View and manage your database environment events in a single calendar

View and manage your database environment events in a single calendar

Event Calendar is a centralized event log management capability designed to visually display events across monitored SQL Server instances and help you automate workflows to proactively improve performance.

Event Calendar shows Windows and SQL Server events in a familiar, Outlook-style calendar, where you can do the following:

  • View historical and future event data
  • Drag and drop future events to reschedule them
  • View event failures and potential conflicts capable of leading to resource contention on the server
  • Drill down on specific tasks and events and view their history in the SQL Sentry Performance Analysis Dashboard

Filter events

Filter events

Event Calendar offers powerful filtering capabilities. You can filter calendar events to see, for example, only events associated with SQL Server deadlocks. You can also set which event sources and types appear on the calendar.

Track job runtime

Track job runtime

With Event Calendar, you can track the runtime for monitored SQL Server agent jobs. You can compare runtimes for different server instances—for example, when a job will run after a cluster failover. You can also set up Event Chains, which consist of the series of SQL Server Agent jobs or Windows-scheduled tasks running on the same server or different servers. With Event Chains, you can automate a series of events needing to follow a specific sequence.

Set proactive notifications

Set proactive notifications

You can use Advisory Conditions with the Event Calendar to set automated notifications for your monitored tasks and jobs so you know when database server runtime thresholds have been met or failures occur.
