fine when the website is run from VS2005, using the built in web server, all the expected events are inserted into the aspnet database. However when I deploy the site onto IIS, no events are ever inserted into the database.
I would appreciate some help figuring out why this is happening! The code that implements the health monitoring in my web.config file is:1 <healthMonitoring

Can anyone show me in SQL7 how to obtain Available Space on a particular filegroup in a database (not the database or datafile).
I am trying to include this in a script to monitor my database which uses Filegroups and I have every other info that I need (from the sysfiles table) except the available space. Thanks in advance!
Hello,
I do all my monitoring locally for disk space, locks, blocking, I've 10 production servers, We need to centralised the monitoring server so from one server all the monitors can be done. Does anyone has any ideas how memory, cpus consumption, disk space, all alerts, locks, blocking, log space and job completition monitoring can be handled.
Any idea or guidance is appreciated
Thanks

In Sql 7 What is the easiest way to monitor the number of connections? I have been asked to create a report that monitors the number of logins every hour.
Please Advise, and thanks in Advance.
Hi,
I am new to sql server and sould like to know how I can monitor the server performance on sql servers 6.5 and 7. In sybase we can run sp_sysmon. Is there anything similar to this for sql server.
Thanks.

Folks!
Is it possible to monitor several SQL servers in one window and notify operator about error messages.
May be some new software can make it possible?
Thank you.
Can anybody help me with the following on my MS SQL Server 2000 database.
1. All tables should have a lastModificationDate column. Any changes and inserts should have the system time updated with a trigger or so. We shouldn’t be inserting the value using SQL statements into this column.
2. There shouldn’t be any deletes on the table. Any deleted records should be marked as inactive or deleted, so it won’t come in queries, but should be physically present in the tables.
3. A modification log table, which will carry the table name, the column identifier, user modified, old value and the timestamp.
Thanks
Kishore
I would just like to know what everyone uses to monitor SQL usage? We have a SQL 2000 server that already has several applications sharing it and everyone wants to keep forcing more onto it.
I want to be able to judge when this server has reached it's capacity or how much more it can allow. Can SQL profiler alone do this for me?
Thanks.
Does anyone know of a way to determine which SPs or which tables are being accessed the most heavily or often from an application? I have inherited a site that is heavily used, but poorly tuned. However we have distributed C/S apps that hit the server and do not contain debug code. In addition, the SPs are encrypted and I do not want to replace them in the short term with new SPs that log hits.
I realize I can use triggers, but is there any other method?
Is there any way to watch the activity of the tempdb in 6.5 similar to using 7.0's profiler. I would like to see how often it is utilized and how large it grows during utilization. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
David
Hi all,
I'm looking into the possibility of buying (as I doubt there's any good free options) a SQL Server Monitoring tool.
Has anyone got any particular recommendations - good or bad? I know a little about Spotlight, but not much else.
Thanks in advance.

Hi All,
I'm wonderring if someone has the script which can run on each server to get all dbs size , free space on this server ? Curently I am using the enterprise manager to check the db space usage manually, but this is very frustrated due to a server has many dbs located on it
Thanks,
I believe we are reaching some limitations with SQL Server and I have been monitoring certain items in the Performance Monitor such as: pages/sec; Bytes received/sec; Bytes sent/sec; % disk read time; % disk write time; % processor time; Log growths; percent log used; and transactions/sec. I notice quite a few spikes in Bytes sent/sec and when the % disk read time spikes for more than a few seconds, users notice a delay.
My thoughts are that 1: We need more memory on our SQL Server box (we currently have 768 meg, need a faster SQL Server box and need to distribute the load of some databases to another SQL Server; and 2: We also have a bottleneck when users are connecting via Citrix to SQL Server via our Terminal2 server (which has been tracked down to simply a slow Terminal2 box with a slow nic card - This has been confirmed that our Terminal2 is definately taking a toll and will time-out when large queries are executed.)
We also have been monitoring each of the server boxes. Are there any other recommendations for SQL Server Performance monitor that anyone could see which would be good to monitor (there are several things which can be selected to monitor?)
We've also noticed that bound MSAccess forms seem to play a significant role in the long spikes for Bytes sent/sec. I'm assuming this might be normal for bound forms and the slow SQL Server box with limited memory. Unbound MSAccess forms do not seem to present any problem and show as quick spikes for the Performance monitor.
Another problem is that I also can't seem to tie back the Performance monitor spikes with specific transactions in the SQL Profiler. Is there any way to pinpoint a spike in the Performance monitor with a specific transaction other than trying to catch the spike and quickly switching to SQL Profiler?
We are planning on upgrading our SQL Server box and also adding in another SQL Server box to help distribute the load with certain databases. We are also getting a faster box for our Terminal2 (citrix) server as these slow-downs/time-outs do not happen internally or when we use Remote Desktop Connection to connect externally (only when we connect externally via Terminal2).
Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thank you in advance.
I'm a SQL Server 7/2000 DBA and manages about 40 servers in different networks. Every morning I check through the Enterprise Manager if all Jobs (backup, maintenance, etc.) have run successfully. This check costs me 1 hour per day.
Because of a reorganization I've got some new college's and lost some college's. My new college's think this is to much work, so it should be automated. They only want the failed jobs to report an error on a website or something like that, and don't want to check 40 servers. I don't agree in this, because I'm affraid I'm going to miss some errors.
How do you do your checks every morning?
Thanks,
Marco
Hi,
We are evaluating proactive monitoring tools for our heterogeneous database environment, currently comprising of Sybase and MS SQL Server.
Our current options are Bradmark Surveillance, Quest Foglight/Spotlight, MOM (SQL Server only) & Embarcadero Performance Center.
Are there any recommended tools from your experience? Or any tools with with you have had bad experience?
Tia.
