Experda requires a dedicated server (which can be virtual) for the Experda agent. For the on-premise version, there are specifics such as SQL Server 2019 Standard or higher, Windows Server 2019 or higher, and sufficient RAM and processor resources. The cloud version has similar requirements but also requires unlocking secured ports for internet access for communication with the main cloud repository system.

Yes, Experda supports both on-premise and cloud SQL servers. The on-premise version is ideal for larger organizations that require enhanced security, while the cloud version provides a more flexible and easily updated solution for other businesses.

Experda supports all MSSQL instances post-2005, including express versions. Some features are not supported in 2005 and 2008 versions such as always on monitoring or backup compressions.

To install Experda, start by signing up on the Experda website and downloading the local agent installation file. Install the agent on a dedicated server using the provided installation wizard. The agent will act as a bridge between your SQL instances and the Experda interface, securely collecting data and executing commands. After installation, configure the system by adding managed servers and applying any necessary settings.

See video “Add New Server”

The Experda local agent is installed on a dedicated server within your network. It collects data from your SQL servers, executes commands, and facilitates communication between your on-prem servers and the Experda user interface. It is essential for both the cloud and on-premise versions of Experda. Once you sign up on the experda website, you will receive a downloadable agent file. Make sure to keep note of the credentials you receive with the file – you will need to use them during the agent installation wizard.
  • Use the server tree on the left side of the interface to switch between different SQL servers. The tree displays all servers under a client, allowing you to select a server and view its corresponding dashboards and performance data.
  • For “partner” level companies – the tree will provide a hierarchy of all your associated managed clients and corresponding client dashboards.
