SQLTempo

SQLTempo is a FREE-to-use lightweight reporting utility currently for SQL Server. It captures the current state of an instance and its databases and produces a small HTML report you can use to compare against prior reports from days, weeks, or even months ago. It's designed to be run from a DBA's workstation, so nothing is installed on production servers.

  • Installs and updates from a single location — no agent on the SQL Server
  • Runs from a DBA's workstation or a single shared application server
  • Ideal for Historical review that allows changes to be seen overtime
  • Simple command-line usage, ready to run in under five minutes

What does the SQLTempo report include? Here is a small list of reported sections.

  • SQL server Time/Up Time/Version and more...
  • SQL Volume Information, Total Size, Available Size, Space Free % and more..
  • Database Files, Physical Name and Location, Max Size, Growth and more...
  • Drive Latency, Drive, Read Latency, Write Latency and more...
  • SQL Backup Information, Recovery Model, Last Full Backup, Last Differential Backup and more..
  • and so much more.

A special Thank You to Glenn Berry and the entire team at SQLSkills.com for all the support and training over my career as a DBA.

✓ 0 changes required on target server

Zero server footprint

Nothing is installed on production SQL Server instances, which keeps reporting outside of formal change management.

Historical comparison

Ideal to be used to compare today report against last week report to spot any changes.

Command-line first

Scriptable and automatable — run it manually, on a schedule, or as part of a larger reporting pipeline.
