SQL Plan Explorer // VirusTotal False Positive? // Microsoft Defender "Unknown publisher" Warning
Hi everyone, I just downloaded the SQL Plan Explorer Tool [www.solarwinds.com/.../plan-explorer (SolarWinds-PlanExplorer.exe)] to help analyze the performance of some SQL views. When I scan the EXE against VirusTotal, it's coming back with "W32.AIDetectMalware" from "Bkav Pro". I am also getting a "Unknown publisher"…
Monitoring SQL without using credentials over the network
Hi there, Is it possible to monitor a SQL server and instance without the need to open up multiple ports between two networks and also negate the need to use credentials over that same network? An example would be if I wanted to monitor a SQL server/instance in a secure zone that only allows incoming connections on…
Requirements for SQL Sentry on CLIENT machine
We are working on changing over our client packaging for user machines (ie desktop/laptop) and looking to validate requirements for the SQL Sentry tool install. We have had (and seem to still have) the Microsoft Report Viewer 2010 Redistributable which was a requirement for viewing any of the built in reports. Per the…

SQL Sentry processes getting blocked - should I care?

I don't see any 'important' queries from my applications getting blocked. Example SQL Sentry blocked query is shown below as spelled out in the email alert. Blocked SPID:…
High data transfer from targets to monitoring server
We have just deployed SQL Sentry into our environment and we are seeing high amounts of data sent from the monitored targets to the monitoring server. Averaging 10GB sent from each target to the monitoring server over 24 hour period. Is this normal? we have almost 50 monitored targets and we’re seeing almost 500GB being…
Health scores differ between desktop client and portal
The health scores displayed in my SQL Sentry desktop client and Portal rarely if ever agree. The desktop client currently shows a score of 84 over the past 24 hours at the "global" level (no filtering applied). The Portal shows 68, again for 24 and unfiltered. Why do I have such drastic differences between these two? Is…
SQL Sentry Plan Explorer - missing history?
Previously when using SQL Sentry Plan Explorer, I was able to save the History of queries run in the same session. Now, when I run several queries in succession, save the session, close SQL Sentry Plan Explorer and then reopen it, load the saved session - only the last run query shows up in the history? In the screenshot…
Looking for a modified data space advisory condition that rolls up to filegroups instead of individual files
We've been looking for an alternative advisory condition to the provided % Free Space - Data/Log File(s). I have one that we had used in the past but within SQL Sentry it only returns the first result - not multiples. Even if an order by is added to force the first result to be one of the events that should trigger, we get…

Question about Schedules and Windows, when I want any alert to be fired during certain time windows, in EST timezone, for instance, what best practice should I follow?
