SQL Server performance monitoring from alert to root cause

Mini DBA continuously collects the workload and resource evidence needed to diagnose slow SQL Server applications without waiting for somebody to reproduce the problem.

Performance incidents cross CPU, memory, I/O, waits, sessions and queries. The Console brings those layers together and the Engine keeps collecting when no user is signed in.

  • Monitor live and historical SQL Server performance in one browser UI.
  • Investigate blocking, waits, deadlocks, slow queries and execution plans.
  • Raise configurable alerts and preserve the evidence around an incident.
  • Use AI Assistant for page-level help or MCP for questions across the estate.

One current Mini DBA workflow

The Mini DBA Engine collects monitoring data and evaluates alerts continuously. Teams use the browser Console to investigate live and historical evidence through the current Console and Engine architecture.

Investigate in the Console

Move from estate health to the affected server, database, session, query, alert or plan while preserving the context of the incident.

Ask the AI Assistant

Optionally send relevant metrics, sessions, alerts and page detail for guided analysis of the problem in front of you.
