Early access · limited places SQL Server estate monitoring · SOX access attestation

Audit-ready evidence.
Estate-wide health.
One collector.

SQL Data Collector watches your SQL Servers from one agentless Windows service: backups, restore points, drive space, patch levels, failed jobs, and who holds what permission. When the auditors arrive, it gives you a sealed attestation PDF to hand them instead of a stack of spreadsheets.

SQL Data Collector is a new product, tested so far in a handful of large SQL Server environments and now open to a limited number of early-access customers before general release.

Early access

Run it on real servers. Tell us what is wrong. Pay less for year one.

SQL Data Collector is a new product. It has been tested in a handful of large SQL Server environments, and before general release we are opening it to a limited number of early-access customers. The trade is straightforward: run it in a real estate, tell us what breaks and what is missing, and get a 40% early-access discount on the first-year licence.

What early access gets you

  • 40% off the first-year licence, then 20% off every renewal.
  • A direct line to the engineer who built it.
  • Your reported issues fixed first.
  • A say in what gets built next.

What we ask

  • Run it in a real SQL Server estate, not a lab.
  • Report what breaks and what is missing, as you find it.
  • Expect a new product. Finding its rough edges is the point.
  • Be blunt. We can fix a specific complaint; we cannot fix a polite silence.

How it works

  • The installer is not a public download. Fill in the form below: AlertLink Technologies reviews each request within one business day and, if it is approved, sends the link personally.
  • Start on the 14-day trial: up to 14 servers, every feature.
  • Licences are issued per install and run for a year. The early-access discount applies to the first year.
  • If it does not earn its place, uninstall it from its host and delete anything left in its install folder, then drop its database and the login you created for it. No agents were ever installed on the monitored servers.

The 40% discount covers the first-year licence only; licences are annual and issued per install. Places are limited, and early access ends at general release. Renewals stay 20% off list for as long as the subscription continues without a lapse.

Built for the audit.

Permissions review that ends in a sealed packet, not a spreadsheet.

The Permissions Audit dashboard captures logins, fixed server-role and database-role memberships, and object- and column-level grants and denies. It resolves Active Directory group nesting so inherited access shows its full path, and turns the SOX access review into three deliberate steps. Version 7.14.0.0 does not capture server-level permissions such as CONTROL SERVER, database- or schema-level grants made directly to users, roles nested in other roles, or database users without a login.

STEP 01 · REVIEW

See only what changed, or what is privileged.

An exception-based, risk-sorted review queue. Certified access stays quiet until that principal's captured access changes or is due for recertification. Suspicious grants captured by the change trace must be investigated with a written outcome before anything can be sealed.

Permissions Audit review tab with critical findings and Certify / Revoke / Drop actions
STEP 02 · DECIDE

Certify, revoke, or drop, per item or per group.

A revoke becomes a DBA remediation task with a generated T-SQL script. The next audit pass checks that the revoked access no longer appears in its capture and records the result. Access that reappears after a verified removal is flagged CRITICAL on its own.

By-user view: one row per login and server, showing its access categories and whether each is held directly or inherited
STEP 03 · SEAL

Two people sign off. Then one click seals the packet.

Separation of duties is enforced by default: at least one signer must have made no decisions. Once every item is decided, every remediation is verified and every suspicious change is investigated, a user with the console's Auditor role seals the attestation: the PDF carries a CERTIFIED COMPLETE stamp, and its SHA-256 fingerprint is recorded.

The evidence

A sealed PDF, tamper-evident inside your own install.

Every sealed attestation is a self-contained report: scope, who certified it, certified access by category, each revocation and removal, and the remediation trail. The console re-checks the file's hash each time it is opened or downloaded, so a modified packet turns red.

  • A seal stamp naming who sealed it, with the seal ID and date
  • Decision-trail CSV export alongside the PDF
  • Recertification: certifications expire after a period you set, or one click re-queues every prior certification
  • Aging findings, stale sign-off banners, and orphaned-decision lists keep the next cycle honest
From review queue to sealed packet, in one tool.

One console, two sign-offs, one download. The permission inventory, the review decisions, and the sealed report are all produced by the same tool that already monitors your estate.

What it watches

The routine checks a DBA team does by hand, run for you on a schedule.

Each area is its own dashboard with a fleet roll-up, per-server drill-down, and deep links from the Health Briefing to the dashboard where each finding is fixed.

Backup status

Full, differential, and log freshness per database, failures from SQL Agent history, size anomalies, and Availability Group awareness: group the monitored replicas once and backups are followed to whichever replica ran them.

Restore points and RPO

The latest point each database can be restored to according to its backup history, broken log chains and missing backup files, with future-dated backups flagged in the Health Briefing. Five assignable RPO levels set the thresholds per database.

Drive space forecasting

True volume capacity via WMI, fill rate, and days-until-full runway per volume. Capacity changes are logged as an audit trail and database files on the OS drive get called out.

SQL versions and end of life

Build and patch level per server against a SQL Server build list you import or edit, reboot age, and end-of-support dates so the upgrade conversation happens before the audit does.

Failed SQL Agent jobs

Failed and flaky jobs across the fleet with acknowledge, plus a failure history so recurring problems are visible as a pattern rather than a surprise.

Security checks and error log

Per-server hardening checks, a read-only scan of each SQL Server error log with recurrence roll-ups, and a login audit for the console itself.

Trends and sizes

Backup duration and size trends with slow-run detection, and per-database size history so growth is measured, not guessed.

Health Briefing

A deterministic, ranked list of what needs attention across the dashboards, worst first, each with the action to take and a link to where it is fixed. Snoozes are reasoned and expire.

Server 360

One server's open findings, backups, restore points, drives, version and patch level, failing jobs and error log on a single page, each section pre-filtered and linked to its full dashboard. The fleet map, heatmap, and search all land here.

Architecture

One service. No agents on the servers it watches.

The MSI installs a self-contained .NET 8 Windows service on a Windows Server or Windows 10/11 host. It keeps its own database on a SQL Server you choose and connects out to every monitored instance on a schedule.

Your data stays in your network

The collector runs entirely inside your estate. Its only call outside your network is an anonymous check for a signed update file, once a day by default, which you can switch off. Credentials for monitored servers are optional: use the service account, or a SQL login whose password is stored AES-256-GCM encrypted on your own collector database.

Per-dashboard membership

Include or exclude any server from any monitor independently. Track a DEV box on SQL Versions while leaving it off Backup Status.

Signed update notices

Installs check a signed manifest once a day by default and show a quiet sidebar link when a release is available. No release is ever downloaded or installed on its own.

Pricing

Priced per server. No modules, no add-ons.

Every feature is included. You pay per monitored SQL Server instance, per year, in US dollars, and the band price applies to every server in the order.

Requirements

  • A Windows host for the service: Windows Server, or Windows 10/11. It does not need to be a SQL Server.
  • Network access to one SQL Server that will hold the collector's own database, and to the servers you want to monitor.
  • A service account or SQL login the collector can use, configurable per server. For a complete Permissions Audit it needs sysadmin, or VIEW ANY DEFINITION and access to every database; with less, version 7.14.0.0 records a partial inventory without warning. The user guide lists every right it uses.
  • Optional remote WMI access for true drive-capacity figures and OS boot time.
  • No agent or service installed on the monitored servers.
