New features

• SQL Monitor metrics website launched: Red Gate has brought together a range of quality metrics for you to use in SQL Monitor. The SQL Monitor Metrics website lets you:
  
  • find the metrics you’re interested in by browsing categories, or searching for keywords or authors that include Grant Fritchey and Brad McGehee.
  • discover new and useful ways to monitor your SQL Servers and broaden your monitoring range.
  • automatically install a metric in your version of SQL Monitor with a single click.
  • rate existing metrics, or share your own metrics with other SQL Monitor users.
