We use a combination of all the above (and some Perl modules as well) so you need to deploy whatever you will be comfortable with.This article will describe how to format SQL code using SQL Server Management Studio (SSMS) native options and how to format SQL code using a third-party SQL formatter tool.Ī well-formatted SQL code is easily readable and reviewing such code can be much easier and faster than a non-formatted SQL code. For system performance counters, you can use CLR. You can also monitor locks, databases' files size. 4- More fine grained but needs some work : Create your own procedures and code. etc The notification is better here as you can use database mail.

Also Locks, access methods, transactions. Same as above but I think it provides only SQL server wide counters (not system) but it an be helpful to spot issues with memory through important counter like PLE or Cache hit ratio. You can also create a little application to send an email once the threshold is triggered via "run this program" option. Action can be to send a console message to your client PC. 2- you can define Perfmon alerts Create perfmon alert for any counter of the counters collection (for example CPU), define a threshold, period and finally an action. I've NOT seen Scom in production but I saw MOM and Scom is the new face now. If you eventually need to get a real-time alert (email, page) if system resources are starved then I can think of the following options : 1- SCOM (not free) : This is an end-to-end monitoring suite that sets on top of SQL server and provides rich reports and easy to manage environment. Hello Lars, Since you have SS 2008 then "Performance Studio" can give a great insight inside SQL server activities. We use a combination of all the above (and some Perl modules as well) so you need to deploy whatever you will be comfortable with. Please mark as answer if you think this answers your questions For SQL server 2005, You need to have Sp2 at least HTH There is no additional tracing or data capture required. Index recommendations generated by the query optimizer (missing indexes) - Blocking - Latch contention The information captured in the reports is retrieved from SQL Server's dynamic management views. Common performance problems that the dashboard reports may help to resolve include: - CPU bottlenecks (and what queries are consuming the most CPU) - IO bottlenecks (and what queries are performing the most IO).

Microsoft has System Center Operations Manager 2007 for real-time monitoring but it is not for free SQL server monitoring I think what you are looking for is some reports that will spot the bottlenecks on your instance and then comes "SQL Server Performance Dashboard Reports" According to description of dashboard reports: The reports allow a database administrator to quickly identify whether there is a current bottleneck on their system, and if a bottleneck is present, capture additional diagnostic data that may be necessary to resolve the problem. However, SQL Nexus is not yet a real-time monitoring tool for SQL server and you still need some Knowledge to use SQLDiag and PSSDiag.
