I only wish it were so easy. Unfortunately, there is no perl DBI for SQLServer; from what I've seen on the web, most people hack together solutions with DBI::Proxy and DBD::ODBC, but it is by no means a trivial process. Given my prior experience with the joys of ODBC, I'd like to avoid going down that particular road.
I've also seen that some people have had success DBD::Sybase, but that solution is also fraught with perils and complications, and does not uniformly work for all versions of SQL Server. Being a happy Perl hacker, I'd like to write a perl script to do the monitoring. Failing that, I could also use JDBC, and write my monitor script in Java. Uggh, but a possible solution. Andrew's proposed solution of using the Concord SNMP agent on Windows boxes to send a trap sounds intriguing. Does anyone have comments on other preferred SNMP agents for Windows2000? We've had many, many battles and problems with the Microsoft-supplied agent, and have ended up junking it. I've played a little with Net-SNMP on Windows, but it really didn't do all that I had hoped.
