Server

A server is a SQL Server instance that is monitored by a SQL diagnostic manager (SQLdm) application.

TIP	To receive notifications when activity occurs on servers you own, change your account settings.

How do I see a list of all monitored instances?

On the SQLdm Mobile home page, tap Directory, filter your list to show SQL Servers. You can filter the Directory view to see just applications or coworkers, too.

Does it matter where my servers are located?

No. Servers can be located in any geographic location. Within the Idera Newsfeed or SQLdm Mobile, you can access any server that you would normally be able to monitor using the SQLdm Console.

How can I interact with a server?

You can interact with your monitored servers by:

• Following servers so you can see their status updates in your Most Recent feed
• Announcing (un)scheduled maintenance activities on the server's wall so that coworkers know when the server will be unavailable
• Commenting on server status updates to share your latest findings about an issue
• Marking the server as a favorite so you can easily and quickly access it
• Keeping up-to-date when information changes on a server's profile
• Tagging a server by mentioning it in a comment

How do I get to a server's wall?

On the SQLdm Mobile home page, tap Directory, filter your list to show SQL Servers, and then tap the server whose wall you want to view.

How do I follow a server?

On the SQLdm Mobile home page, tap Directory, filter your list to show SQL Servers, and then tap the instance you want to follow. Tap Follow on the action menu of the Server view.

Why should I follow a server?

Follow a server if you want to see its status updates and related activity in your feed. To get notified about specific alerts and events concerning the server, assign yourself as the server owner.
