Now that Database Health Beta 2 is out, whats next…

Now that Beta 2 of the Database Health Project is out, and people are using it, I am going to focus my attention on 2 areas.

1. Fixing any bugs that are reported in Beta 2 of the Database Health Project.
2. Adding new features, specifically related to offline monitoring or history data.

Currently all of the reports in the database health project report on what SQL Server can tell you right now.  What happens when somebody reports that the server was slow at 4:00pm yesterday, how can you track that down. Well, the plan if all goes well with the next beta of the Database Health Project there will be a way to configure a database on a monitoring system that will check up on your SQL server occasionally and record any problems.  This will allow you to be able to find out what query or what wait type caused the system to be slow at some point when you weren’t watching the database.

This is going to be very cool!

So far I have the core tracking and monitoring features working, now I just need to work on the reporting so that it is quick and easy to understand the data.

For now, please try out Beta 2 of the Database Health Project, it is a free download.
