Presented as a virtual User Group meeting through Teams, on Tuesday October 27th.

Sure, the market offers countless paid solutions, but what if you have a large server estate and your budget is tight? In this session we will combine multiple open source tools (InfluxDB, Telegraf , Grafana, dbatools and many more) to collect important performance metrics, analyze the data they collect, set up alerts for the critical events, troubleshoot issues and plan for the future.
