Every DBA hates to wake up at midnight just to learn there is an emergency with their database. Sometimes, even though their hardware specifications are above par and they know everything was working fine earlier that day, DBAs are still faced with a slow server. Luckily, there are always some early indicators which can help DBAs predict upcoming issues. Proactively monitoring their database and keeping a vigilant eye on the database key areas are mandatory tasks for all DBAs.
