Trending FAQs: SQL Sentry Renewal
Q: How is it licensed?
A: SQL Sentry is licensed Per Instance (SQL Server service). It is not based on CPU cores, making it very cost-effective for powerful servers.
Q: Does this cover Azure SQL Managed Instance?
A: Yes, this license can be used for Azure SQL Managed Instance (MI) as well as SQL Server on VM/Physical.
Q: Can I monitor multiple instances with one license?
A: No, you need one license for each SQL Server instance you wish to monitor. You can stack multiple licenses on a single monitoring server.
Q: What is the difference between this and DPA?
A: DPA focuses on "Wait Time Analysis" for developers/DBAs. SQL Sentry provides deeper operational metrics (indexes, defrag, jobs, AlwaysOn) preferred by DBAs.
