SQL Agent Insights:Documentation

From SQL Agent Insights Wiki

SQL Agent Insight is a monitoring and alerting utility for Microsoft’s SQL Server® Agent service.

With over 60 unique metrics, your team will be notified of any changes to your SQL Server® Agent infrastructure either visually and/or via email.

Here you will find documentation pages to aid in the use of SQL Agent Insight. For anything not yet documented, please reach out to me via the Contact page for any assistance required.

This wiki and subsequent pages are a work-in-progress. Thank you.
