At the beginning of my blogging career I penned the Financial System Manager’s Toolbox Series. This series covered amongst other essential products the likes of Speed SQL IDE and LiteSpeed from Quest Software. I have to add another product to this list called Spotlight also by Quest Software. We have found this product to be brilliant. Although specifically purchased to monitor our SQL instances it also has a wonderful Windows Operating System Dashboard. If it were not for Spotlight I am sure that we would have taken many more hours to find our Dynamics AX 2009 issue.
Spotlight gives you a visual interface into your systems inner workings and you can always see what is going on. The ability to also track back in time to see what was happening at a point in time is priceless. Here is an example of the dashboard for a SQL instance.
Other products are capable of doing this type of monitoring but we have just found this one to be easy and it looks really great.
