SQLWATCH is a SQL Server performance monitoring solution designed for self-monitoring of database instances. The system collects performance metrics, wait statistics, disk utilization, index usage, and query performance data through Extended Events, DMVs, and performance counters, storing the data in a structured SQL Server schema. It features a dual-component architecture: a monitoring agent deployed on each target SQL Server instance (using SQL Agent jobs or Service Broker for scheduling) and an optional central repository importer (SqlWatchImport) for aggregating data from multiple instances. The solution includes alerting via threshold-based checks, automated actions, and integrates with Power BI and Grafana for visualization. Although the code demonstrates solid engineering patterns like snapshot-based collection, delta calculations, and metadata-driven configuration, the README explicitly states the open-source version is no longer actively developed, with active development moved to sqlwatch.cloud.
