Then you can use a foreach loop and the Invoke-Sqlcmd cmdlet to create a simple script to enable maintenance mode by looping through the results of that TSQL query. Start up a Powershell session in the Command Prompt window. For this example, I am running it directly from the repository server. You can run the SQLdm Powershell commands from any workstation that has the SQLdm console installed. For the rest of this post, I’ll assume you have some basic knowledge of how Powershell works. If you’re not familiar with Powershell, then hop on over to Microsoft site to start learning before you get left behind. Luckily for us, Idera has included a Powershell plugin for managing SQLdm. However, if I’m monitoring a hundred servers, then using the GUI to place them all in maintenance mode could take 20 or 30 minutes. Hello, I am trying to prepare a script to automate instance management to add and remove servers to SQLDM monitoring. Its based on peak.storage and peak. If I’m only monitoring a few servers, it’s not that big of a deal.

The GUI is great for managing servers except when I need to put all monitored servers in maintenance mode.

There are no server-side agents, so it’s a very lightweight tool and good for monitoring all SQL Servers in your environment. Pros and Cons SQLdm does a good job of providing information at a high level, but also allows me to drill down to specific queries and events if needed. SQLDM is no longer reported inflated values for the SQL Server CPU Usage (Percent) metric on monitored instances running on systems with hyper-threaded CPU. Idera SQL Diagnostic Manager (or as I call it “SQLdm”) is a great monitoring and performance tuning tool that I was introduced to a few years ago. SQLdm provides me the information that I need to address any complaints about speed and connectivity from an interface thats easy to move around in.
