Full performance control for your on-premises SQL Server & Business Central infrastructure.
Identify blocking queries, deadlocks, and bottlenecks in real time. Resolve performance issues fully automatically before your users or customers even notice them.
Full compliance guaranteed. Our V8 monitoring tool is installed entirely within your own infrastructure. Neither telemetry data nor sensitive business data from Business Central or SQL servers leaves your network. Perfect for companies with strict governance and GDPR requirements.
Comprehensive root cause analysis. In on-premises systems, hardware, virtualization, and SQL configuration all interact. Our tool not only monitors the AL code of Business Central but also directly correlates performance drops with SQL locks, RAM bottlenecks, or I/O problems on your servers.
Resource-efficient operation on your own network. Monitoring runs extremely lean and agentless directly on your instances. There is no measurable additional load on your production databases. You retain full control over updates, maintenance windows, and system resources.
Seamless integration into your existing IT landscape.
Architecture: Pure on-premises installation (no internet connection required for operation).
Compatibility: Supports all common Microsoft SQL Server versions from 2019 onwards and Microsoft Dynamics NAV / Business Central on-premises environments.
Deployment: Quick setup via script/installer in under 30 minutes.
With the help of the V8 Monitor, you can easily view the history of the execution of your Dynamics AL programming and the resulting SQL transaction of the SQL Server in a live streaming view.
Discover the new auto-profiler feature in V8 Monitor! This powerful tool streamlines troubleshooting of Business Central Server performance issues by enabling background profiling based on set rules. Whether you're a partner, consultant, or developer, this feature simplifies the process of collecting and analyzing performance data, reducing time to resolution and manual collaboration effort.
Events that occur on the Business Central Server instances, such as table locks, SQL server deadlocks, or long SQL Query transactions, can be recorded with the V8 Monitor. These are captured by the V8 Monitor and written to the V8 SQL database.
Future-proof and backward compatible: From Navision to Business Central.
Many companies still rely on proven systems for business-critical processes. Our monitoring tool bridges the gap between old and new. It not only supports the latest Dynamics 365 Business Central On-Premises versions, but also provides comprehensive analysis of older Microsoft Dynamics NAV (Navision) environments. Protect your existing investments and optimize performance – regardless of the version you're using.
