Data, and database growth, is exponential. With this added growth comes added complexity, making it difficult to find resolutions when problems arise. And if this wasn't difficult enough, the hybrid world in which we live makes performance monitoring and tuning harder than ever.
It's hard to find a single solution that fits all your database needs—from cross-platform support, deep-dive diagnostics, root-cause analysis, and cloud-native focus. In this re-recording of SolarWinds Lab™️, Head Geeks™️ Kevin Kline and Thomas LaRock will first show you the basics of database monitoring using free features within Microsoft SQL Server like Extended Events and SQL Agent Monitoring.
Learn how to extend and amplify your database performance monitoring effectiveness with SolarWinds products Database Performance Monitor, Database Performance Analyzer, and SQL Sentry. Following the re-recording, Kevin and Thomas will host a live Q&A.
