Event Manager seamlessly integrates external event data into calendars, and gives you unprecedented visibility and control over all of the events that can impact your server performance.
SQL Sentry Event Manager supports SQL Agent jobs, Windows Tasks, and
Oracle jobs in increasingly complex cross-platform environments.
Just as SQL Agent jobs
and Oracle jobs can impact server performance, so can, for example, a Windows Task running a disk defragmentation.
DBAs need to know about those events too since they're using the same CPU, RAM, and disk resources as
the server. Using a plug-in architecture,
Event Manager connector modules allow these popular external systems including backup, defrag, anti-virus, and others to be integrated and easily managed through the
Event Manager Console. Event Manager automatically brings all of these events together and displays them on its unified calendar, so you get the whole picture... not just part of it.
The data collected can then be used to trigger the various actions carried out by
Event Manager such as sending email notifications, executing other jobs or processes, or logging events. This also allows
Event Manager to manage and automate dependencies between different event types and across multiple
servers through chaining.
