If you’re an overworked DBA (or a DBA that wants to be responsible for more servers and databases), an accidental DBA, or a developer wanting to get a better handle on your SQL Server and databases, SQLFrontline can help you do that.
SQLFrontline is a lightweight, low impact, nothing to install diagnostic tool for all SQL Server versions 2008+. It carries out over 300+ checks (more checks are added frequently), across the areas of security, reliability, performance, configuration and database design. Issues are organised by server and by priority (Critical, High, Medium, Info).
It compares and notifies you what was fixed between data collections. It has a built in reminder list for high priority items that haven’t been fixed over time.
It even has a demo mode, so you can try it out for free.
Here’s an excerpt from an example notification email:
