VIEW EXPERT ADVICE

Solve everyday problems fast and improve database performance with expert recommendations. Apply fixes enterprise-wide with a unified, intuitive interface—from configuration to query construction, security to memory use.

VIEW TOP ISSUES AND ALERTS

Save time by giving administrators a single-pane-of-glass interface for monitoring and alerts. Your databases are all in sight, and all in one place, for fast action when something goes wrong.

Monitor tempdb

Identify and resolve tempdb contention and performance problems, and check and display the space and performance information of your tempdb instances.

Monitor and analyze continuously

Know at a glance the real-time availability, health, and performance of your SQL Server instances. Spot issues fast with metrics analysis across hundreds of instances.

Deploy for physical, virtual, and cloud environments

Ensure continuity by monitoring the performance of physical servers, virtual servers, and cloud servers to get a complete, continuous view of your SQL Server environment.

Manage availability groups

Efficiently manage the topology of high-availability groups. Even during failover, get monitoring and alerting on your clusters, mirrors, and replication.

Customize counters

Tailor your systems’ monitoring and reporting with custom counters. Get application-specific monitoring with Windows Performance Monitor counters and SQL queries.

Manage jobs

Monitor and alert on your jobs—success, failure, cancellation, or retry. View all jobs and their last known status, and the complete history of jobs. Also, conveniently start and stop jobs from the same interface.

Monitor operating systems

Collect performance metrics for all your systems at the operating system level using Windows Management Instrumentation, and Object Linking & Embedding.

Alert based on best practices

Get alerts customized for your industry and your enterprise: Choose from over 100 predefined alert settings based on industry best practices. Modify your configuration settings for greater flexibility.

Alert to different audiences

Get the message out to the right people. Advanced notifications let you send alerts to different groups of people based on metrics, time-of-day, instance, and more.

Set up maintenance mode

Avoid false positives by selectively disabling SQL Diagnostic Manager monitoring and alerting during maintenance periods for on-demand, one-time, and weekly scheduled maintenance periods.

Smooth and snooze alerts

Help admins work without distraction. SQL Diagnostic Manager can smooth problematic metrics that occasionally spike, to delay the first alert and save you stress. Snoozing alerts prevents intrusive, recurring alerts while addressing problems.

Quickly deploy alerts across instances

Easily put your custom alerts in place across your infrastructure. Add and modify metrics to alerts for multiple servers with the default alert configuration and the copy-to operation.

Alert from baselines

Know your business reality: Capture baselines of past performance to configure baseline alerts that automatically calibrate to changes within your system to avoid excessive noise and false positives.

Automate alert response actions

Give your admins more ways to respond, with customized, automated alert-response actions for system notifications, email, SQL scripts, PowerShell scripts, and more.

View recommendations for alert thresholds

Avoid alert fatigue. For metrics that always alert, view flags that indicate needed changes—with suggestions for new limits..

View locks, blocks, and deadlocks

For easy problem identification and resolution, view the complete blocking chain by identifying real-time and historical session locks, blocks, and deadlocks.

View activity timelines

Understand events faster and more intuitively by viewing color-coded performance events on your server on a timeline calendar instead of only as a list of events. Use a sliding scale to zoom in to specific times.

View fragmentation

Quickly remedy one of the most common causes of performance degradation: View statistics on fragmentation to identify indexes that may need defragmentation.

Run PowerShell scripts

Get even more control over SQL Diagnostic Manager by deploying Microsoft PowerShell, and automatically respond to alerts with PowerShell scripts.
