Monitoring Capabilities

13 monitoring tabs give you complete visibility into SQL Server performance.

Server Overview Dashboard

At-a-glance view of CPU usage, memory consumption, batch requests/sec, pending I/O, page life expectancy, active sessions, and top wait stats.

Active Requests Monitor

See every running query with elapsed time, CPU time, wait types, degree of parallelism (DOP), and full SQL text — updated in real time.

Top CPU Queries

Queries grouped by query_hash showing total CPU, execution count, and runtime metrics to quickly identify resource-hungry workloads.

Wait Statistics

Top 5 cumulative wait stats with live pie chart visualization. Instantly identify blocking, I/O waits, CXPACKET, PAGEIOLATCH, and more.

Database Sizes

Top 10 databases by file size with data and log file breakdown. Monitor growth trends and identify space concerns.

Connections by Database

Connection grid showing active connections per database and login combination. Identify connection storms and pool exhaustion.

60-Second Rolling History

Time-series trend charts maintain 60 seconds of data for CPU, batch requests, and other key metrics to spot spikes and patterns.

Azure Auto-Detection

Automatically detects on-premises, Azure SQL Database, and Azure Managed Instance environments and adapts DMV queries accordingly.
