SQL Sentry doesn't support watching only primary nodes on SQL Listener or Cluster Name to make licence profit. When adding SQL Server SQL Sentry should accept also SQL Listener and there should be an option to make choice watch only primary node.

Currently, only one price can be associated to a service catalog (see image below). This means if you have a service catalog like "Hardware Request" where the requester can select multiple items, the requester can't see the price of their selections but only the static price assigned to the service catalog. I'd like the…
Sorry if this isn't the right area for this discussion. During Thwack camp this year I saw Network Automation Manager mentioned quite a few times, so I decided to look it up and try to get some more information on it.

So, it should come as no surprise that convincing executives to allocate budget money toward IT monitoring software can be a challenge. To…
OR: "Don’t just sit there, DO something!" If you have used a monitoring tool for any length of time, you are certainly comfortable setting up new devices like servers, routers, switches and the like.
