Why another database monitoring tool?

There are a lot of database tools out there. And most of them are very good. Most of them are packed with features and can do just about anything you might want to do. They are complicated. And they are expensive.

Sometimes what we want as developers is a simple tool that does one thing very well and it does it for a low price. And that’s what SQLHealth is. It monitors the availability and performance of databases and their SQL queries and helps you understand if everything is working correctly.

For example, if you are a developer, you can monitor a testing database. You can watch in real-time how the performance of your application or service. You can quickly identify which queries are taking the most time, which ones are executed most often, and if there is problematic locking behaviour. Because SQLHealth is inexpensive, it is cost effective to monitor development databases, allowing you to understand your services behaviour before you migrate it to production.

If you are supporting person or manager of infrastructure, you can use SQLHealth to keep a watchful eye on all your databases - knowing that you will be alerted if availability or performance thresholds are breached.

A simple tool that does one thing very well - cost effectively.
