Tracking Resource Utilization in Performance Monitor

Erik Darling has another video tutorial:

In this video, I delve into the resource metrics tabs of the full dashboard from my free SQL Server performance monitoring tool. I explain how these tabs provide more detailed information compared to the lighter version, including CPU utilization, TempDB usage, memory usage, and a selection of perfmon counters. The goal is to help you quickly identify when your server might be experiencing issues by showing real-time data and historical trends that can pinpoint specific performance bottlenecks. I also highlight how the weight stats section helps in understanding wait statistics, making it easier to diagnose problems related to resource contention and query compilation.
