SQL Monitoring

We all know it’s a good idea to monitor our SQL Server estate.  But, what does that really mean? What is monitoring and what are the tools available?  Peter Daniels takes us on a light dive into the world of SQL Server monitoring. We’ll look at what monitoring is, how it overlaps with other concepts like health checks, and briefly look at the stock, open-source/freeware, and commercial tools available.
