Hi all,I would like to setup some basic monitoring my SQL servers , I would like to seek some opinions of the best (+ simplest) way to do soq1) check SQL agent service status and start it if necessary (using window task scheduler + bat script/powershell script) ?q2) check datafile and t-log sizes and warn if they are of certain size/limit ? (using sql agent or task sceduler + sqlcmd ?)To side track abitq3) are we able to restore a backup into a database of a different name ? I would like to test the usability of a backup, but i would like to restore + recovery as if it is a totally different databaseq4) can i say - if a backup device/drive for my t-logs backup is full, my t-log backup will fail, but my database will carry on working as it is and my t-log will not get truncated- if my disk/drvice for my t-log itself is full, then my t-log cannot grow further and the database will get into read-only mode if the t-log cannot be expanded furtherRegards,Noob
