    Woodler s.r.o.
    Woodler SMT is intended to be [a] specialized SQL Server monitoring tool. Unlike other monitoring systems, Woodler SMT does not take care [of] networks, AD, and other stuff along [with] company infrastructures. As for me, at least, this makes the Woodler SMT very strong in its area of expertise. If anybody is looking for [professional,] specialized SQL performance monitoring, the Woodler SMT would be the best choice. For general monitoring, this tool rather will not help.

Woodler SMT helps identify performance bottlenecks and drill down into specific areas with targeted exploratory reports.Screenshot of Per file storage metrics One of the most comprehensive analyses in the tool, delivering deep insight into storage performance. Analyze read/write latency, throughput, I/O, and average block size with precise database file-level granularity.Screenshot of Per table index usage analysis. This offers visibility into SQL Server by analyzing operational and usage metrics down to the index level, with up to 3 years of historical data. It can be used for uncovering suboptimal or unused indexes.Screenshot of Query performance analysis over time. Detect plan changes instantly through visual indicators (different line color) See real execution time (Last Duration), not misleading averagesScreenshot of Wait statistic analysis Thread wait statistics are a baseline standard for performance analysis, and SMT goes beyond that. By including signal waits, spinlocks, and latches, it enables the viewer to detect and resolve the most complex thread synchronization issues.
