SQL Monitor 4 released

SQL Monitor monitors the health and activity of your SQL Servers, providing you with intelligent alerts and recommendations via an intuitive interface and by email. It provides Web-based monitoring so you can monitor server performance in real time on desktop machines and mobile devices. Check global, machine, cluster, server and database performance at a glance and generate reports for full historical data.

Updates in 4.0

• Top 10 Waits table helps identify what types of waits are affecting the system, how long SQL Server spent waiting and which queries were affected (Instance overview only).
• Top 10 Queries table helps identify which queries use the most resources and how long they take to execute.
• Support added for deadlock trace flag 1222, for SQL Server 2005 and later.
• Rewind time control redesigned. Buttons representing common time increments let you go back and forward in time more quickly.
• A warning icon is displayed to make it easier to see which instances have a trace enabled.
• Instance overview shows five databases and collapses the others in an expandable list, so it is easier to see the performance data and diagnostics.
