Mobile Functionality

• In a previous SlideShare we discussed how heat
  map views, alarm lists, and graphical
  representations of alarm indicators can take the
  stress out of on-the-fly investigative work.

• Naturally, this can be even more useful when you
  can see the status of your SQL Server databases
  without having to be tethered to your
  workstation.
• Mobile monitoring gets easier by the month with
  more elegant extensions of SQL Server tools
  appear with native apps on Android, iOS, and
  Windows Mobile.

Mobile Functionality

• The clever heat map visualization allows you to
  assess a problem in no more time than it takes to
  order that 3 combo through use of visual tiles
  whose size and color is proportionate to the
  number and severity of issues raised against any
  connection.
• A single glance tells you which one needs the
  most urgent attention.
• One screen tap, and you can see a list of alarms
  for the connection.

Managing Alarm Views

• Users can skip the heat map view to instead view
  an alarms list that displays alarms by severity,
  with drill-down available to detail screens. 
• The DBA can then acknowledge the issue and dive
  into resolving it, or snooze it for attention
  at a later time.

Pack the work, not the lunch

• In the first instance, your mobile app can then
  communicate securely with Spotlight on SQL Server
  Enterprise, or any other SQL Server Tools, which
  can then acknowledge and eventually remove the
  alarm.
• If the next bite of your burrito (or another,
  more pressing problem) takes precedence, you can
  snooze the alarm and decide when you next want to
  be reminded about it. 

• For many IT folks, having lunch at the desk is a
  common ritual.
• The rise of better mobile SQL Server monitoring
  means you can have lunch where you wantand
  package your work to go instead.
