What People Are Saying About Database Health Monitor
- “I installed Database Health Monitor on many of my client’s SQL servers and believe it’s the best tool out there for SQL monitoring.” – Charles Ray – March 2022
- This is a great application for SQL Server DBAing. We have a web based product but this one is so comprehensive, both high level and detailed. So much is available right at the click of a button, it is amazing! I am so grateful for the application, for the effort to build it, and the decision to share it. I know it has made me a better DBA, my organization has benefited from it, and I deeply appreciate all of that! Thank you! – Jesse – October 2021
- Thank you a lot for this excellent application. I loved the “missing indexes” and “Statistics” section, it helps me to save time and effort for the weekly maintenance.
Best Regards November 2019 - Database Health is the first tool that I pull up when someone calls and complains about slow performance in their applications, that be Dynamics NAV, Dynamics AX or even the webpages running slow. It saves me a lot of time finding the queries, missing indexes or what be it, causing the problem. This is by far the easiest and most effective tool to use, when searching for problems that need instant resolution. Thanx a million for your contribution to the SQL world. September 2019.
- This is an awesome tool to find issues and fix them or improve performance in areas that I didn’t even know we can.
- I would like to thank you for sharing this product with us free. I have installed and using health monitor on my production DB. very very nice…. Thank you so very much. I hope you will keep adding more features in this product. Well done (Rohit)
- Outstanding app. Already referred it to several friends in the field. Well I do have to say the changes you have made (regarding version 2.5), seems to have made everything in the interface much snappier. Your work here is quite impressive. (Frank from Texas)
- Outstanding! Besides enjoying the layout of your app, one thing I really like about the Quick Scan Report is each entry has a corresponding link that discusses the finding so I can go back and review recommendations, cautions, etc. (Michael)
September 2026 Release – Version 4.1501 Release
Database Health Monitor 4 is now available, representing a major overhaul rather than a visual refresh. Nearly every existing report has been rebuilt with improved queries, charts, verdicts, and drilldowns, while dozens of entirely new reports answer questions the previous version could not. To celebrate the release, all new users—and anyone whose previous trial expired—can use Version 4 free through October 31, 2026.
The redesigned interface includes full dark-mode support, more meaningful charts, plain-English findings, severity indicators, and one-click chart copying for tickets and emails. Performance has also improved through expanded background processing, with Schema Search now approximately three-and-a-half times faster. Registered servers can be imported and exported, making it easier to move Database Health Monitor to a new computer.
New reports include Blocking Tree, Recovery Exposure, Migration Planner, Security Posture, Optimized Locking, TempDB Metadata Contention, and Table Space Breakdown. Availability Groups, replication, log shipping, and linked-server reports have also been rebuilt to clearly show whether data is still moving and where problems exist. Version 4 is automatically tested across every supported release from SQL Server 2008 through SQL Server 2025.
The release also includes Azure SQL Health Monitor, a separate 63-report product designed specifically for Azure SQL Database. It analyzes Query Store, resource limits, throttling, plan regressions, memory grants, TempDB spills, read amplification, and cardinality-estimation accuracy without installing anything or creating Azure resources. One license covers both products, and existing Version 3 users can upgrade while retaining their registered servers, settings, and DBHealthHistory data.
See the Release Notes page for details on updates in older versions.
