The full beauty of this tool is visible after you have at least a week of history is recorded, even after the very first day of monitoring you will be able to answer the question: what needs to be done to make your server work faster?

You can not only record the hourly statistics of you CPU usage, Physical and Logical IO, Cache hits ratio, but you can also add any custom counters. Using these counters you can define performance metrics on the SQL server level as well as on the Business level (for example, the number of customers served), and even link these levels (for example, an average number of Physical Reads per Customer transaction)
