SQL Server Monitoring for Epic EHR Database Environments
SQL Server monitoring to help maximize Epic EHR database uptime & performance
Monitor all aspects of your Epic EHR database environment from a single dashboard
With the SQL Sentry® Performance Analysis Dashboard, you can display important database performance metrics used in determining the load and health of the SQL Server databases supporting your Epic EHR system.
The dashboard shows you both your Windows (or virtual host) metrics and the metrics related to the monitored database servers.
The dashboard is split into different sections, including the Network section, which displays the network traffic and utilization of information related to a monitored server. The CPU usage section shows the total CPU usage as well as details on context switching, user time, kernel time, and more.
Proven scalability for large-scale Epic EHR database environments
With demonstrated success monitoring 800+ SQL Server instances with one monitoring database, SQL Sentry supports the heavy workloads in large-scale Epic EHR database environments.
SQL Sentry collects performance metrics every few seconds (vs. few-minute intervals), continually monitoring your EHR databases without adding significant overhead to slow response times. With SQL Sentry, you don’t need to sacrifice monitoring for speed.
SQL Sentry monitors, diagnoses, and optimizes the entire SQL Server platform keeping your Epic EHR database running at peak performance and minimizing downtime disruptions to hospital operation and clinical care.
Root cause analysis quickly troubleshoots Epic EHR database performance
EHR database downtime and slowdowns disrupt hospital operations. SQL Sentry helps you quickly pinpoint root causes for EHR database issues very quickly so you do not waste valuable time and resources looking in the wrong places.
In addition to at-a-glance dashboard views, SQL Sentry provides blocking, deadlock, and index analysis capabilities. Real-time and historic performance data makes troubleshooting EHR database issues easier with a clear picture of what has occurred.
The Top SQL and native Plan Explorer features provide high-impact SQL query capture and analysis so you can find and fix potentially problematic queries quickly.
Automate incident response to eliminate false alerts
Advisory Conditions let you easily set up relevant, actionable alerts and automate responses based on conditions specific to your Epic EHR database environment.
This advanced alerting and response system allows you to customize how SQL Sentry will respond to any Windows, virtual machine (VM), or SQL Server database condition with logic based on performance counter thresholds, query results, and more.
For resource-constrained infrastructure teams, the ability to set up reliable alerts, triggers and automated responses specific to their needs means they can triage and manage potential problems faster
Storage forecasting removes capacity-planning guesswork
SQL Sentry Storage Forecasting applies machine learning algorithms to forecast daily usage for storage volumes across servers so your team can better manage and optimize compute resources.
The algorithms analyze workloads, fine-tune disk capacity forecasts, and provide intelligent reporting to help prevent costly and risky system downtime for hospitals.
