  • Monitor your SQL Server in real-time.
  • Graphically display Locks, CPU, Memory, and I/O action in a moving line graph.
  • Watch who is coming and going, minutes connected, CPU, memory and locking usage per connection.
  • Monitor SQL statements that are being sent to your SQL Server.
  • Record SQL statements that are coming through the procedure cache. (SQL Server 2000 sp3 only)
  • See when a transaction is blocked and by whom.
  • View what's being cached, as well as cache statistics.
  • Kill connections to your SQL Server and keep them out. Send the Kill command on a delayed timer to keep unwanted users from connecting to your SQL Server.

This application is very nice.  A simple, uncluttered UI with lots of power with a few mouse clicks.  And free!  (There are some other SQL Server utilities on the site as well.)
