Custom alerts and data visualization let you quickly identify and prevent SQL server performance issues.
Before you can improve SQL server and database performance, you need to get detailed information about the current execution speed or the CPU usage of your SQL servers, for example. Our comprehensive SQL server performance monitoring tool Paessler PRTG has got you covered here.
Measure the time an SQL query needs for its entire request, including establishing the connection, executing the query, handling the SQL statement, and terminating the connection. You can also monitor and process your query's return values.
With PRTG, you can easily monitor several SQL server instances. For quick integration, PRTG comes with preconfigured sensors for all major databases, such as Microsoft SQL and Oracle SQL, or MySQL and PostgreSQL.
Collect real-time data on various database server metrics such as CPU usage, memory utilization, disk space, or query execution time. PRTG immediately notifies you about any unusual behavior or performance bottlenecks that could be the cause for database errors.
Diagnose network issues by continuously tracking your SQL servers. Show response times, query performance, runtime and and wait time, and database load in real time. Visualize monitoring data in clear graphs and dashboards to identify problems more easily. Gain the overview you need to troubleshoot deadlocks and other database issues of any kind.

A company uses a ticket system to process orders. During peak hours, several orders are arriving at the same time. PRTG immediately sees that the ticket system is overloading and informs designated team members via customizable notifications. This way, they can quickly take action before the system crashes.
Most online stores have a direct link to their warehouse management systems. As sales increase, a company’s stock decreases. If, for example, the number of goods falls below a specified threshold, PRTG automatically informs the responsible employees so they can order new goods. Even suppliers can be informed via the PRTG notification system.
How many visitors are currently on your website? How much revenue was generated in sales? How high are your current online advertising costs? PRTG helps you stay informed round the clock, for example with easy-to-understand dashboards that you can also show to your team or the management on a screen during a meeting.
PRTG comes with more than 250 native sensor types for monitoring your entire on-premises, cloud, and hybrid cloud environment out of the box. Check out some examples below!
The Microsoft SQL v2 sensor monitors a database on a Microsoft SQL server and executes a query. It can show the following:
The WMI Microsoft SQL Server 2019 sensor monitors the performance of a Microsoft SQL Server. It can show the following and more:
The Microsoft Azure SQL Database sensor monitors the metrics of an Azure SQL Database (single database or elastic pool) in a Microsoft Azure subscription. It can show the following:
The ADO SQL v2 sensor monitors a database via an ActiveX Data Objects (ADO) connection and it executes an SQL query. It can show the following:
See the PRTG Manual for a list of all available sensor types.
Real-time notifications mean faster troubleshooting so that you can act before more serious issues occur.
With PRTG, you not only monitor all important SQL server performance metrics but also keep track of other performance data and the overall status of your network and devices.
How much traffic passes through your network? When and where do spikes in bandwidth usage occur? How does your traffic change over time? PRTG tells you all this and more. As a result, you can take all the necessary precautions to ensure that your network is running at optimal capacity.
PRTG uses a variety of network protocols for monitoring your entire network, such as SNMP, WMI, SSL, HTTP, FTP, SSH, or DHCP. By keeping track of your IT infrastructure using these protocols, you ensure the smooth functioning and optimal performance of your network.
Custom alerts and data visualization let you quickly identify and prevent and prevent SQL server issues.

SQL server monitoring lets you keep a constant eye on the performance of your SQL databases. The process is continuous and automated, allowing you to immediately identify dips in performance and intervene at once.
You can monitor SQL server performance with preconfigured SQL sensors in PRTG. Such a sensor automatically sends monitoring data to a central overview in PRTG. You should also monitor your server hardware (CPU, RAM, etc.).
PRTG is an automated monitoring tool that runs on dedicated Windows Servers (or Linux operating systems using the multi-platform probe) and saves you lots of precious time. If something goes wrong in your network, PRTG notifies you at once. What’s more, you can also define your own threshold values and notification settings.
In addition to PRTG, there are other SQL server monitoring tools such as Nagios, SolarWinds, or WhatsUp Gold. Some tools monitor your entire network while others specialize in a single area such as SQL databases. The tools also differ in price and performance. The advantage of our all-in-one monitoring software PRTG: you get one central monitoring tool for your entire IT infrastructure. Find more monitoring tool comparisons here.
In PRTG, “sensors” are the basic monitoring elements. One sensor usually monitors one measured value in your network, for example the traffic of a switch port, the CPU load of a server, or the free space on a disk drive. On average, you need about 5-10 sensors per device or one sensor per switch port.
Paessler conducted trials in over 600 IT departments worldwide to tune its network monitoring software closer to the needs of sysadmins. The result of the survey: over 95% of the participants would recommend PRTG – or already have.
Paessler PRTG is used by companies of all sizes. Sysadmins love PRTG because it makes their job a whole lot easier.
