    Learn more about SQL Monitor's new features: tagging and the Current Activity page

    Tagging

    Everyone around you benefits if you’ve recorded basic things like what the server does and who is responsible for it, and we think that a great place to do this is in SQL Monitor.

    Our new tagging feature allows you to add useful labels on your SQL Server instances, Azure SQL Databases, Azure Managed Instances and AWS RDS instances. By introducing this into SQL Monitor, you have all the context you need when you come to investigate issues on the server.

    Read the blog

    Current Activity page

    This new tab shows you what is happening right now on your server. Quickly see blocked queries, slow queries that are still running, and more then act on them immediately to avoid them becoming bigger problems.
