Baselining SQL Server with the First Responder Kit

Ajay Dwivedi has a GitHub project showing a method to collect baseline measures for SQL Server using Brent Ozar’s First Responder Kit:

With sp_BlitzFirst & sp_WhoIsActive in a SQL Agent job with scheduled execution for every 10-15 minutes, you can look back in time in terms of What was running, its execution stats, file stats, wait stats and Perfmon counters. This would help you to answer anybody as why your server was slow at a particular point in time.
