Connecting to an Instance of SQL Server®

This article will assist in connecting to an instance of SQL Server to start monitoring the SQL Agent in that instance quickly. There are multiple ways to connect to a SQL Server instance with SQL Agent Insight, including:

  • Clicking on the New Insight button in the toolbar,
  • Selecting New Insight… from the File menu,
  • Double-clicking a server name from the list of Available SQL Servers, post enumeration,
  • Double-clicking a server name from the list of Previously Connected Servers, or,
  • Pressing the key sequence, CTRL+N

Depending on the action taken above, the server as it appears in the Connect to SQL Server dialog can be automatically populated.
