The SQL Server Monitoring Probe constantly monitors the internal performance and space allocation throughout the SQL Server database and feeds essential information based on pre-defined criteria to the Availability Manager for appropriate alert notification when required.

An extensive range of pre-defined alerts are delivered with the SQL Server Monitoring Probe and these can quickly be extended to meet the needs of specific monitoring requirements.
