What is your preferred method to monitor databases? Should DBAs rely on just Grid control, Tivoli and other automated agents to monitor their databases? What about manual checking everyday to see if you can find a problem? This is a debate that always comes up and some like scripts, and some want to check everyday. What if you have 200-300, or even more databases to check, is this it realistic just rely on one method?
I am curious to know others preferences. I prefer an automated solution such as Oracle's Grid Control. If there is some type of alert occurring out of the normal,then have someone check it out, otherwise focus your efforts on more value added work. I am sure SQL Server has a robust monitoring solution from Quest or Red Gate too, but I am not as familiar with them.
What is the best solution?
