Dear SMT users,

After about two months we have another update for Server Monitoring Tool available for you. The version is now 00.5.70 and the updates are ongoing. Some of our clients have already been informed in a bit more detail about the changes by one of my colleagues on a regular meeting, the rest will get the introduction on the upcoming session.  

Here is a brief summary of all the changes included.

  • The way how we collect data about the query performance statistics related statements and query plans has been changed.
  • A set of new reports to help performance tuning has been added;
    • Query search - based on the part of the code you can search and view collected performance statistics.
    • Performance compare – report to compare query statistics in two different intervals.
    • New report to better analyse the BLOCK chains and reveal HEADBLOCKER.
  • We are now collecting and reporting performance statistics related to triggers.
  • New report to track Configuration History.
  • New report to analyse Volatile Jobs.
  • We changed a bit the menu structure to group related reports and make it more intuitive.
  • Already existing alert for tempdb size was extended with a new check.
  • The storage reports is now able to show data from DWH.
  • Miscellaneous minor bugfixes, enhancements and adjustments.

For the new reports we tried to add enough information to make it easier for you to use those.

Please contact us in case you have any questions or suggestions, we would be happy to discuss them.

We will start scoping a new release soon. I am sure that a another set of helpful stuff and enhancements will be delivered for you to us in SMT.

Kind Regards,

Jiri Dolezalek

by Michal Tinthofer on 10/01/2012

Sometimes is nice to have a tool/report which could allow you to see how much your backup storage is degraded over time. Especially by fragmentation and auto growth/shrink operations.
