SQL Diagnostic Manager

Physical and Virtual Performance Monitoring

Easily monitor and view the performance of both physical server and VMware or Hyper-V virtual server environments to get a complete view of SQL Server databases. View performance metrics and alerts for virtual machines and their related hosts including CPU, memory, disk usage, network etc. to get a complete performance picture of the SQL server environment.

Query Performance Monitoring

Identify and monitor inefficient and poor performing SQL queries, batches, statements and stored procedures causing blocks and deadlocks, such as long or most frequent queries or queries consuming unusually high CPU or I/O. Thresholds can be configured on each individual server allowing for greater flexibility, and the interface makes it very easy to see the most costly queries by looking at individual query executions or query signatures.

*NEW* Transactional SQL Server Application Monitoring with SQL Workload Analysis

Now available in the Pro version of SQL Diagnostic Manager

SQL Workload Analysis focuses on wait state and application transaction monitoring and analysis by continuously sampling queries and plans. It significantly upgrades the wait state analysis capabilities.

Combine the operational monitoring from SQL Diagnostic Manager and transactional monitoring with SQL Workload Analysis to view instance properties and alerts, receive prescriptive recommendations for operational diagnosis, analyze workloads for transactional diagnosis, and arrive at a comprehensive root cause analysis.

Integrated SQL Doctor Expert Recommendations

Expert recommendations from IDERA SQL Doctor are now integrated into SQL Diagnostic Manager. Enhance performance and speed up problem resolutions with built-in tuning advice and best practices developed by SQL Server MVPs. These updated recommendations are integrated into analysis workflows and provide specific guidance to address problem issues including automatic corrective scripts and links to related online content to supercharge your SQL Server performance.

Predictive Alerting

Avoid false alarms with adaptive alerting functionality and set alert thresholds based on built-in historical statistical analysis of your server performance data.

The system has embedded heuristic analysis of event trends and behaviors and presents a percentage of likelihood that various events could happen later in the day based on past behavior trends. This helps DBAs to be better prepared to diagnose, drill down, and resolve an issue quickly and effectively.

Mobile Access

Access SQL Diagnostic Manager from anywhere. Use any mobile device, such as iPhone, Android, Blackberry or Tablet to view real-time and historical SQL Server performance data. Plus, view or kill sessions, start/stop jobs and run queries to resolve or diagnose issues remotely while on-the-go.

View a demo of SQL Diagnostic Manager mobile.

Web Dashboard

Log in from anywhere and quickly check the status of monitored server instances to identify and diagnose issues. View the current status of monitored instances, drill down into single instance details, view the top occurrences of performance issues, and see a rollup of all active alerts. Customize your display with eighteen new widgets, enhanced heat map view, and query wait state visualizations. Create any number of individually configured dashboards to address the needs of the entire organization.

Integration with SCOM

The SQL Diagnostic Manager Management Pack provides easy integration with Microsoft’s System Center Operations Manager (SCOM). The Management Pack propagates the current status, health and events of all monitored instances up to Operations Manager, allowing the DBA and IT Operations staff to share data at a higher level across their enterprise. The management pack is easy to install and does not incur any additional monitoring overhead. Read the FAQ and watch a quick 5 minute video to learn more.

Salesforce CRM U.S

Salesforce CRM

Salesforce began in 1999 with a vision of reinventing Customer Relationship Management (CRM). Since then our pioneering use of cloud computing has revolutionised the way enterprise software is delivered and used, changing the industry forever.

Ever since we launched our first CRM solution, Salesforce products have run entirely in the cloud. That means it’s all online – no software, no hardware. There are no expensive setup costs, no maintenance, your employees can work from any device with an internet connection – smartphone, tablet or laptop – and with 3 free upgrades every year it is ideal for small businesses and large enterprises alike. This revolutionary approach has helped to make Sales Cloud the world’s number 1 CRM system.

But Salesforce is more than just a single product – it’s a complete integrated solution for managing all interactions with your customers and prospects, designed to help your organisation grow and succeed.

Microsoft: Database as a Service (DaaS)

“We would like to have the data flow to our clients like ‘water from the faucet” stated the customer for which this solution was designed. This on-premises (on-prem) SQL Server based application contains crucial financial data for the external clients of this customer. External clients using this solution subscribe to this data and there is a need to deliver a subset of this data (8 Terabytes (TB) and growing) to them based on their subscription levels and requirements. A significant number of challenges are present with the current on-prem solution to meet these needs.

Current Challenges

Currently, a custom solution is in place to manually export the subset of the data that each external client needs and to “ship” it to the individual client via File Transfer Protocol (FTP). It currently takes 3 to 4 weeks for on-boarding a new external client with this process. This custom solution is also meant to identify and extract on-going changes and manually push these changes to the individual customers, which takes 1 to 2 days. These external clients are obviously not happy with the latency in data delivery.

Multiple cases of data loss and corruption have also been experienced with this solution. Moreover, the entire solution is disconnected as there is no control over the data sets that are being delivered which poses security concerns, not to mention the monitoring and maintenance challenges.

IoT alimenta crescimento de malware Linux

Malware que visa sistemas Linux está crescendo, em grande parte devido à proliferação de dispositivos criados para se conectar à Internet das coisas.

Essa é uma das descobertas em um relatório WatchGuard Technologies, um fabricante de dispositivos de segurança de rede, lançado na semana passada.

O relatório, que analisa os dados coletados de mais de 26.000 aparelhos em todo o mundo, encontrou três programas de malware Linux nos 10 melhores do primeiro trimestre do ano, em comparação com apenas um durante o período anterior.

“Os ataques e malwares do Linux estão aumentando”, escreveu o diretor de atenção da WatchGuard Corey Nachreiner e o analista de ameaças da segurança Marc Laliberte, co-autores do relatório. “Nós acreditamos que isso é porque as fraquezas sistêmicas nos dispositivos IoT, emparelhados com seu rápido crescimento, estão dirigindo autores de botnet para a plataforma Linux”.

No entanto, “o bloqueio de Telnet e SSH de entrada, juntamente com o uso de senhas administrativas complexas, pode impedir a grande maioria dos possíveis ataques”, sugeriram.

“Os atacantes podem ter acesso a essas interfaces vulneráveis, depois carregar e executar o código malicioso de sua escolha”, disse Fletcher.

Os fabricantes freqüentemente têm configurações padrão precárias para seus dispositivos, ele apontou.

“Muitas vezes, as contas de administrador têm senhas em branco ou senhas padrão fáceis de adivinhar, como” senha123 “, disse Fletcher.

Os problemas de segurança geralmente não são “nada específico do Linux per se”, disse Johannes B. Ullrich, diretor de pesquisa do Instituto SANS.

“O fabricante é descuidado sobre como eles configuraram o dispositivo, então eles tornam trivial a exploração desses dispositivos”, disse ele ao LinuxInsider.

Malware no Top 10

Esses programas de malware Linux criaram o top 10 no recorde do WatchGuard no primeiro trimestre:

Linux / Exploit, que captura vários trojans maliciosos usados ​​para escanear sistemas para dispositivos que podem ser alistados em um botnet. Linux / Downloader, que captura scripts de shell malévolos do Linux. O Linux é executado em muitas arquiteturas diferentes, como ARM, MIPS e chipsets tradicionais x86. Um executável compilado para uma arquitetura não será executado em um dispositivo com um diferente, o relatório explica. Assim, alguns ataques do Linux exploram scripts shell shell para baixar e instalar os componentes maliciosos apropriados para a arquitetura que eles estão infectando. O Linux / Flooder, que captura ferramentas de distribuição de negação de serviço do Linux, como Tsunami, usado para executar ataques de ampliação DDoS, bem como ferramentas DDoS usadas por botnets Linux como o Mirai. “Como o botnet Mirai nos mostrou, os dispositivos IoT baseados em Linux são um alvo primordial para os exércitos de botnet”, observa o relatório. Servidor Web Battleground

Uma mudança na forma como os adversários estão atacando a Web ocorreu, o relatório WatchGuard anota.

No final de 2016, 73 por cento dos ataques da Web visavam clientes – navegadores e software de suporte, a empresa encontrou. Isso mudou radicalmente durante os primeiros três meses deste ano, com 82% dos ataques da Web focados em servidores da Web ou serviços baseados na Web.

“Nós não pensamos que os ataques de estilo de download drive-by vão desaparecer, mas parece que os atacantes concentraram seus esforços e ferramentas na tentativa de explorar ataques do servidor da Web”, escreveram os co-autores Nachreiner e Laliberte.

Houve um declínio na eficácia do software antivírus desde o final de 2016, eles também encontraram.

“Pelo segundo trimestre consecutivo, vimos a nossa solução AV avançada faltar uma grande quantidade de malware que nossa solução mais avançada pode capturar. Na verdade, aumentou de 30% para 38%”, informou Nachreiner e Laliberte.

“Hoje em dia, os cibercriminosos usam muitos truques sutis para reembalar seu malware, de modo que evade a detecção baseada em assinatura”, observaram. “É por isso que muitas redes que usam o AV básico são vítimas de ameaças como o Ransomware”.

IDERA Releases SQL Secure and SQL Doctor Cloud Updates

HOUSTON–(BUSINESS WIRE)–IDERA, a leading provider of database lifecycle management solutions, today released major updates to its flagship SQL Secure and SQL Doctorproducts to include new cloud capabilities. These releases allow data professionals to adapt to, experiment with and take advantage of expanding cloud strategies, and helps DBAs embrace the speed and agility demands of DevOps with database performance and security recommendations designed for the public cloud.

With the latest versions of SQL Secure and SQL Doctor, database administrators (DBAs) can now see on-premise and public cloud-based databases in a single-pane console. They also receive cloud-specific recommendations to improve the performance, health and security of public cloud databases to ensure they are just as secure as those on-premise. Both SQL Secure and SQL Doctor target SQL Server on-premise and in Azure VM as well as Azure SQL Database. SQL Doctor also targets SQL Server in Amazon EC2 and Amazon RDS SQL Server.

“The continued growth in hybrid cloud environments increases the likelihood of data breaches, which is one of the tradeoffs for realizing the benefits of the public cloud,” said Robert Anderson, vice president of product management at IDERA. “It’s imperative that organizations have policies and tools in place that can detect when sensitive data is at risk. IDERA gives users the confidence to move databases to the cloud by connecting the dots between traditional DBA operations and modern DevOps teams, while helping them improve the performance and security of cloud databases with tools they know and trust.”

While other products provide basic performance and availability monitoring of cloud databases, SQL Doctor now inspects cloud and on-premises databases for common health concerns, providing detailed recommendations and script actions to resolve problems and optimize performance. SQL Doctor also directly manages cloud database as a service (that is, Amazon RDS SQL Server and Azure SQL Database), resulting in superior visibility and performance.

The latest version of SQL Secure now extends product functionality from on-premises databases to databases in the cloud, giving DBAs a comprehensive, automated solution for analyzing, monitoring and reporting on security concerns for SQL Server and Azure SQL Databases. SQL Secure verifies on-premises and cloud databases against security best practices from a single console, allowing companies to move workloads to the cloud without fear of a debilitating security breach.

Attach SQL database = access denied

More of a reminder for myself, as this has happened multiple times. If you try to attach to a database and you get an ‘access denied’ error, be sure to run SSMS as an Administrator. Some posts will also mention that the SQL Server service account needs Modify access to the file/folder. But the former 'fix’ did the trick this time.
