The Top Servers report identifies your worst performing SQL Server instances based on the number of active alerts for the current monitored instances, response time, CPU usage, memory usage, and disk usage.
You can further filter your monitored instances by wait time with waits that exceed a defined Wait Threshold in milliseconds.
Use this report to compile a list of instances that need immediate attention.
A value of N/A indicates that the Collection service failed to collect data due to disabled OS metrics or a non-responsive WMI server. You must enable OS metrics monitoring to receive results.
