Monitor Your
SQL Servers
Like a Pro
A free, self-hosted MSSQL monitoring dashboard built by the DBAs at Anchored Tech Solutions. Runs on your machine. No cloud, no subscription, no data leaving your network.
Everything Your SQL
Environment Needs
Built by DBAs for DBAs. Covers all the critical monitoring points for production SQL Server environments.
Server Health
Real-time CPU usage, buffer pool memory, SQL Server edition & version, service uptime, and database list with states.
Blocked Sessions
Instantly see blocked sessions with the full blocking chain — who is waiting, on what, for how long, and the exact SQL being executed.
Wait Stats
Top 10 wait types filtered for noise. Identify bottlenecks in CPU, I/O, locks, network, and memory at a glance.
Availability Groups
AG replica roles, synchronization state, redo queue size (KB), send rate, lag in seconds, and failover mode — per database.
FCI Clusters
Current active node, all cluster nodes and status, shared disk group health, and cluster quorum properties.
Log Shipping
Primary, secondary, and monitor role tracking. Last backup/copy/restore times with automatic threshold violation detection.
Alert Rules
Define your own thresholds — CPU %, blocked sessions, lag minutes, etc. Alerts stored locally with acknowledge workflow.
All 3 Auth Types
SQL Server Auth, Windows/Integrated Auth, and TLS/Certificate Auth for encrypted servers — including AWS RDS with custom CA certs.
Metric History
7-day rolling metric snapshots stored in local SQLite. View CPU & memory trends over time for any registered server.
