Ekalix Sight · early access

See it all. Know what to fix first.

Ekalix Sight watches your SQL Servers, Windows servers, IIS applications and MongoDB replica sets - live, read-only and without agents - and explains every finding in plain English.

What it watches

Four estates. One screen.

SQL Server

Availability groups, replication, jobs, backups, disks, blocking, deadlocks, plans and the error log.

Windows Server

CPU, memory, disks, services, scheduled tasks, updates, certificates and the event log.

IIS applications

Sites, application pools, worker processes, request rates, errors and HTTPS certificates.

MongoDB

Replica set health, replication lag, oplog window, operations, connections and cache.

Everything in one place

From a quick glance to the root cause.

Command centre

Every alert and every server on one screen, grouped by environment, live.

Live views

Sessions, requests, waits and counters refreshed every few seconds, on the server you choose.

Performance history

Readings kept for two years, so a slow Tuesday can be compared with last quarter.

Alerting that explains

Teams, Slack or email, with reminders, quiet hours and maintenance windows you control.

Question library

More than a hundred read-only checks you can run on one server or a hundred at once.

Deadlocks and plans

Deadlocks and execution plans drawn as pictures, with the expensive step marked.

Capacity forecasts

How many days until each drive is full, from the trend - before it becomes an incident.

Plain-English explanations

A built-in rule engine explains every finding; you can connect your own AI model if you want.

Roles and audit

Windows sign-in with roles, and a tamper-evident log of who did what, and when.

How it works

Running in an afternoon.

Copy the folder

Put Ekalix Sight on any Windows Server in your network. Nothing is installed on the servers it watches.

Give it a database

It keeps settings and history in your own SQL Server - 2016 SP1 or later, Express is fine.

Add your servers

Add them one by one or find them from the directory. Ekalix reads them with read-only permissions.

Security

Safe to point at production.

  • Read-only. Ekalix Sight does not change your servers. The one optional exception is a small Extended Events session for deadlock history, created only if you choose to.
  • No agents, no inbound ports on the servers you monitor.
  • Encrypted secrets. Stored passwords and keys are encrypted and never shown again.
  • Windows sign-in and roles - Viewer, Operator, Auditor, Administrator, Owner.
  • Tamper-evident audit trail of every sign-in and change.
  • Your data stays yours - in your network, in your database.
Questions

Frequently asked.

Does Ekalix Sight need agents on my servers?

No. It reads SQL Server over its normal connection, Windows and IIS over WinRM, and MongoDB over its own protocol - with read-only permissions.

Will it slow my servers down?

No noticeable effect. A typical reading costs SQL Server a few milliseconds of CPU, and Ekalix shows you its own cost on every server so you can check.

Where is my data kept?

In your own SQL Server database, inside your network. Nothing is sent to Ekalix.

Which versions are supported?

SQL Server 2016 SP1 and later for Ekalix's own database; monitored SQL Servers, Windows Server, IIS and MongoDB replica sets across current supported versions. Ask us about older ones.

How is it licensed?

By the number of servers you monitor, with a free trial first. See pricing or ask for a quote.
