Visualize Your SQL Performance with Ease
SQL Heat Map by Idera provides an intuitive graphical representation of SQL server performance metrics, helping DBAs identify hot spots and optimize database performance effectively.
Intuitive heat map design: The intuitive heat map design provides an easy-to-understand picture of the relative sizes of the tables across each database in your SQL Server instance so that you can rapidly identify the largest capacity consumers. See one visual view of storage utilization in all tables of a database and drill down into each table and index for details.
Capacity planning: The hierarchy view provides an overview of the allocated and used space to help you quickly identify where you may need to increase capacity. See both percentage and bytes used to aid in your planning.
View storage by data types: Data types are color coded for easy identification. Hover over the appropriate color in the map legend to see the total storage allocated to that data type.
