The OBM Management Pack for Microsoft SQL Server helps administrators efficiently monitor distributed enterprise-wide Microsoft SQL Server environments from a central, best-in-class console.
It is a very easy answer. For sure OpsMgr(SCOM). The simple reason is, Microsoft developed OpsMgr(SCOM) to monitor Microsoft products and the best to do this. NO other monitoring toolset can do it as good as OpsMgr(SCOM). OpsMgr(SCOM) can do 3rd party monitoring as well.
We have used Microsoft system center operations manager and it integrates well with SQL. We are starting to use open source tools and sending the metrics to Wavefront. This provides more real time monitoring but extensive development. The main issue we have in our environment with SCOM is real time ability.

I personally believe in SCOM (Operations Manager) since it contains all the required tools to monitor and manage SQL operationally. Majority of enterprises already have the Microsoft EA in place so the System Center licensing is already available along with SQL.
Hello Peers,
I am looking for the best network monitoring software.

Thank you for your help.

Hi, Please share your complete monitoring requirement along with No. of devices for monitoring with their type (Unix/Linux Server, Web Server, Routers, etc.).
Hi community,
I work as the Regional Manager at a Tech Services company.
Currently, I'm exploring open-source Network Analyzer and Network Configuration managers.
Which one would you recommend and why?
Hello,
For Network Analyzer, you can use Elastiflow. It's pretty complete even though its development has stopped lately (we have recently deployed it in production for a customer). It is still just as good as it was a few years ago.
For Network Configuration Management, it really depends on the sets of features you're looking for. But, you can use the Ansible & Gitlab combo. We've written a full tutorial for it on our website: https://www.zen-networks.io/ne...
Good luck!

Modern-day servers are robust enough to accommodate as many applications and processes as possible. Still, there is a limit to how much load a server can handle.
If your business does not heed the server constraints in time, you are bound to suffer from operational loss due to server downtimes. To closely monitor your server health, you must track specific metrics regularly.
Here are some s...
Collecting as many metrics, statuses, and logs about the servers is indeed the first step, you never know what data you will need to solve a particular problem. The second step is to process and correctly pinpoint where the network performance/behavior differs from the expected range/baseline.
Can your network monitoring software automate the obvious (execute remote corrective actions in response to alerts) and notify the IT person about only critical situations where the human needs to make a decision about the resolution options? We expect the network monitoring software today to do just that.
I would say NetCrunch can do it, but do you have any experience with other monitoring products that provide a similar type of monitoring experience for IT teams?

It is depending on what you need to monitor. Do you need to monitor transactions, or code or the SQL software and parameter values?
If it is for transactions, you have many tools. The best ones are Instana, Dynatrace. Both are easy to install and more importantly easy to configure.
My favorite is Instana with Turbonomic.
For application code, you can use Datadog or SolarWinds.
For software, APM and all the above things you can use rufusai - a total solution for enterprises.
Micro Focus Operations Bridge Manager plus.

I highly recommend 2 products from the SolarWinds ITOM Suite;
1 Server Application Monitor Check link: https://www.solarwinds.com/server-application-monitor
1 Database Performance Analyzer for SQLServer https://www.solarwinds.com/database-performance-analyzer-sql-server
Both products are integrated
I use the Paessler (PRTG) for long time, and highly recommend one: https://www.paessler.com/database-monitoring

.. in summary
I am 100% biased as I work for Panopta, but I wouldn't work here if I didn't think our monitoring tools weren't outstanding.
