Monitoring Multiple SQL Server Instances
Teratrax Performance Monitor consists of two components: Monitoring Agent
and Performance Viewer.
-
Teratrax Monitoring Agent runs in the background and monitors
one SQL Server instance at a time. The instance can be a local instance
or a remote instance. A database is created on each instance to store
performance data for historical analysis. You can configure the server
name and connection at any time after the installation.
Teratrax Monitoring Agent
queries
the monitored instance of SQL Server every five minutes to check the
pulse of the instance and collect performance data for analysis by Performance
Viewer. Once all servers are monitored, you can register them all in
Performance Viewer and analyze their performance from a single
location.
- Teratrax Performance Viewer is the graphical user interface
where you can view and analyze performance data. Unlike Monitoring Agent,
Performance Viewer has a Server Explorer where you can register all monitored
servers and view their performance data from a single place.
Teratrax Monitoring Agent can monitor only one server at a time. To
monitor all servers in your enterprise, Teratrax recommends that you
install a copy of Teratrax Performance Monitor and configure Monitoring
Agent locally on each monitored server. You can also monitor servers
remotely, however, each server requires a separate copy of Monitoring
Agent installed on a different desktop or server computer.
