As a Software Developer, I’ve always been frustrated by the "monitoring tax." You either pay millions of dollars for enterprise tools, or you’re stuck with basic scripts that don't give you the full picture. I wanted a tool that combined deep SQL metrics (deadlocks, expensive queries, health checks) with Windows OS-level monitoring (CPU, IO, Memory, IIS , Storage etc) under one roof. What is SQL Planner? I’ve spent the last 5+ years building SQL Planner to bridge this gap. It’s a lightweight tool designed to handle: ✅Performance Analytics: Real-time monitoring of blockers, long-running queries, and IO latency. ✅Database Automation: Handling SQL Monitoring, backups, Auditing, DBA Handover Notes management and automated index defragmentation. ✅Windows Monitoring: Monitoring IIS, Windows Services, and OS-level resources without a massive agent footprint. ✅Reporting: 100+ deep-dive reports for audit and health checks. The Tech Stack The tool is designed for Windows environments. I focused heavily on ensuring the monitoring overhead is negligible—collecting 100+ metrics shouldn't become the performance bottleneck it’s trying to solve. Why Free? ✅I’m offering this for free to the community. I believe every developer and DBA should have access to professional-grade monitoring regardless of their company's budget. UI/UX: Is the dashboard intuitive enough for a sysadmin who isn't a SQL expert? Link: https://mssqlplanner.com
