Download details: SQL Server 2005 Performance Dashboard Reports
Overview The SQL Server 2005 Performance Dashboard Reports are Reporting Services report files designed to be used with the Custom Reports feature introduced in the SP2 release of SQL Server Management Studio. The reports allow a database administrator to quickly identify whether there is a current bottleneck on their system, and if a bottleneck is present, capture additional diagnostic data that may be necessary to resolve the problem. For example, if the system is experiencing waits for disk IO the dashboard allows the user to quickly see which sessions are performing the most IO, what query is running on each session and the query plan for each statement.
Many of you have used the SQL Server 2000 blocker script (see KB 271509 ) to help troubleshoot performance issues in SQL 2000. If you haven't used it, you probably use a script of your own that takes a similar approach, polling sysprocesses and virtual tables to detect blocking and other resource contention issues. In PSS we’ve started using a new performance troubleshooting script for SQL 2005; we call this one our "Perf Stats Script", since it's useful for troubleshooting lots of issues in addition to blocking. The script takes advantage of the extremely rich set of data exposed by the new Dynamic Management Views in SQL Server 2005.
