We have SQL Server, and a separate SSRS server install.

All the users for these servers are from an ASP.NET site hosted on some IIS servers that are load balanced.

What I would like to do is setup a system to allow us to monitor the load on SQL Server and the SSRS services, locate bottlenecks, and ideally track what reports are being run/requested by users of the website so we can focus on performance tuning the most popular reports.

Any suggestions on where to start, the direction to go, solid 3rd party tools or a guide on how to use the ones that come with SQL server?

Basically thoughts and guidance overall on this.

Thanks!

Here's what we use: PerfMon, SQL Profiler/SQL Trace, MOM, Performance dashboard reports, SQL Nexus, ClearTrace.

Do you do anything with monitoring the SSRS reports and load?

The only thing we do with that is check what report calls were made by checking the ReportServer database. I don't have the table name though as I'm not the one who does that analysis.
