SQL Server is a mission-critical component for the IT infrastructure at most companies. Hence, regular monitoring is essential in order to maintain optimal operations as well as to troubleshoot the different problems that might come up. Monitoring is the DBA’s early warning system. The basic goal of database monitoring is to alert the DBA to any abnormal conditions like sustained CPU utilization, security breaches, failed backups, or capacity problems. Successful monitoring can:
- Provide better database performance
- Improve availability
- Quickly detect problems and failures
- Predict storage requirements
However, today’s SQL Server environments can be complex and there are a number of different areas that the DBA needs to stay on top of. Join this session with industry expert and Penton’s senior contributing editor, Michael Otey, to learn about those areas. His presentation will include essential SQL Server metrics that you need to monitor performance, capacity utilization, security, backups and logs. He will also cover the importance of creating performance baselines for troubleshooting. He’ll end with covering some of the essential tools that you need to monitor the different SQL Server metrics.
