What is a SQL Server Monitoring Tool

SQL Server® monitoring tool describes software that allows Database Administrators (DBAs) to monitor SQL databases and the network applications that access data from them. A SQL Server monitoring tool speeds recovery following database failure, providing metrics data, such as CPU activity, needed to keep databases up and running. A SQL Server monitoring tool can eradicate downtime by alerting DBAs when databases are on the verge of failing or when server system performance falls below acceptable levels.
