SQL 2012 :: Monitoring Tool Using Powershell And Performance Monitoring
Sep 15, 2014We 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.

Jul 10, 2002Hello,
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

SQL Server Monitoring
Jul 8, 1999Folks!
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.
Monitoring SQL Server
Nov 7, 2005I 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.

Monitoring Server Up Time
Dec 3, 1999My manager has asked me to find a way to monitor the 'up' time of SQL Server. If possible, he would like to be able to do this automatically. Is there a way to monitor when SQL Server is started and when it is stopped? I know that I could look in the error logs, but I would like to do this automatically.
Thanks in advance.
Server Monitoring Tools
Jun 14, 2000I want to know if there are any tools that will allow
a DBA to monitor changes that occur on SQL databases
(deletion, addittion or modifications) on any objects,
and Sql security.
I have looked at Profiler in SQL and it is very limited
and plus it is huge memory hog and causes degradation on
your servers.

SQL 2012 :: Server Monitoring AlwaysOn / Mirroring Via Zabbix
Feb 4, 2015We currently use Zabbix to monitor our SQL Servers, generally we use Perf_Counters to gather performance information (CPU Usage, Memory, Blocked process etc.), Zabbix also lets us monitor services as to whether they are up or down. I have searched google looking for any information regarding the monitoring of AlwaysOn/Mirroring within Zabbix and to date ave found nothing. What I am looking to alert on is an indication that Mirroring has stopped/ been interrupted with say something like "Not Synchronized"...

View 9 Replies View RelatedLog Shipping: How To Failback After A Failover Log Shipping?
Jun 8, 2006Hi,
I 'm sure I am missing something obvious, hopefully someone could point it out. After a failover log shipping, I want to fail back to my inital Primary server database; however, my database is marked as loading. How can I mark it as normal?
I did the failover as follow:
I did a failover log shipping from the 2 server Sv1 (Primary) and Sv2 (Secondary) by doing the following
1) Stop the primary database by using sp_change_primary_role (Sv1)
2) Change the 2nd server to primary server by running sp_change_secondary_role (Sv2)
3) Change the monitor role by running sp-change_monitor_role (Sv2)
4) Resolve the log ins - (Sv2)
5) Now I want to fail back - I copy the TRN files to Sv1 - use SQL Ent to restore the database at point in time. The task is done; however, the database is still mark as loading. I could not use sp_dboption.
I appreciate any suggestion.
Thanks in advance
Desperate! - Need Simple MSSQL Server Monitoring Scripts, Ideas, Etc That Can Be Performed By Operator Types (non-programmers)
Jul 20, 2005Does anyone have any basic, simple scripts of sp's that I can give mycomputer operators to use to monitor for serious conditions on our sqlservers? We are new in the ms-sql arena, a small shop and we cantreally purchase any tools to monitor these servers, but we need somebasic checks that we can use to make sure a server is performing in areasonable fashion, no blocks, cpu<xx%, memory not pegged, IO working,etc...and we need to be able to do this without bugging ourprogrammers every time we are wondering why things are slowwnig down.We are a split shop between as400s and sql servers, and our operationsstaff has no problem performing this type of duty on the 400s. I thinksince the sql servers are so easy to deploy into production, the ideaof how to monitor these things health got lost in the shuffle andallowing the programmers to do it just serves to destabilize ourenvironment.Please help! Our shop has turned to chaos since we went live withMSSQL centric applications and everytime one programmer "resolves anissue" some other programmers application starts to act up.

Oct 28, 2004I have 2 SQL Servers. One of them is a production server and the other I want to have as a backup to the production server.
It is my understanding that Log Shipping requires the use of MSSQL Server Enterprise. Does the Enterprise version of SQL Server have to be on both servers? Or can it be just one one server?
If only one server, does it have to be on the subscriber or publisher?
This question is for concern towards proper licensing.

Log Shipping And Secondary Server
May 29, 2008hi all,
For data ware house project, the reporting team needs to know the delta changes to the master database.
one way we were thinking was to use log shipping and run reports / ETL off the secondary server. But the team needs to know which records got changed and i was thinking of adding timestamp columns to the necessary tables (only on the secondary database schema) and that way we can track the changes.
But from my research, it seems like secondary database needs to have similar schema as promary database.
Is log shipping, can my secondary db have a bit different schema? if so how to do it?
If not, how to accomplish the above secanrio, with out adding new columns (if possible) in the master database and with low over head.
thanks

Secondary Server In Log Shipping
Oct 2, 2006Hi,
We have SQL Server 2005 configured with mirroring to protect from physical errors. We also have a need for an (out of sync is ok) reporting server and we'd like to reduce our downtime in the event of a logical error.
The primary database is already being backed up (full and t-logs) to a shared network drive.
Can I implement the second half of log shipping (i.e. the stuff you do to the secondary) so that I don't have to change the current backup schedules on the primary server?
Specifically in the list of sp's below, can I start halfway down at sp_add_log_shipping_secondary_primary (Transact-SQL) ?? Without having to run the primary sp's?
sp_add_log_shipping_primary_database (Transact-SQL)
sp_add_jobschedule (Transact-SQL)
sp_add_log_shipping_alert_job (Transact-SQL)
sp_add_log_shipping_secondary_primary (Transact-SQL)
sp_add_log_shipping_secondary_database (Transact-SQL)
sp_add_log_shipping_primary_secondary (Transact-SQL)
Or do I have to ditch my current backup maintenance plans on the primary and start again?
Thanks

Log Shipping - Adding A New Server To Plan
Oct 13, 2003I have had log shipping set up for a month at a remote site. Created another server to failover to here locally that utilizes 512K line. Microsoft has a tab on the maint plan to add another server to the log shipping plan. Shut down all log shipping, moved full backup back here locally and created new database. Used tab to add new server to log shipping server and setup plan using this database. When log shipping starts up for this new server it fails. Error shows it is looking for the first log file that was sent over a month ago. Am I correct in assuming that the only way you can really add another log server is to do it at the same time? If so it's kind of stupid to have the tab to add the server. My log files are pushed over every 5 minutes, and I remove them after 1 week.
View 3 Replies View RelatedLog Shipping Conflicting For Setting DR Server
Dec 12, 2007Hi all,
I need some advice on this scenario.
I have to set a Disaster Recovery (DR) server from my production Server( Most probably, i will be using Database Mirroring for my DR Server). Right now, the production is log shipped to another server for reporting every 15 minutes.
So, for setting up Database Mirroring onto my DR Server, i can take Full Backup from production without damaging log Shipping.
But, for setting up Database Mirroring, we need to restore most recent Transaction log backup with norecovery ( Correct me if i am wrong).
But, I cannot take log back because the prodcution database is log shipped for Reporting needs. If taken, log chain breaks.
Can anyone please suggest some work around for setting up the DR Server with minimal downtime.
Thanks for all your help.
Best Place To Deploy Log Shipping Monitor Server
Aug 19, 2003I have 4 sql 2000 servers. One is a the primary, one is a local stand-by, one a remote standby and one is a training server. WHen configuring which server should monitor log shipping I was torn between the local standby and the training. The training server which only has a few users if ever, might be used for some DTS tasks in the future for some B to B stuff. Based upon this I am leaning on the local standby to monitor. Anyone have an experience or input?
Thanks!
(No I can't buy any more servers)
