We provide monitoring tools that alert us when there is an issue so that we can recommend fixes before the issue becomes a bigger problem. The notification runs every 4 hours and alerts us of issues that may require your attention.

Over time even on the best configured SQL Servers, things change. For instance, someone disables a transaction log backup and you end up with a huge SQL Server log file. This can lead to big performance issues, as well as possibly system outage as your disks run out of space. With our Daily Checkup product this type of issue would be detected, and we would send you details on what it would take to resolve the issue.

What you get?

Monitoring several times each day on issues as they arise on your SQL Server.

• Initial analysis with written details describing your current baseline issues.
• Weekly full email describing all recommendations.
• Daily notification on new issues with recommendations on how to resolve.
• Database Health Monitor license full license for all servers being monitored.

What is covered in the SQL Daily Checkup?

The detection and alerting of around 100 critical items in your SQL Server configuration. Over time the list of critical items will be increased with additional checks.

What is not covered?

The resolution of the issues. When a problem is detected we will let you know so that you can either resolve the issue yourself, or you can have us help on an hourly basis to resolve the issue.

Technical Requirements:  SQL Server 2005 or newer with database mail enabled.  We can help enable database mail if needed.

What is the difference between this and the Managed Services offering that is more expensive? With the managed services offering you get all of the features of the daily monitoring, but the ongoing maintenance is “all inclusive” meaning that any fixes, updates, remediation, and other ongoing server maintenance is included in the cost of the Managed Services where with the lower priced daily checkup product we do the monitoring, then you can decide how to do the remediation, updates and fixes.

Here is how it works:

1. You sign up on the Stedman Solutions website and pay either the monthly or annual fee.
2. A Stedman Solutions team member will meet with you via Webex to install the monitoring procedures and jobs on your SQL Server.
3. Monitoring runs and Stedman Solutions gets notified of issues that need attention over time.
4. A Stedman Solutions team member sends you details on the issue with recommended actions.
