My main use case for Redgate Monitor is to keep watch on the servers and to know when incidents occur and to have a proactive reaction instead of a reactionary response. A specific example of how I have used Redgate Monitor to proactively respond to incidents is when I notice that there is locking or blocking. I can log in and resolve the issue before users call. Regarding my main use case, Redgate Monitor has been the best tool that I have used to keep in touch with the servers when I am not physically watching them.

I mainly use Redgate Monitor for day-to-day activity, including tasks like backup, performance tuning, and slow-running queries, and it has been very helpful for me for various purposes such as alerts and monitoring CPU usage, memory, and disk latency. Regarding my main use case for Redgate Monitor day-to-day, alerting is crucial for me since it gives me deep query-level visibility, and I appreciate the multi-platform monitoring capabilities for SQL, Oracle, and MySQL, along with the clean documentation and easy installation process.
With SQL Server instances at multiple physical locations and in the cloud, my main use case for Redgate Monitor is to know immediately when there are performance issues or outages. Redgate Monitor allows for detailed monitoring with easily customized alerts and reporting thresholds. It is simple to set up and performs exactly as needed. With mission-critical SQL Server instances at multiple physical locations and in the cloud, I can give a quick specific example of how I use Redgate Monitor in my daily work. It is critical for us to know immediately when there are performance issues or outages. Redgate Monitor provides an intuitive dashboard that allows for detailed resource monitoring. Redgate offers an indication of your server, perhaps when it is under attack and where from. A simple extension would allow further action to be drawn from this, such as looking up the IP in an IP blacklist, which could advise you to block further access from that IP address. I also use Redgate Monitor to raise performance issues of stored procedures and resource processes. It identifies the underperforming stored procedures, and from that, I can leverage any missing index or SQL performance information caught by SQL Server. I also use Redgate Monitor for aggregating performance metrics and troubleshooting performance issues using wait statistics.
