SQL diagnostic manager v5.0 is a performance tuning, monitoring and management tool that, from a central console and in real-time, alerts SQL Server administrators of health, performance, and availability issues across all their SQL servers.
Idera's SQL diagnostic manager v5.0 is a powerful performance monitoring and diagnostics tool that proactively alerts administrators to health, performance or availability problems within their SQL Server environment, all from a central console. It minimizes costly server downtime by providing agent-less, real-time monitoring and customizable alerts for fast diagnosis and remediation of SQL Server performance and availability problems. It also pinpoints common performance issues, such as worst-performing code, and has extensive historical metrics for in-depth trend analysis.
SQL diagnostic manager version 5.0 is a complete redesign and rearchitecture of the SQL diagnostic manager interface, originally released in 2004, and allows excellent visibility of SQL Server metrics from across all SQL servers.
The architecture of SQL diagnostic manager v5.0 was designed for enhanced performance, scalability and flexibility with the following features:
- Allows for monitoring of the same SQL Servers from multiple consoles so that many database administrators or other administrators can keep track of SQL Server performance and track bottlenecks.
- Allows central data collection and management for checking performance across a SQL Server environment or multiple SQL Servers from a central point of control.
- Allows quick analysis of multi-server performance data and makes it easy to export performance data to Reporting Services for customized reports.
