SQL Server Database Monitoring Elements Periodic Table
Monitoring SQL databases is essential to diagnose and troubleshoot SQL Server performance issues, which ultimately lead to optimal performance. The monitoring has to be a continuous process because of the constant changes that happens in a typical SQL Server database’s data, tables and so on every day.
What to monitor, is always a question of business requirements and performance goals. In the attached infographic, you can find a list of important and critical metrics that needs to be monitored. These metrics are grouped from basic elements such as discovery and health checks to much more complex elements such as diagnostics and compliance. There are many tools and techniques that can be used to monitor SQL Server databases. Check out the wide range of tools available at IDERA site to help you monitor your SQL Server database.
