The overviews in SQL Monitor show the current health of your monitored servers and are arranged into a hierarchy:

The overview pages update automatically every 30 seconds. You do not need to refresh your browser.

You can drill down through the hierarchy in two ways:

• From the Monitored servers list
• By clicking a hyperlink on the current overview page to take you to a lower level (e.g. from a host machine to a SQL Server instance or from an instance to a database)
