Easily monitor and view the performance of both physical server and VMware or Hyper-V virtual server environments to get a complete view of SQL Server databases. View performance metrics and alerts for virtual machines and their related hosts including CPU, memory, disk usage, network etc. to get a complete performance picture of the SQL server environment.

Performance monitoring for physical and virtual environments
Query plan monitoring to see the causes of blocks and deadlocks
History browsing to find and troubleshoot past issues
Predictive alerting with settings to avoid false alerts
Database growth forecasting to minimize server sprawl
Web-based dashboard with at-a-glance views of top issues and alerts

Query Performance Monitoring
Identify and monitor inefficient and poor performing SQL queries, batches, statements and stored procedures causing blocks and deadlocks, such as long or most frequent queries or queries consuming unusually high CPU or I/O. Thresholds can be configured on each individual server allowing for greater flexibility, and the interface makes it very easy to see the most costly queries by looking at individual query executions or query signatures.

New Query Plan Diagnostics
Dig deep into problematic queries with new query plan diagnostic capabilities. View high level query performance information across applications, databases and users with enhanced drill down capabilities into individual queries to view detailed SQL text, execution plan XML, and graphical views of execution plans.

History Browsing
Drill down to the precise point-in-time an error occurred to view historical SQL Server and OS metrics and better understand the multiple factors which could have contributed to an error.

Capacity Planning
Understand trends and view forecasts of your SQL Server environment to better plan for future needs and get a handle on SQL Server sprawl with database growth reporting.

Mobile Access
Access SQL Diagnostic Manager from anywhere. Use any mobile device, such as iPhone, Android, Blackberry or Tablet to view real-time and historical SQL Server performance data. Plus, view or kill sessions, start/stop jobs and run queries to resolve or diagnose issues remotely while on-the-go.

New Web Dashboard
Log in from anywhere and quickly check the status of monitored server instances to identify and diagnose issues. The customizable web dashboard makes sure the information most important to you is right where you want it. View the current status of monitored instances, drill down into single instance details, view the top occurrences of performance issues, and see a rollup of all active alerts.

Predictive Alerting
Avoid false alarms with adaptive alerting functionality and set alert thresholds based on built-in historical statistical analysis of your server performance data. The system has embedded heuristic analysis of event trends and behaviors and presents a percentage of likelihood that various events could happen later in the day based on past behavior trends. This helps DBAs to be better prepared to diagnose, drill down, and resolve an issue quickly and effectively.
