Project Description
The SqlMonitoring tool makes it possible to monitor SQL 2000, 2005, 2008 environments and send alerts to a central database (SQL 2008). A client can be used to view the alerts en perform actions on them. This tool is a good alternative if you do not have the budget or infrastructure for tools like SCOM.

New release will be available for testing this year. http://sqlmonitoring.codeplex.com/Release/ProjectReleases.aspx?ReleaseId=34811
Sql Monitoring FAQ

This tool was designed to be an open source alternative for tools like SCOM 2007 and BMC Patrol. The tool also focusses primarly on SQL Server.

The feature complete version will be released on August 30th but this version is complete for as far as the service is concerned. Most work has to be done on the client, but the basics are available.

For a quickstart download the binaries and follow the steps in the included Quick Start Guide. To run the tool you will need at least SQL Server 2008. Any version will work, although for large environments it's recommended to use the Standard or Enterprise edition.

Sql Monitoring FAQ
This page answers the most common questions.

How do I get back the default sorting on the Alerts pages?

Because the default view of the alert grid is sorted on multiple columns you cannot get the sorting back by clicking the headers. To get the default sorting back you must refresh the grid. Right click the mouse and choose Refresh in the context menu.

How can I view alerts assigned to other users than me?

At this moment you cannot do this in the application. This feature is planned for a future release. You can however perform a query against the database to review these alerts. Open a new query window in SSMS and type in: exec Client.GetAlerts '{some username}'. This will list the alerts currently assigned to that specific user.

How can I change the threshold for the alerts?

You can change these within the client. But only for current alerts. In future versions it will be possible to change the thresholds from a seperate list. If an alert is shown you can select Edit on the right of the screen. Fill in the right thresholds for your needs and click save. The values will be updated to the monitored computers every 15 minutes.
