Can You Help? We’re Considering Some SSWUG Features…
…but need to know if you think they would help in your work with SQL Server. These would be open-access features.
I’d like to add the ability to start tracking trend-type items on your servers. We’d provide you with a quick script to run that would return a few bits of information. We’d provide you with a place to log the stats (things like CPU utilization, disk space, other performance and growth type things) and then provide you with some online tools to forecast out in the future based on your actual values entered. Over time, the trends would be evident, and we could help with articles, resources, scripts, video how-to and such – all the stuff on SSWUG – that relates to the growth of your systems, or just plan ongoing support of your systems.
You end up with some nice trending and support tools – available online. You’d also end up with related materials – articles, scripts and so-on – that would pertain to the things that are happening on your system.
Would this be interesting? Would you potentially use it?
It’s the start of online utilities (I’ll have a lot more on this going forward) based on the site so you have access to them anywhere, anytime and with backup resources to explain and explore what’s happening on your systems.
But I need to know what you think. If you could, could you drop me an email and let me know your thoughts?
Email me at swynk@sswug.org and let me know what you think.
