Idera has announced SharePoint diagnostic manager 2.5 to provide real-time performance monitoring, analysis and alerting of SharePoint farms and servers from a single console.

It provides insight into SQL Server, including configuration options and database fragmentation, showing how databases are allocated across drives and alowing capacity planning to be performed using data and log file growth trends.

SharePoint diagnostic manager enables users to acknowledge and clear ongoing alerts, or disable an alert forever.

"SharePoint touches many areas in an organization making peak performance a priority and also making it difficult at times to pinpoint what might be causing performance issues," said Rick Pleczko, President and CEO of Idera.

"SharePoint diagnostic manager's expanded ability to monitor SQL Server helps admins find the sluggish databases or configuration issues that are causing poor SharePoint performance. Also, the new version allows users to personalize what issues they are alerted to based on their organizations' standards and preferences."

Idera's SharePoint diagnostic manager is available at $US995 per server.
