Foglight for SQL Server is a reality!
Many of you who venture into this area of the website are already familiar with Spotlight. Whether you have experience with the SQL Server flavors of the product, or other editions like those for Active Directory, DB2, Exchange, MySQL, Oracle or Sybase, Spotlight is a very successful and very compelling product for many reasons. Starting roughly a year ago, I embarked on a journey with one of Quest’s best development labs to try to extend that success to our Foglight product line via a product that is now dubbed Foglight for SQL Server. By leveraging the lessons we’ve learned from Spotlight, and after extensive conversations with customers and prospects, we’ve arrived at the dawn of a new era for Foglight, where a download and go product based on the Foglight framework is ready to change the way database diagnosis and monitoring can be achieved in an end-to-end monitoring product. With a wizard-driven installation, automated instance discovery, built-in dashboards, workflows and alarms, and dramatically simplified administration, Foglight for SQL Server is ushering in the age of the special purpose monitor. A product that is designed to focus on a specific domain, for a specific user, but that can later be expanded to encompass a wide range of domains and data. We’ll be showcasing our new technology at the PASS conference in Seattle when we GA on November 3rd, and will be posting a wealth of information to quest.com very shortly. Stay tuned!
