What Is SQL Diagnostic Manager?
SQL Diagnostic Manager is a powerful, real-time SQL Server performance and health monitoring solution used by DBAs who want fast insight, fewer surprises, and more efficient SQL performance tuning. With agentless monitoring, customizable alerts, and an easy-to-use SQL Server performance dashboard, SQL DM gives you the visibility you need to catch issues early and keep your environment running smoothly.
It’s one of the most trusted database monitoring tools for SQL Server and Azure SQL.
What’s New in SQL Diagnostic Manager 13.2?
Query Monitor + Query Waits Now in the Web Console
One of the most important updates in 13.2 is the addition of Query Monitor and Query Waits screens to the SQL DM Web Console.
DBAs rely on these views for fast SQL performance tuning and root-cause analysis. Now, you can access:
Signature Mode
Statement Mode
Query History
Query Waits
—all directly from the browser, with a layout that mirrors the Windows Console.
Publish SQL Diagnostic Manager Reports to Power BI or SSRS
SQL DM 13.2 also expands reporting flexibility. You can now publish SQL DM’s existing reports directly to Microsoft Power BI or SQL Server Reporting Services (SSRS).
This gives teams more options for analytics, dashboards, and organization-wide reporting—right from tools they already use.

Build clean, shareable reports
Troubleshoot performance issues from anywhere
Strengthen their overall SQL Server performance posture
In short, SQL Diagnostic Manager 13.2 gives you better visibility, faster insight, and more flexibility—no matter the size or complexity of your environment.
