Introduction

Microsoft’s SQL server has emerged as the database engine of choice for most applications hosted on the Microsoft Windows platform. Services in various domains - healthcare, manufacturing, banking, etc. - rely on the backend database servers for data storage and access. Any performance degradation or unavailability of the database servers can severely impact the performance of the entire service, often causing customer dissatisfaction and lost business revenue. Continuous monitoring of the MS SQL servers are hence imperative. This where the eG Enterprise helps database administrators!
