⚠️Defaults have changed for new connections. Slow query capture, query plans for running queries, live plans, query stats and the deadlock session are now on when you add a connection. Existing connections keep their settings.
Which file should I download?
| I want to... | Download |
|---|---|
| Set up monitoring (repository DB + service + GUI) | DBADash_4.25.0.zip |
| Add a monitoring client on another machine (installer, updates to match the repository) | DBADash_GUI_Setup_4.25.0.exe |
| Add a monitoring client for all users of a machine (installer, needs admin) | DBADash_GUI_Setup_4.25.0.msi |
| Add a monitoring client on another machine (xcopy deployment, no install) | DBADash_GUI_Only_4.25.0.zip |
| View query plans/deadlocks only - no monitoring (installer, auto-updates) | DBADash_Visualizer_Setup_4.25.0.exe |
| View query plans/deadlocks only - for all users of a machine (installer, needs admin) | DBADash_Visualizer_Setup_4.25.0.msi |
| View query plans/deadlocks only - no monitoring (xcopy deployment, no install) | DBADash_Visualizer_4.25.0.zip |
The GUI installer keeps the GUI at the version of the repository database it connects to - install the version that matches your repository. The .msi installers ask whether to install for you or for everyone; installing updates for everyone needs admin rights.
All of the above also include the SSMS extension. See Docs/Visualizer.md and Docs/GUIInstaller.md for details.
