SQL Planner – Event Log Monitoring Feature
Monitor, analyze, and manage your SQL Server and Windows Server event logs efficiently — all from a single intuitive dashboard.
Overview
The Event Log Monitoring feature within SQL Planner helps you stay on top of critical system and application events by providing an organized, visual overview of your server logs. Once you log in to SQL Planner, you’ll find the SQL Server Monitoring module. Navigate to the Server Overview section — this is dedicated to Windows Server Monitoring. Among various dashboard categories, our focus today will be on the Event Log tab.
Real-Time Event Log Dashboard
When you open the Event Log tab, you’ll see the current monitoring status for all configured servers.
- Hourly Error Occurrences: The first graph displays hourly error occurrences per server.
- Aggregated Breakdown: On the right-hand side, you’ll find an aggregated server-level breakdown categorized by log severity: Information, Warning, Error, and Critical.
At a glance, you can assess your environment’s health — and as seen in this example, there are currently no critical errors detected.
Filtering and Analysis
The filtering options help you quickly locate the information that matters most:
By selecting only “Error” logs, for example, you can instantly focus on the most pressing issues across your environment.
