Hi Experts,
Could anybody please suggest me a way to monitor the load on my database server?
What perfmon counters should I monitor on daily basis and confirm that load on the server is increasing day by day [or] by week by week [or] every month. Also, suggest me if we can achieve this using DMV's so that we can store this info in a table using a SQL agent job. Because a sql guy I would be more happy working with TSQL queries.
Do all this helps me, to put for forward my argument to the management that this server can handle this much of load based on data and incase if the load is increased on the server , we might need more resources ( like cpu, better storage , more RAM etc ...) or move to a new server which has more power.
Also, please suggest any load testing tools so that I can test this on testing environment.
Thanks in Advance.
