SQL Software for: Realtime SQL
Server monitoring, server
performance tuning, query tuning, hardware analysis, DBA
performance dashboard, performance history, query history,
replication monitoring, database
monitoring, SQL code analysis, SOX compliance, security monitoring, and
tools designed
to:
scan, alert, and investigate, SQL
server failures.
DIAB
offers a fresh new look at SQL Server management with new ideas and an
innovative approach toward database monitoring. We took a different
path, with
four main goals: steer clear of web based products, email was not to be
the
primary source of notifications, be able to monitor all your servers
while
doing other task, and build DIAB from the ground up focusing on the
needs of
the DBA. What we came up with was a scanner approach with a very small
desktop
footprint that sits in a corner of your desktop always on, always
monitoring.
With the push of a button from the scanner bar an arsenal of tools are
at your
command enabling you to quickly diagnose the source of a problem.
DIAB
is real-time SQL server monitoring software. It alerts you when there
is a problem and does many of the routine tasks that the typical DBA
does not want to deal with daily. DIAB quickly get to the root
of most SQL server problems
and
shows you how to correct the issue before the end user is aware of
it. DIAB
combines stunning 3D effects with key server performance counters to
enable Database Managers to easily resolve problems.
6.8 Just Released

DIAB
6.8 has just been released, and with
it comes many new
features.
We looked at the request from our users and
responded. What's new, we just added a new set of baseline/benchmark
tools that place an equal load on each server and measurs the critical
times used to complete the actions. This information can be reviewed to
compare your servers against benchmark scores from other servers, and
from outside of you business as this ships with already computed scores
from our lab and other supporting businesses.
DIAB
does all this
Monitor:
all your servers from a single machine.
SQL server hardware
monitoring: See real-time animated
results of resources being consumed, including CPU,
disk
usage, memory
utilization, sql server resources, and network activity.
SQL
Query Monitoring: View the queries impacting your server
in real-time or historically.
Benchmark / Basline Tools:
Use these tools to track you server performance historically, againts
other servers, and even against other businesses as we have already
computed base scores from other businesses called the DIAB Score.
Record blocking:
Informs
you when sql server record blocking
is occurring and pinpoints the user and host ID. You can even view the
query.
Trend Analysis:
View historical data from your servers like drive growth or cpu
utilization.
SQL Health Check: The
doctor is in. Run a complete check of your SQL server and generate a
report identifying problems that impact performance, integrity, and
security.
Query Hogs:
Quickly
identifies queries impacting resources. It even sorts
them top to bottom, with the worst
offenders on top. It also list from who, when, and what machine the
query originated.
MyQuery: Query
editor allows you to create your own queries and add them to
the MyQuery menu.
Query Analysis Tools:
Scan
SQL code, procedures and scripts for SOX compliance, table scans, index
scans, and best coding
practices.
Vmware: Access
vmware specific performance counters view how your server is performing
in a VM environment.
Security:
Monitor SQL security, and alerts if permissions have been granted or
modified. Generate reports for SOX or internal audit.DIAB elevates your
level of security to meet SOX and PCI guidelines.
Trace: Instantly
start a trace on a spid, user, or application just by
right-clicking on
a user within the main grid and
selecting "trace", so you can quickly identify where a
process may be failing.
Kill problem
processes: End a query impacting resources
instantly from the main grid of all processes.
Backup checking:
backups are automatically checked and reports when database backups are
missing.
Drive space:
Alerts
you when a drive is about to fill up, and displays the space
on all
your drives by size and percentage.
Database space:
Alerts you when database file groups are about to fill up.
SQL process monitoring:
View real-time animated SQL processing in 2D or 3D
graphically.
OLAP cube processing:
Resolve data warehouse problems by monitoring your OLAP cube
processing.
Failed job alerts:
Looks for failed
jobs in
the schedules, and displays them on one screen for prioritizing, and
maintains a history of the failures and their correction
history.
Replication:
Check replication and receive alerts when publisher
and subscribers are not communicating.
Performance tools:
An
assortment of features for improving server performance that you can
use
to optimize your indexes, queries, and do disk load balancing.
Help:
Instant help via pdf files and tool tips for most
features.
Search: Scan an
entire server or just a database for all references to a word check
most common object types.
Email:
Receive alerts to keep you informed 24 hours a day of server failures.
3D
Forms: Spectacular 3D effects show your sever performance
in a whole new dimension. Especially when comparing key
performance
counters. Example you can determine which drives are underperforming by
comparing disk queue length to transactions per second.
Top
10
Scorecard: View a summary of different items, in
different categories
that are impacting your server the most all from a single screen.
Setup is easy:
The setup wizard to get you up and going fast.
