SQL Live Monitor

Hi All,

I have been assigned to maintain few SQL Server that are available in our VM environment. I searched in the internet and found a free application "SQL Live Monitor". I understand that this is basically a live display of different Perfmon counters.

Being a Citrix Administrator, I dont understand the significance of all the counters from SQL perspective. Can someone tell me which of them are really important and what action/ actions needs to be taken just in case if ther is some serious change in value happens.

Env:
OS: Windows 2003 Std.
SQL: SQL 2005

I would use Idera free tool, more intuitive in my opinion.

Thanks Tony, this is exactly what I was asking for. This tool certainly is not the ultimate one but a basic indicator.

Being a system administrator I understand some part of it since they also included on my general performance checklist. Since I never worked on SQL server, I basically was trying to understand the prime counters and their significance. I googled a lot and collected lots of info. But I no where could find what are area that I need to concentrate when users complain me about slowness in SQL server.

Can you help me on that?
