Custom metrics

If you want Redgate Monitor to collect extra performance data that's particularly important for your servers, you can now add T-SQL scripts to do it.

You can analyze this data and receive alerts about it just like any other data that Redgate Monitor collects.

On our dedicated custom metrics site, SQLMonitorMetrics.com, you can find and review T-SQL scripts and import them directly into your copy of Redgate Monitor.

MVPs, the Redgate Monitor team, MVPs, and the SQL Server community have added scripts to the site. You can access it straight from Redgate Monitor.

If you run applications that store data in SQL Server, you can use custom metrics to monitor and alert on the data they collect, so you can now use Redgate Monitor to track business activity, too.
