| I think ServersAlive is worth a look. It can do Paging / Text messaging (although that may be a bit hard to set up if its just a single server) but it will also monitor Web servers, Disk space shortage, and all sorts of other things.Freeware for up to 10 monitor-thingies (I think) |

| I appreciate the O/P is in USA, but my $0.02-worth is that "Just use Database Mail to send out the alerts to your cell phone." may be a USA-only solution?My understanding is that USA cell phones are a) pay-to-receive-SMS and b) often have an associated email address that will forward to the phone (although I read that the "priority" of such messages can be suspect!)Over here SMS Text is pay-to-send and free to receive (unless you are out-of-area, e.g. abroad, in which case recipient pays the surcharge for out-of-area). Although there are plenty of Bureaus which provide 07123456789@MySMSBureau.com style mail-to-SMS gateways (buy credits, and then use up at will) |

"I never see a bill."I like the sound of that! but for cellphones over here there would no corresponding "Email Address" to get an SMS to the phone (as that would have no method to get the "sender-to-pay"), hence you have to use a bureau where you have already purchases credits - which may make the task a little harder  Twitter may be another route for folk with iPhone type devices that can have APPs running and do cool stuff on receipt of a message. |

| I mean we don't have any third party tool to monitor CPU, Disk space, Service down. Is there any way to get these alerts to my Cellphone using SQL Server 2005 SSMS |

"I mean we don't have any third party tool to monitor CPU, Disk space, Service down. Is there any way to get these alerts to my Cellphone using SQL Server 2005 SSMS"ServersAlive will do those (I'm pretty sure), and it can send an Email, so if that can trigger an alert on your phone, maybe that will do the trick?You could write BATCH routines, and trigger them from SSMS, but I can't think of a way for SSMS to detect "service down" 'coz it needs the database service running to get its schedule  - although you could obviously use the Windows scheduler instead for those, but I reckon they need to be on a different server in case the SQL box itself is down. ServersAlive will just make an "Are you alive" test of the SQL box, from a remote location(s).Google should find it - they are in Australia I think. |

| If you're on sql server 2008 you can use Data Collection and Policy Management to achieve some of the tasks but not all...MOM, SCOM or some other monitoring tools are probably what you're looking for. Or the open source Munin for example...- Lumbagohttp://xkcd.com/327/ |

| Sorry, I ment to say Nagios instead of Munin...Munin is a graphing tool. And I also heard that ZenOSS is good...- Lumbagohttp://xkcd.com/327/ |

| You might want to take a look at a project that we're working on called PagerDuty ([url]www.pagerduty.com[/url]). It sends phone call and SMS alerts in response to incoming email.We've got some other fun features too: automatic escalation (your co-worker gets the call if you're unable to pick up) and on-call rotations (automatically route calls to your phone this week, and to your co-worker next week).We're always looking to add more features to PagerDuty, so please let us know what you think!Alex SolomonPagerDuty Co-founderwww.pagerduty.com |
